I’ve been using Bandcamp for years to sell my music online. And for even longer, I’ve been using Etsy to sell my artwork. And both places have worked fairly well for me. It took a lot of the hassle out of setting up any kind of online commerce. And for me, with that kind of stuff, any hassle is too much hassle.
But today I started thinking about what if I made my art and music also available on my own site, here? And the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. This way I could control the look of the pages better. I could include videos if I wanted. I could better control my categories and layouts. So yeah, it seemed like a good idea.
So a little while ago I took some photos of my newest CD, In Measured Hundredweight, and made a listing for it. Very simple, no frills. But it’s up. And it works. So the ball is rolling. Soon I’ll be able to add my other albums, as well as the No More Kings ones. And then one by one, I’ll start bringing over some of my artwork, starting with prints.
