Photo of really old flower, it was barely alive and had bloomed almost all summer. Actual pic is nice too, but played with photoshop and liked the results more. .n

You have the makings of some fine designs for fabrics. Why not try shopping them around to some source of fabric production. Beautiful transferred to silk on a scarfe.

I would second Bill's suggestion except the colors are so melancoly on the otherhand a fabric producer can always change that. Bsteph

Thanks Bill, and bsteph. Actually, I would almost pay to get my works in canvas, cards, posters, exhibitions or something like that. I would love to show my works somewhere, to somebody, but simply dont have connections. So if any of you guys have published anything, it would be intresting to hear how did you contacted right persons? Do you have showcase or just mail yer best works? How did you do it? .n

It has been years since I took an interest in photo sales. The first stop is a book store. IN the photo section there are books on marketing. Many of these books have listings of agencies and publications that tell what market they cover. Second you can submit directly to publications. Write or e-mail them to see what their policy is for accepting and publication. As for markets such as fabric printing, contact artists who do that sort of art and craft work. Either work with them or have them quote a price for production and find a boutique that will take them on consignment.

I've had something recommended recently for gaining contacts which I completely overlooked - probably because it's TOO obvious..... Colleges or Universities often have links within the business community which can be useful - I think this may be especially true for getting your work onto this medium, Niko. Worth a try, anyhow. Cheers! Mike.

Also try music companies. An artist friend of mine got his start there. Just be sure to COPY your work. Bsteph

I got my publishing stint from friends' recommendations. Plus, I also put thumbs of my images in a website and I sent the URLs to people who might be interested in my services. I have another idea for you. Have them printed out as postcards to sell. Travelling advertising :-) Most of the artists here self-publish their own stuff, and do merchandising on the side. (*
