Sam, did you ever decide if you were willing to sell to us, and if so, what your prices were? ---

Wow. Just wow. I applaud all the talent here! [Here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/30882724@N06/) are my humble contributions. The art is from high school (let’s just call it over 20 years ago) and the photos are a little more recent. Nothing to make a living on, but I enjoy looking at them. ---

I’ve taken just enough in the way of art classes to know that I can’t do traditional art. I used to to dabble in Poser art, though, and I currently paint RPG miniatures for my group’s table-top games. [My gallery is here.](http://suzene.deviantart.com/) ---

Thanks everyone so far for sharing! I especially like your silhouettes **Maastricht**. I always find it inspiring to see what other artists are doing. It’s good motivation to work on something rather than just collapse on the couch and watch Law & Order reruns. > [@gigi](#): > > Sam, did you ever decide if you were willing to sell to us, and if so, what your prices were? Thanks, I am always so flattered when someone is interested in my work. I have gotten over the separation anxiety with my work and would be willing to sell it, but I’ve still been lazy and haven’t figured out the logistics of shipping them yet. I would absolutely hate to sell someone a painting, ship it, then it arrive messed up in some way because I didn’t pack it properly. But I do want to have an Etsy store set up by Christmas and as soon as I do I’ll let you know. ---
