I’ve decided to test the waters to see whether I can sell prints of types of images I have been creating for the past few months. Last week I applied for the trademark of “Digicrylics, given that these are digitized acrylic paintings (painted, photographed, then intensely processed via Photoshop). I’ve registered numerous images for copyright protection. I’ve also started building my website and started brainstorming my business plan. In the meantime, I continue to explore and experiment. It’s been a ton of fun, even though are many more failures along the way than ideas that “work.”
Art aficionados in China and Ukraine have shown remarkable interest in similar works. Contact Hunter’s publicist. You’ll be rich.
Seriously, if you’re putting together a business plan please remember that its purpose is to plan the business. Not to get a loan or for any other purpose. Decide on a business model (how you’ll make money) and an operations model (how your business will do what it does). I’m not trying to give you an idiot lesson; I’ve talked dozens of people through starting a new business, plenty of them smarter than I, maybe a dozen were attorneys, and were ignorant. I’ll send you a follow-up email.
