Selling Myself

Have you heard of Etsy?

If yes, skip to the second paragraph.
If no, where on Earth have you been? Read on and educate yourself.

It's a social commerce website where people like me can open a storefront to sell handmade and vintage items. I really can't even
begin to tell you everything that exists on Etsy. Here's a start: art, photography, clothing, jewelry, edibles, bath & beauty products, quilts, nick-knacks, toys, craft supplies, etc. I'm finding it hard to even pick examples to link. Just think of it as stumbling upon an amazingly unique item in a vintage store, craft fair, or like, your grandma's den.
A true nerd's delight.

After thinking about opening a shop for a few years, I finally got around to doing it. You can see my shop here. You'll find a series of my illustrations, examples of custom pet portraits, and posters. I'm hoping to add a lot more work in the near future. There is literally a list in my cludio (closet/studio) of ideas waiting to be materialized. But for now, happy viewing. Or happy buying? This has been TweedleG, and it's all happening.
