I have a couple pieces of my art posted to my portfolio. I am thinking of having a book of my art published. It will have my art on one page, and opposite of it will be interpretations of it from multiple different people. But because of who I am going with to publish it, I would have to charge at least $30 a book to get any profit. 20 pages, thats 10 pictures, for 30 dollars. Do you think it will sell?
Another thing I could do is add some of my poetry to the book. I could match my poem to a picture and get interpretations on them both. Or do a half picture half poem thing.
I want to go to some kind of gothic, vampiric, etc themed clubs, bars, socal meetups, etc. But I dont really know where many are. I looked it up and saw these locations just on one website-

But I dont have a car, and my boyfriend isnt going to want to go to any of thoes, mainy because of the distance but also because he isnt much of a social type. I'm not much on the social side either, but I'd like to dress up and get out of the house sometimes. The only one I might get him to go to is the one in Fresno, but its a 4 hour club that is only open 2 days a month. So chances seem slim that we would be able to go, especially with work in the morning, and if we were it sounds kind of lame. Obviousely it isnt popular or it would be open longer and on more days.
I believe there is great power to be found in dreams. But, sadly, I often forget my dreams before even waking, so I havnt had much chance to unravel the meaning of my dreams.
Last night tho, I had two dreams!
-I'm living with my grandparents. Getting ready for, I think I'm a sophmore or Junior, thinking about my grandma telling me that I have to start going to school. Then my thoughts change to a friend I was talking to just [dream] days earlier. She was telling me that she believes her body is mostly water and why, not air like scientists think. A scientist happens to overhear us and joins in, basicly saying she is stupid because she doesnt agree with common science. I cant remember the words I used, but I told him that science is flawed and sometimes you have to listen to others so you can better understand your own findings. It made him think. Then I was at the corner about a block away from my grandparents house and realize I havnt learned the way to school yet. Then I remember that it is Wednesday and I always go to work with my grandpa on Wednesdays, so I turn around and start walking back.
- I live in an apartment building with at least 2 floors. My apartment, with my mom, is the first unit on the second floor. I get home to find my mom standing in front of the door looking at the spare keys. The door had two locks, the knob and bolt. One of the spares was on the front of the door, the other on the wall next to it. They were somehow unable to move without me or my mom to remove them from the spot, I dont know how it worked. My mom was standing there because when she got home she saw that the keys were broken. Someone took the blade part off both keys so to go in and rob us. I remember, in my dream, picturing the living room as someone is breaking in, it was night time and my mom and I were asleep. I think that (in my dream) I was robbed the night before while asleep. But we didnt find out till the next afternoon when my mom and I came home. Then we walked inside (the door left open) and started talking about what to do now. Just then my friend (exbf in real life, new crush in dream) was walking past, he lived in the first floor so I dont know why he was up there. I called him over to us. I dont know what I was going to say to him or what exactly I wanted him to do, I just thought that he would somehow make us more safe.

I do wish you the best in this endeavour,but 30$ is a bit steep,yes.Top end books of that nature sell for 30$ to 75$,and thats for known artists.But I wouldnt let it deter you.
