Thinking about doing the same myself.
Try and get invited to do group shows with artist that have similar styles as you build up your work.
Join art studio collectives in your city.
Approach galleries after you've built up some solid work. Make sure said galleries would be receptive to your art. Meaning they represent similar stuff. Most galleries have a set style they usually represent.
- most galleries do not have a set style.fadein11
- Style might be the wrong word to use. But the gist is make sure your work is appropriate and relevant to the typical work they sell.Complexfruit

Your design and photography is decent, the paintings seem totally different and that's not necessarily a good things. Don't want to put you down man, but you have three categories on your site and they don't really connect.

To be honest though, your paintings are kind of messy / amateur Rauschenbergs.
Do you spend a lot of time on them? Are they meaningful to you?

You could rent your an empty storefront for a weekend and put on a show and invite everyone you know and hope others come.
Approach a shop you like and ask if you can hang paintings in there, maybe sell on consignment.
Invite a gallery to your studio.
Make friends with rich people.
Go to NY and sleep at MoMA like Tilda Swinton.

Advice #3 - paint "famous people"... and "pop icons"... develop a following... hahahaaaa... The trendier the better! There is the secret to life as an artist, go fourth... People like cute animals too... ;)
- Or just do amazing/innovative work and let the masses come to you ;)cirquemedia
