Edward -

I have sold a number of works through my site, so yes, it does work.  OTOH, the
quantity I have sold does not exactly make me take it too seriously.  I also
sell through a small local gallery here, but again, the number of sales is not
significant.

Of course, I have not been too ambitious in this respect (my Web site doesn't
even mention that my prints are for sale).  I want to keep things as a serious
hobby, and fear that depending upon the income from my prints would take away
from the freedom I currently enjoy.

Cheers -

george
