Rolf Adlercreutz 108 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I just had my second best year in the number of sales, 72, just one short of my record from 2012. Money-wise, not so much, but I had hoped to pass $50.000 in gross sales this year but I am $18 short. On the other hand, my average gross sale price on Alamy is just over $71. Not bad, but that is thanks to the early years when prices where high. So, Happy New Year everybody! I hope next year will be better in every wat! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Japan as a culture seems to have a higher regard for art than some other cultures. They subsidize some of their practitioners of more esoteric older crafts, too, as National Living Treasures. They had obscene farm taxes before the Meiji restoration (up to 40% compared to most Asian countries' 12% to 15%) and farmers had to find some way to earn back rice to survive. In the winters, they made cool stuff for the samurai and the merchants -- textiles, paper, ceramics, calligraphy brushes. (I got this from a semester of Japanese literature in translation and some reading about Japanese crafts, including "The Unknown Craftsman: A Japanese Insight into Beauty" and some comparison between the Japanese tea ceremony and Chinese Gong Fu tea drinking, which was about the tea, not philosophy).

Sally 2,083 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Approx 50% of my sales and also 50% of gross revenue during 2020 compared to all sales and revenue since I started in 2017. More photos, better photos, better idea of what sells. Edited December 31, 2020 by Sally 1 Link to post Share on other sites
