Some advice that you are welcome to completely disregard:
Migrate to digital workflows with a good stylus like XP Pen.
Create an online portfolio of low res and/or watermarked images that you can link anyone who is interested.
Develop a relationship with a quality printing service near you.
For hard copy requests, like for example someone who wanted your folder, you can have the image printed and wrapped onto a folder. This way you can tailor the medium to what the client wants.
If someone wants an exclusive piece, then just print it once and don’t add it to your portfolio.
Yes, would make more sense if you could crank out 50 units at $30 a pop than to try selling one at a high price for something that will get used and worn out.
