Yah, we know it's a sucky world that spends more on blowing stuff up than it does on art but going on about that will just mean you keep starving. How do you sell your stuff.
The first thing is obvious in promotion. You've got to let people know about it or how can they buy it. This subject goes volumes on its own and it's not my purpose just now.
Think how else you can push your stuff.
T-shirts
Think this through. For a painter, every t-shirt is an advertising so long as you make sure your name is on the shirt in some cool way.
So, CafePress makes it very easy to put your images on t-shirts but they take a big slice in the sale. Selling them yourself really sucks so maybe it's worth it. Yes, they take a big slice but every shirt is taking your art and your name out somewhere you couldn't take it yourself. Maybe that slice isn't so big after all.
CafePress is kind of cool as you can put your images on ashtrays, coffee cups, any crazy thing you like and the media quality is quite good, meaning the stuff will last and keep advertising for you.
What I tell you is no secret but only motivated individuals will do something about it.
