Need business-minded advice about specializing in 2 artistic mediums
December 12, 2014 8:32 AM Subscribe
I do both analogue photography and watercolor paintings; very different mediums!
I have a webpage for my photography which currently has a menu tab for my artwork, though it doesn't fit in at all with my photography or the theme of the webpage.
Should I make a separate webpage for my artwork?
I also sell my photography on Etsy, and would like to start selling art prints.
Should I make a separate Etsy shop for my artwork?
Pros and cons of keeping 2 different mediums of work together vs. separating them?
Opinions or anything else I should consider?
I think it would be easier for you to have one Etsy shop rather than two, in terms of time spent and recordkeeping. (I'm not on Etsy, so this is just a guess). Perhaps you could link your shop from both of two separate webpages. That way they can be conceptually separate but financially together.

I would make separate Etsy shops, though, since I think Etsy is more brand-sensitive and you may not reach your separate markets as well with one catch-all Etsy shop.
