Yep

I tallied up all my earnings and spendings in my art biz last year, and this year it's MUCH better, already,

Comparing the first 4 months this year with the first 4 months last year, and I've doubled it already.

I've found another flea type market (within a bar) to sell my prints at, which seems to be very successful.

So now it's a well paid part time job (not a full time job though)

I also cut a cardboard frame for my prints, so it's quite a unique way of displaying and selling them..

I was thinking that maybe I could live off my art if I do lots of smaller well known international scenes, but Iv'e decided it should be a hobby first and foremost, and keep progressing as I go along. I can't wait to start my next painting of a trendy non-CBD suburb in Wellington..

We have the rugby world cup this year, too and I think my work will hit the tourist market..

Enjoyment's the most important factor though.
