Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Tips for artists who want to sell?
-
27-08-2010 3:51pm#1I came across this image on piccsy.com, change the word "paintings" to photographs and it still stands as valid!
At first I was going to throw it in the Off topic thread but then I thought, no no, let's give it a proper thread with a question attached!
Seeing as PP2010 is on this weekend (I'll be there, buy my prints, pimp pimp), it is always interesting to see which pictures sell and which ones don't. I'm displaying 1 landscape and a good few abstracts so curious as to which will perform better.
As a general question - if you have sold prints before or bought them yourself, what sells best?
If I wanted to become rich by taking photographs (Don't worry, I don't want to, you all know that) what subject will be a route into shiny pennies and loads of them?

Cows and Hens gather dust? Well from my own experience is: coming in at almost 1,450 pics sold in 8months is
And a hen weighing in with about 300 pics sold in 6 months is...
Painting and photography are very different beasts. I wouldn't agree with anything on the list for photography.
What sells? Green pictures and red pictures.
What doesn't? Swans, flowers and pics where a stranger's face is dominant.
There are of course exceptions to the rules but it is for me a pretty good rule of thumb.0 -

just to provide a source for this. It's a copy of an artwork by US artist John Baldessari. He had a big show in London last year. His main point in this artwork and other similar ones is that the 'rules' that artists are told are wrong.
and one of my favourites, this one below that he got from a photography book about what you should and shouldn't do
