That is lovely though....I wish I could be a little less precise...more free in my drawings, someone once said I drew like an architect .....but I can't ....as sometimes I wonder why someone would want a precise drawn copy of a photo lol..I wish I could follow the less is more route and put a little more interpretation into the portraits but I really wouldn't know where to begin now

Drew like an achitect? I'm sitting here wondering if they were looking at the same drawings I am lol! They're wonderful- don't listen to comments like that! I personally love sketches and have bought a couple myself over the years- they have so much more charm than a photograph!

Arh right, I get you now! I think the detail you put into your sketches is amazing and there's no need to change anything IMO! How do you sell them by the way? Do you just take orders off the net or do you market them in other ways too?

Mainly online from Facebook which suits me ....
I have my blogshop but that at present just works as a showcase as I just haven't had the time to paint any stock, as again through my facebook fanpage I get orders for my decorative art too ..so it works out quite nicely...
I'm not strict enough with my time, as I work fulltime my free time is precious and there is so much I want/have to do in it ;)

There are the Facebook fanpages which are for promoting businesses, they are free but also you can get a Facebook shop which is totally free too and uses paypal....the shop becomes another tab on your profile page.
Off to look at your website :)

How do you access them and set them up Lajoni (don't know your real name)? I'd defo be interested in finding out more about that! don't you just love forums for this kind of thing!

Brilliant Lajoni!!! Just brilliant! Why oh why hasn't anyone told me about this before? Have you any idea how long it's been going for? I've just done both although I'm yet to add products to my store front and I doubt very much that it'll stay free forever but hey, take full advantage whilst it is eh! Thanks again, you're a star!
