I am into just about every type of art and go in many directions with my own art....from dark and dreary, funny and pretty I love and dabble in it all. My dream is to be able to work out of my home by doing affiliate marketing and other at home income makers. I want to generate enough income to be my own boss and to afford time to be creative. Anything I can do to help another artist get ahead I will gladly post.Here's a bit of info I put together for an Art Online lens I built:
The internet offers many free and paid sites for posting and selling artwork...you can sell both original or prints through online sites. It's a great way to build up your portfolio and learn about becoming a professional artist.
The first site I used and it's still going strong is www.printpop.com at print pop you can set up a public portfolio of your work and get a % of the sales..they do all the printing and mailing and printpop is and owned by wonderful/helpful people.
At www.lulu.com you can sell you art, photo, writing and music and they handle all shipping and printing making it a very easy process
www.ebay.com as most of you know has a great deal of art for auction prices - there are fees involved and it is flooded with art but worth the small investment.
Sign up for Art.com and get a complete mini website with all the bells and whistles. Their staff reviews all submissions before posting, so be sure to submit your best work. http://www.art.com/App/OriginalArt/
http://www.myspace.com Join for free, make your profile page, post your art, start a free blog and upload your art. The site also features message boards, announcements and great networking tools.
post art for sale on craigslist search for your area and place free ads
one of my favorite finds is Art Rage a wonderful free to try and low priced to buy graphic arts program...with ease you feel like you are painting with your mouse or Waacom. Very generous softeware and a great forum to join as well. great deal on art supplies on amazon.com

I have a Wacom at home and get as much enjoymet out of the virtual brush strokes as I do from real ones. It's amazing what all you can do with one. I recommend people trying Art Rage for free or purchase and seeing how much it feels like you are really painting...then try a Wacom for even more graphic art skills.

Hello All....I'm Angelina Gherna. I was born and raised in Los Angeles County and I'm still out here. I have diverse interests which I think show in all of my Squidoo lenses. I'm an IT at a non-profit by profession and artist for fun and hopefully profit. I am into collectibles and love all art. I have always been interested in honest ways to make income from home so Squidoo is a dream website. I love that in the pursuit of building my income each lens gives back to charities so not only is it a challenge for success, but we also get to give back.
