Several months ago (maybe even longer) I registered with Etsy, an online site where artists sell their work. It's taken me a long time to get around to actually posting something for sale on Etsy, but I'm happy to say that I finally have! **YAHOO!**
I'll be using Etsy as a place to sell high quality prints of my illustrations, and original art. I've added a link over on the right side of my blog for "My Etsy Shop".
I chose to sell prints on Etsy rather than eBay, it's because Etsy is dedicated to artists, where eBay is everything under the sun....and then some. It's a great site with LOADS of talented artists! Check it out!
FYI: Etsy is not an auction site. Items are listed with a buy price, so if you want something there's no waiting for an auction to end.
Thank g-d! Off to buy something now!

Congrats on your Etsy shop!! I will have to go check it out as soon as I post this! I have an Etsy shop too. . .not very profitable for me, but I like that I can keep pictures on there for when I meet people at craft fairs and it's somewhere for them to view pictures! Good luck with yours! I'm sure you'll do great!!

Congratulations! I wondered why you didn't sell your illustrations. I'm so glad you are now!
