I have a project in mind around exactly that same idea but I've
been researching 4 gig - 8 gig
thumb drive prices and the cheapest you can
buy them is around $7-$8 each.
What do you sell it for to make it worth
it's while? I'd say at least $20 but I honestly
think that
won't float in this economy.
Another approach is the approach being
taken by Steve Wilson, the leader of
Porcupine Tree where he invests in the
artwork of a really nicely done project
and sells it all as an 'object
d-art'.
It works for him because
1) he's built a following up
for years and years
2) he has the money to invest in the first
place
3) he lives with his parents who support him in lots of
ways
Still, I've decide that's going to be my
approach..........merely because I want to create
art , even if it is
modest art. This next year of my life I"m finally going to have the time
and
energy to finish several projects that have been gestating for the past
5 years.
LOL, I"m just going to flood the world with new art and
hope somebody wants to
buy it.
