Struggling with Moonlighting

This whole idea about working a day job and moonlighting to sell art is starting to overwhelm me. I was reviewing the Etsy stores yesterday and noticed how polished each store appeared online. The artists on Etsy must spend lots of time and effort to make their art appealing to shoppers. They couldn't have done this as a moonlighting gig - could they?

To start myself off, the best option is to sell some of my existing work as prints. This is just to gauge the public's interests. I have an eclectic portfolio, not necessarily appealing, to the mass audience (Etsy).

A print of my cafe sketches, like this one, might (might) be desirable as a postcard or thank you card...


There's no way to know unless I try.

OK, onward.
CoWaBunGA!
