opportunities, such as writing a book.(This process is outlined in detail in my “ArtInsights” seminar.) Ultimately, you canpublish your own book e-book or onlinenewsletter and have different products allrelated to your field of art. Many possibilitiesexist for a varied income stream.I have also been developing my own rangeof limited edition prints for a number ofyears. I first started making these around1999 when the technology was in its earlierstages.Originally these prints were incorporatedinto my installations. I have since found thatthe prints provide another reliable streamof income when produced responsibly, invery small editions.I would recommend that you keep youreditions to a maximum of 15 prints, therebykeeping them exclusive and special, whichmatters to clients. I also recommendpricing them affordably. This is particularlythe case with digital and giclée prints.90
These days I try to limit my limited editionprints to paper. I use 300 GSM archespaper, which is one of the best, and thisreally helps with quality. Sometimes I goonto canvas, but this is usually only whenI am making works that are a part of aninstallation.91
