I like to do pen and ink drawings. I love the control and detail. I drive myself crazy by taking water color lessons for 10 years. :)

I would like to sell some prints of my drawings, but I have no idea how to make prints of my art. Can anyone send me any info on this? Links or an art website, . . .

The drawing below is Nepenthes for a friend of mine. I call my drawings "nonsensical", and I love to see what others see in the drawings. I put in depictions of animals, but then people see others like a sea urchin in this one.

I drew in a gecko, a bird, an owl, a raccoon, . . . a Nepenthes pitcher, a moon, a tree, many eyes, . . . I use metallic and shiny colors, and they do not photocopy or photograph well. Is there a printing technique that would reproduce the metallic colors? Otherwise I would hand color in the prints. Thank you. :)
