I sold five napkin arts tonight, so that was an easy $25 coming in.
I bought two beers at $5 each.
I was hoping to sell more, but I was lucky to get what I did on a Sunday night.
I've sold $150 worth on a Sunday before, though.
There is no limit to what I can sell. It just depends on whether or not people are in the mood to buy.
The hard part is being nice to people at all times, especially when they ask stupid questions or say stupid things. I also don't like 'pulling teeth' when engaging them in conversation. I'm not that desperate to sell to people that I don't want to own my art.
They either like the art or not. They will either pay my price or not. That's about it. I don't know why I have to be Mr. Charming on top of that. It's not my job as an artist. It might be as a salesman, though. It is not as easy as it might seem to switch from artist mode to salesman mode, though. I am getting better at it. Most professional artists have an agent for a reason.
To get better prices for my art will take some doing.
