When you first started selling your art in booths at conventions, how many copies of pictures did you print out, what sizes, and how much did your price them at?
I'm considering doing the same for myself, and I was basically hoping you could give me any advice at all.

Heya!
For the copies, it really depends on how many cons you wanna sell at/the popularity of the image! If you're only doing one con, 5-10 prints per image would be good. Usually whenever I re-order a print I'll order 10-30 at a time depending on its popularity and how big my next few conventions will be (I sell at them full time, mind you). However, don't beat yourself up if you have some left over. Prints don't spoil, so they'll sell eventually! Opening up an Etsy shop will help get rid of any extra stock. List them one at a time so you're not paying for a lot of the listing fees up front for prints that "might" not sell. I pay $0.20 each per listing.
I print all of my larges at 11"x17", which is considered tabloid size. They offer frames in this size at wal-mart, hobby lobby, and I think target?
I sell my prints for $15 each, and the paper type is light card stock gloss.
I hope this helps!
