On your website everything I stated applies. Art buyers do want to see you and on your site there is plenty of room for images of you as well as your art.<br><br>And that makes me think of your Gravatar icon...and then the question to ask yourself is "what are you most needing to "Brand"? - Yourself or your art? What is it that you customer is buying? With purchasing art, the customer doesn't usually feel the need to like you but it certainly can close the sale if they are able to see you on your site. I'd say stick with the art image for your Gravatar (as you currently have), particularly if you have a primary product like Boston Terrier pillows - that's a very specific niche and therefore easiest to brand and market. The good thing about digital marketing is that you can change the image at anytime! Good luck! Great question. On your website everything I stated applies.
