I'll cover one thing. annoying other artists with your prices
who cares what other people think if you're selling low. it's just
business.
what matters is if you're making enough money to be successful.
and even then, profit may not matter to some people. if ones goal is to
break even and have the art appreciated, go for it.
I work full time in IT and run a photo business on the side. If I could
schedule a single wedding based off having an art booth it's worth the same
to me as selling dozens of pieces of art.
