I've often thought it would be interesting to try to sell something small on ebay just to see what would happen, but don't want to go through all the hassle. I don't really make small stuff anyway and fear the efffort to develop small items would detract from my bigger goals. I almost bought something off your ebay site btw, but christmas shopping has bit a hole in my pocket. Yesterday I sat down to skim through a kind of dumb lifestyle magazine my sister gave me called Domino (great name, but really obvious advice) and the big headline on one article struck me really wrong "Forget Galleries, go on to Blogs and Ebay" basically telling people they can get cheap art that way. I've always been very pro-internet and guerilla marketing and for that reason think it's great artists can sell their stuff on the web. But the media can twist that. Anyway, sound like you're doing pretty well for yourself. Life is always about balance, eh?PaMdorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14673157255405327125noreply@blogger.com
