Gauging your art to your market sector is a great idea. Finding a niche for your art is a great place to start. Very nice looking site too Elandria, I like your use of Youtube. Let us know how it all goes! Nate Thanks Elandria,

Limited and unlimited editions will appeal to different markets and for new artists a market for unlimited editions might not exist right away, anyway. Yours Elandria I basically agree with Brian.

Thanks Brian. The Photoblog looks great. I hope everything is going well. Carole, that is very interesting idea. So the more prints, the higher the original. Making your art available for more people is a great idea. Thanks for sharing! Great insight!

In fact, one could argue that in the case of paintings, at least, the more prints you sell the more valuable the original becomes. And you would still be having your art affordable for many people.

Since these limited editions are also signed by the artist, they become an authentic collectable that can be aimed at a higher-end market interested in purchasing an investment. But I also think that unlimited and unsigned prints are great. These prints don't cheapen the "originals" in any way, they just appeal to a different market segment. I work with six other fine art photographers through our photoblog, and we all agreed that we would offer both types of prints to our customers. None of us feel that the unsigned prints "cheapen" the signed works. I can buy a poster of an Ansel Adams photo -- does that make his signed prints any less valuable? Certainly not.
