.
.
The Background:
.
I WAS going to try and make little art booklets,
Just some pictures and poetry.
Nothing fancy, just 5 pages of A4 stacked and then folded to sell for as low as I can get them under 5£ each
Being able to sell them for 2£ or 3£ each would have been nice.
Unlikely but nice.
Something someone might buy as a cheap impulse purchase.
I just wanted to make £1 single pound on each thing I sold.
Only want to print a few at a time, 2 or 3 at a time at most.
Then flip them fairly quickly.
I don't want to be rich - I don't need to be rich - I just want just enough to tick over and create more stuff.
.
However
.
IT CAN NOT BE DONE!
.
.
THE SIDE RANT:
.
At the price it costs to make them - I'd have to sell them for over £6 each and NO ONE wants to buy an impulse thing for over £5.
.
HELL, last time I was selling little picture photos, at Disgraceland Baker St pub,
Someone wanted me to kick-drop the price from £2 or 3X for £5 each for the photos of my art,
To a lower £1:50p each or £3 for x3!
.
HELL, no one wants to spend £35 on an A2-sized painting that took 8 hours to do!
.
It is enough to make me want to get a UV tanning lamp and stare into it for 15 minutes a day until I go blind
Because IF am blind then I can quit creating and hoping!
(Because I have not got enough willpower to make myself quit by just stopping alone! - I'd have to take my ability to make stuff away from myself by force, to MAKE MYSELF quit!)
.
OR INSTEAD
I can just hammer all my stuff down to just £10 per A2,
£5 per A3, and £3 per A4 and a form of both self-harm to me and as an act of enraged spite to all other artists - as I devalue art as a whole!
.
It would have to me working even cheaper - because I can't possibly work any harder!
.
I am sick of feeling defeated all the time!
It makes me want to burn the world alive and giggle at the screams.
.
Anyway
Long story short
- I AM LETTING YOU ALL PRINT THESE OUT FOR YOURSELVES - FOR FREE!
.
.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR FREE BOOKLET!
