There are a few shops in an indoor Goth market near where I work that sell the kind of things you do.

There's a shop where a few art students collaborate to make and sell a (pretty good, funny) comic, another where an old lady tatooist and two younger dudes, all with very different styles sell customised cards and all they've got is a few examples of their work and a mobile number for someone to text or call with a description.

I think if you know a few other people who also draw, you could probably produce your own work to sell,

Or you could find a few related podcasts to send your work to either to advertise and participate in their work. I remember hearing a reference to such a podcast in the ipm podcast from radio 4.

Then again if you really want to go through publishers i'd start with the ones that publish sf and fantasy books so you can write in to try and do a few book covers. I hear there's good bucks in that.

Of course if you're going to write to local papers i think it'd probably be worth it to just go on a campaign, spend £500 just sending your stuff to ALL the local papers in England to begin with, and then perhaps to relevant places in Canada, America, Australia… and just make your way down all the english speaking countries.

Might as well think big: why not? I definitely think it's worth it.

Also if you write to the guys in Forbidden Planet down in London and up in Liverpool (or pop round to their shops to see the stuff, it's a revelation man!). It's a nice informal place with decent guys at both stores. They'll probably have a few pointers for you.
