I'm curious what other people doing relief printing do with their work. Sell it? Just print a few for yourself? Make your own cards? Charity fundraiser items?
@jjLitke I have several gracious friends who enjoy my work and have a "wall of Paul" somewhere in their house. Otherwise, I generally keep them on hand as a gift for guests who express interest in my art.
I have seen other printmakers who like to package up individual prints and leave them in public places as free art, finders keepers. I like this idea a lot and will probably start doing it as well
@paul_griffin Wow, that is such a cool idea! I love the Wall of Paul concept, too, lol
@jjLitke I think it was @nicetriangle that first put me onto the thought of art drops:

@paul_griffin @jjLitke yeah I really enjoy it, feels like you're the art fairy hiding free prints around the city. Good way to get some solid practice in too because really with printmaking the best way to get really good is to just run a lot of prints. And seriously what are you gonna do with all of them?
I will also sell them at art markets too, but it's a slowish trickle so far with that.
I carved a few designs for fun, gifted some prints, and then did a limited series for a trans rescue fundraiser.
I've been pondering ideas for the next one since.
@RussSharek Awesome! Sounds about like the way I'd like to go with my work, too.
I think it's important to let some of the making simply be play.
@jjLitke mainly for myself but...
