I have been trying both photography and making my own art from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>To get some feedback and possibly some money I put some of these up on sites on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>The first place I thought about was <a title=\"Threadless website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.threadless.com\/\">Threadless<\/a>, I have bought Tees from there for a few years now and enjoy rating other peoples art when I need a wind down type task at the end of the day or when I am sick. However, I discovered they have a &#8220;daughter&#8221; site called <a title=\"My Society6 recent art\" href=\"http:\/\/society6.com\/RavenCat\">Society6<\/a>, where the art is put on prints, hone cases and skins, cards and laptop skins. So I tried that out and have found it fun. I have even sold a whopping 3 phone cases, retirement here I come, LOL.<\/p>\n<p>More recently I found <a title=\"My Behance portfolio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.behance.net\/World_Raven\">Behance<\/a> which looks good but I am still trying that out. Most recently I have discovered Fine Arts America, which by no means is a site for Americans only. It has artists from all over the world. I like it&#8217;s format of uploading pictures better than Society6, but you are limited to 25 pieces of art on a free account. Today a paid account is $30 a year, which does not seem steep to me if you sell stuff on there. I have reached my limit there and it&#8217;s too early to tell if it&#8217;s a good place for me to sell art. However what I also like about the place is the feedback I have been receiving.<\/p>\n<p>Society6 is a very supportive place to post art to. Any comment I have ever received has been positive, so it seems if people there so not like your work they do not vote it up and they do not comment. This is a nice way to start putting your art out into the world as you are gently supported. However most of the comments are general and do not say what is working. Whereas on Fine Arts America, while the comments are still in the positive (so far) they are more specifically tailored to the piece itself, which I find useful.<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/slideshowmouseover.php?id=15429872252&amp;memberidtype=artistid&amp;memberid=154298&amp;width=400px&amp;height=400px\"><\/script><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"faaslideshowimage[15429872252]\" style=\"width: 400px; height: 400px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #666666; cursor: hand;\" title=\"Art Prints\" onclick=\"javascript: mouseclick15429872252(event);\" onmouseover=\"javascript: mouseover15429872252();\" onmouseout=\"javascript: mouseout15429872252();\" src=\"http:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/Blank.jpg\" alt=\"Art Prints\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The whole site feels very professional, it has groups dedicated to different artistic visions and styles and you only need to upload one file to the site and it handles putting that on a range of mediums from cards to metal prints and canvas prints, it even allows you to sell original artwork if you wish.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of Behance on the other hand is its a well recognised name and it allows you to direct people to your art where ever you are selling it or just to post pictures of you work to build your artistic portfolio as a designer, architect or artist. So it is not a sell only website.<\/p>\n<p>I am having fun connecting to my creative side, if you have any suggestions on where to sell art please leave a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been exploring my creative side of late and trying to increase those skills and skills with programs to assit that creativity.
