I think you should try to have a book of your productions and your story, published by a major publishing firm like Phaidon, for instance. That sort of firm will pay you for the rights to use your art in creating a book about you. I don't know in what part of the world you reside. I live about a seven hour drive to New York City, where I brought my portfolio to some major publishers and landed a job illustrating a children's book through what was then Holt,Rinehart and Winston (now Henry Holt and Company, I believe) quite a long time ago. I am not into painting other people's ideas. Right now I am working to tell the psychological story of my life.

I have pretty good taste regarding one's quality of artwork and I think your images are phenomenal. Do you have your work on a disc(s)? Please check out art books you like and find who published them. It is best if you can make appointments with these publishers and show up in person to present your productions. You may want to start outlining your life's story

fascinating ideas and amazing how one thing needs to another. if its okay i call u cynthia  . in this part of the world where i live is so backwards and i probably the only zimbabwean on da . i could put together a book of personal biography or a book on personal issues regarding my beliefs on this planet earth . it would cost money one and maybe no get sold only to yu lol . am keen on doing commisioned work if anyone need s. i can aslo paint as once was a mural artist i can paint in oils any of my picture done digitally to perhaps an 90 percent perfection to the digital media by hand . problem is most ot my works in oils and must be large at least 1.5m x 1.5 m etres . the time it would take to do one i would have to charge a very high fee and i doubt it will sell unless someone asks for one . the last time i picked up a brush was in 98 . its in the blood can never forget its the financial day to day life that one has to deal with and that landed me in to interior design which produce in 3d format digital to clients . its okay i like it but would love it if it was art i would drop the interiors with a flash

Hey,

don't worry about commissioned oil paintings. To me, your gallery is such a mind blower that it should be seen and appreciated while you are still alive, and I have been around the block enough times to know.

Just a little side track, I met and became an endearing friend of Francesca Woodman while spending time at an art college in Rhode Island. She produced many, many photographic images before she ended her life, at the age of twenty two years, by jumping from her building in NYC.  Google her name online.  I am so very grateful that she gave to me some of her photographs and sent post cards as well. She has become a Guardian Angel to me.

From all the images I have seen so far on DA yours is my superlative favorite

Cynthia
