I get a lot of emails from people resistant to making their first move to buy or sell items on eBay. This gigantic site can seem a tad overwhelming.

Have no fear, eBay tutorials are here!

The online eBay University Learning Center provides a lot of easy to follow tutorials that will teach you how to become a member, buy and sell items on eBay, and show you the basics of how to increase your sales!  Go to the eBay tutorials and see what you’ve been missing!

Many thanks to Peter Cyr who busted his behind the past week* to work on my new website for free! Jaw dropping talent!

Mr. Cyr, I still can’t believe how generous you are! Thank you so much for believing in me and my dream!!

Oh, and thank you for helping me out every way that you can. Seriously… MERCI!!!! My goal in life is to someday become your sugar-mamma.

Also, a big thank you to my parents. How many times did I call to say, “Moooooom, Daaaaaad” and they said, “How much do you need?” My financials haven’t been the greatest in the past year (do I really have to mention the economy?) and they never once told me to quit being an artist when my business went from bad to badder to badderer to badderest. I’ll pay you back every penny, and more, someday. I’ll be your sugar-daughter.

And Delia Comeau, she’s the reason I’m not naked. Seriously, everyone should thank her for this!! I’m on a super strict budget and she gives me awesome hand-me-down clothes. Also, thank you for understanding that I never have the time or money to go out but you keep being my friend. Hopefully, someday I get to be your sugar-friend.

You guys are the best and I love you all very much!!!

Also, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all of those who have bid on my paintings on ebay in the past!! You keep my dream alive and strong!

*2 full weekends included… plus working a full time job!

At this very moment, my favorite paints to use are artist grade Liquitex acrylic paints (super high viscosity). I prefer to use the super heavy body types, but sometimes I need the soft body paints, depending on what I’m trying to achieve in a painting. I tend to go for soft body when using white or black.
