Recently, someone asked me through my eBay account if they could use my Santa images for something since they couldn't draw a lick. He or she was looking specifically for black folk art and couldn't find any.
I am as white as a sheet of paper but feel that skin tones must work for the folk art pieces I create and this interested party found one of my black Santas. I responded after thinking about it and resolved that I wanted to keep the piece of art in tact as art. Mass production would cheapen it and I fear losing my copyright to it. But it did give me an idea.
I do have an Etsy account and remember how many people actually used it to sell digital downloads. I will not be using Etsy as my selling platform right now because of my extremely tight budget. So I have done my research and am trying out Sellz. I will be using this on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and here. This is my very first image and my trial run. Please enjoy and come back frequently for updates as I try to post something at least twice a month.
