How do you put a price on your own artwork? .....I mean apart from what its actually cost you to produce it in the first place. Anyone any advice?

Hi,

If there are any merseyside artists, photographers, illustrators or designers looking to show and sell their work please take a look at my artists community at www.artybuzz.com.

I am currently looking for new people to show and sell their work, especially those from the merseyside area.

Thanks
