um....
so... uh ArtFire is Using "Shin" for one of their "Everyone can use it" Hanukkah banners... buh....yay? lol
Unsure if this is a good thing or not.
I kind of wish they'd have asked me first, but I guess it's pretty cool that they chose it.
So if you are having a handmade hanukkah, and you are running a shop on AF, you can use "How to Play Dreidel Series -Shin Shteln Put" as your banner!

I am toying with the idea
Of culling a lot of stuff off of various venues. I mean the listing would be hidden from public or made inactive.
Here's why:
It looks cluttered
And
There is actually some stuff up that I don't like, and that no one else seems to find particularly fantastic either. I mean that's okay, they can't all be home runs, but some of the stuff I don't care for how it turned out, have featured/treasury'd/collection'd/been commented well on, and I should probably leave those up.
You know, because I am not always the best judge... it's very easy when you are the artist to look at a finished work and say "That did not get to the place I was going." But very hard to tell if it got someplace else entirely for someone else. So when I get positive feedback on one I feel missed the mark I wonder about it, not because I don't trust others' opinions, but because I don't see what I wanted and that kind of blinds me to what others might see.
Ah, the fun of subjectivity in art, everyone sees it different. Even me.
But there's some that have just been duds. It didn't get where I was going, and while a technically proficient piece, also failed to go anywhere for anyone else.
There's also some I really like but no one else seems to. I might have to do a special feature "Things I like that no one else does" or something, I guess it could be people missed it or something, give those a little push publicity wise.
Anyway, if you like something and want me to leave it up so you can buy it at some point, leave me a comment. Nothing will be "Gone" just hidden to clean up the shop and make it all a little more tidy, If I hid something you liked, feel free to let me know and I will unhide it.
When the new ArtFire shop make-overs go into effect I want my store to look neat and friendly and organized. I'm gonna try to cull back to one page in each shop section.
Also I am gonna go through redbubble and clean up a little there too... I have to take out things that have no views, features, and, no comments as it's making for a mess on their new interface. (their new interface is fine... it's way better than the old one, but it's a little cluttered with as much stuff as I have up there.)
Also there's some shirt designs that have no sales and no comments/favorites and no features... but oddly enough I don't think there's any up that are missing all three... but if there are they'll be coming down.
Except for the conversational compass, 'cause , while no one on redbubble seems to like it, the button I did on cafépress sold pretty good on there, so people get it, and like it, I think it just maybe can't be found , cause I think I marked it NSFW which I would change except Redbubble got their squinky handed to them about NSFW works a while back and being really strict with what is and isn't work-safe.

Well that tears it...
This morning in a fit of frustration I moved all my originals from Etsy to ArtFire.
So the only thing left on etsy is commissions for oil or acrylic portraits. I may move those at a later date.
From now on if you would like to purchase an Original Painting please Visit my ArtFire studio.
The new interface combined with the old problems... just proved too much for me, the tools etsy offered weren't doing anything useful for me, and it's just time to throw my energy at the ArtFire shop, and see if I get better results.

Three day's worth
The facebook fanpage is having issues.
They have this new picture uploader, that does a cool thing with a hitch,
The cool thing is that it reads the file info you put in the photo in PS (which is where I embed the copyright notice and info on the piece) And automatically uses that as the caption, which saves me a step when I am uploading things.
HOWEVER the hitch is they automatically strip out the © symbol, so I have to add that in by hand. I don't care for the practice of stripping ut the copyright symbol, I think it's kind of shady. But there you go. Not much I can do but add it back in.
Today, independant of that, it's not even loading.
So here are the last three days of daily paintings, hopefully the auto feed from the blog will happpen...

Still mulling over my options on originals, ArtFire gave my e-mail address to a scammer so I am not happy with them at this point. Also the daily high pressure "BECOME PRO ACCOUNT" e-mails are getting more than a little annoying.
At this point, If you see something you like and want the original of, comment on the post and I will make a listing at etsy for it reserved for you and send you the link. etsy may suck on a lot of levels, but they have never given out my e-mail to a scammer and they do work well as a shopping cart.
