A charcoal class on figure study and now an "A la Prima" oils class, they are having a profound effect on my art. Something broke loose in me so look out! Its gonna be a fun ride!

So I've started down a path to try to make more of my art. I used to sell my prints thru my store (RIP) now I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that online. I love browsing DA, and the camaraderie here is great, but not so much for selling art. So I've got MysteryTentacle.com under my belt, any recommendations on setting up a site? Something free to do, easy to maintain and change, shopping cart included? The last time I set up a site I spent an obnoxious amount of cash and was completely frustrated, I hope I can learn from some of my mistakes.

I succeeded in every way except making money. I expect to be full of all kinds of angsty emotions over the next couple of months and I will channel it into my art. Keep your eyes open, it should get interesting! (and weird).PS I honestly have no Effin clue what is next for me, I'll open some doors and see what comes thru, maybe my art will be a part of it.....
