As we near the end of August and creep into September, the
air is becoming slightly cooler and with the coming of October, trees will shed
their leaves and Halloween will come dancing down the pavement in a cascade of
dead leaves and light, eerie laughter. October
is my favorite time of the year. Halloween horror movie fests, night coming
quicker, the air is pregnant with mystery.
This Fall I find myself focusing more on producing and
selling artwork. I fully confess that I target a niche audience, this has
caused me some limitations in being able to advertise my work to its potential.
Also, it has hampered me because I know that much of my work will never appeal
to mainstream. I also confess this is fueled by a bit of arrogance, conceit and
vanity. Yet, in my feeble haphazard way
I still meander down this path most likely to get lost in the woods and may
have to set off a flair to be found. But you only live once.
I also have never been good at self-promotion, in fact most
artists would rather be in front of a drawing table or an easel that ply their
wares on the internet. But I am learning slowly and find that you must give as
much into self-promotion as you do the act of creating. It can be disheartening,
but it is the way it is.
Since Halloween is upon us, I do have horror themed Tees
available on Amazon as well as Zazzle.
You will find the shirts on Amazon are cheaper, but the quality of the
shirts on Zazzle, especially for black Tees, are higher, thus more expensive. Zazzle does two passes on Black Tees with
white ink to insure the image is probably defined. Amazon, I am not quite sure yet. I have
ordered from both and both have met my expectations and those that didn’t, I
reworked and resubmitted.
Below are designs that are Halloween themed available on Amazon:
Or you can visit my Zazzle Shop, not just for Tees, but posters, prints, postcards, playing cards, sketch books and more...
