"Hey, welcome there, my name is Lars Erik Robinson and my company is Lars Arts: All Around Art-tainment. Today I thought I'd talk about how to sell your artwork and how to sell maybe your prints or how to promote yourself. Well the main thing nowadays is to get yourself on the world wide web and get your work either on a photo supplier on websites, there's a lot of different ones out there or get your own website built. Also, the great thing is is networking and having yourself a standard cover letter, introducing yourself, breaking down what you can offer to them in a simple letter. Create an interest in what you do. That helps give people an understanding of how, what kind of work you do. You could also sell your prints of different work that you've done for example, this is a simple print, color copy print that I put in a mat with some plastic pieces there. Having a portfolio made up, that you can show to people and how to sell your art. This is a nice piece that I just did for my son's soccer team. So being around things, having people see you in the field, that's how you can sell your work. Basically get out there, get people to know you. Thank you so much."
