I am also a craigslist artist, and post many of my events, art projects and blog posts on craigslist. I find you can find some very hard working self represented artists by browsing craigslist. I have also had success with people finding me through this method.
Below are some sample of Zareh's work, which seems to be picking up right where Joan Miro left off (especially the paintings). I happen to enjoy Miro's work quite a bit and therefore gravitate to this type of work, although do find Zareh's personal style to be overshadowed by the similarities to Miro's body of work. I enjoy Zareh's pen and ink, or pencil portraits. They have a dark quality to them, and a painful abstraction that seems to pull parts of the face into unusual darkness or distort the face; similar to Francis Bacon.
This is a good lesson for all young artists struggling to sell work or get known, post of craigslist with every chance you have. Post in your location, and other locations around the country. I average 15-30 hits per post, some far less and some far more. More people will be exposed to your work, and you may meet some collectors or other artists. I have only sold a few things off of craigslist, but often someone may see my craislist posting and eventually run into them at some other event or art show and there are already familiar with me, and my work. It is a good ice breaker. If you want a list of other great tips for young artists make sure to read 10 websites all artists should be on.
Enjoy Zareh's art.
