matchu, I wouldn't be surprised if The Epilepsy Foundation" and/or other organizations hold fairs bringing awareness to the public by displaying works of art for sale. I belonged to a DID Organization where fairs are held every year. Members works were sold there. Gratifying experience for both the artist and the buyer.

You might not make bundles of money, but you'd be spreading awarenss that people with Epilepsy can actually use their hands. That they're not "shaking" all the time!

Perhaps, someone will discover you! That is always a possibility. I think your paintings are one of a kind! If I had the money, I'd buy one.

That's awesome! I'm an artist, and I did one of my brain exploding with pills. It was actually several painted cartoons on a big canvas. Disturbingly funny, I thought, although most people just thought it was disturbing. I wish I had thought of that one, but everyone's different.

I am working on that Cinnabar! I am in the earliest stages of getting an art gala to raise awareness and money for a 501c3 foundation! So keep the art coming...
