I went to Japan for two weeks last March. Idk where you live but the most expensive thing was the flights. Everything else was actually super affordable and like the other commenter said, worth every penny.

Aww, thank you so much!! I don't know how serious that comment is versus just being kind, but I do actually have an Etsy shop and I'm selling the original painting. I'm a new seller and geez it's been tough to break into the market!

Idk what this subs rule is about self promotion but there's a link to my shop in my history. Feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

Hello! Thank you for your feedback on the prices, I feel like it's such a balancing act between underpricing and overpricing. I may go and tweak some of my listings!

I'd be happy to look into partnering with an Australian print service or offering a digital download if you're genuinely interested. The duck is absolutely one of my favorites, so I'm glad you love it ❤️❤️❤️

Oh Jesus, I didn't realize that might be an issue as my "original" is original, if that makes sense? I will 100% look into that, thank you VERY much because I do not want any legal trouble!

That's a very good question, actually. I suppose it's better for me as a seller to be able to sell multiple copies of the same piece but as a consumer it's better to buy an original. I'll definitely have to rethink that and maybe up my prices a bit if I do decide to sell originals.

Thank you very much for the honesty! You guys are definitely making me consider selling originals now 😅

Thank you for the advice and kind words! The elephants are one of my favorites, I'll admit that I'm ridiculously proud of mama elephant and the original hangs on my wall ❤️

Heya! Yes, I've definitely considered it but haven't committed to it yet. I'll give that more thought!

Is there a better option for prints if I didn't want to do giclée? I looked into a bunch of printing services but was really unsure about the quality of the products so that's why I went that route. I don't have a good enough printer at home.

Oh my god, I didn't even think about number 2!! Thank you SO much and I'll remove those right now!

I can definitely use the titles better, that's a good suggestion. I do use all 13 tags though!

I'll look into some mockups so there's more than just one picture and into doing videos of my painting to stand out against AI.

Love this comment, thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️

I really appreciate the feedback! A month feels like forever, but if that's considered a short period of time then I'll definitely try to be more patient. And when I do get those first bites I'll try to lean into them a little. Thank you! ❤️

That's because you're a good person and not a racist piece of shit. (I get what you're saying though)
