Art Work I’ve produced so far (Constructive Criticism encouraged)

You would be better off aiming higher than coffee shops. I would check out the high end Painting shops and see if they will do a feature display for you. They do sales on commission

Stick to doing minimum numbers, people like to collect sets

I would have to disagree with that, you might be surprised just how well it can work & you want your work seen by as many people as possible so having something hanging on a wall in a coffee shop is just one way to get noticed, I wouldn't for one minute suggest it is the only way to display your work as the other ideas already mentioned have merit as well.

I have a friend who does cartoon strip art. He used to hang his work in coffee shops, furniture shops. All he was ever offered was coffee shop prices. He approached a shop up in stow on the wolds. He sold less pieces but 50 x the price of a coffee. He also found that it was repeat customers who kept going back for more. That is the only reason i suggested it.

Have you thought of trying Forsyths in Lytham?

I agree with you about displaying work in high end places that are known for this sort of thing all I was saying was I thought it was wrong to dismiss the coffee shops, all the stuff on the walls round here has a price on it so no being offered silly money & the prices do vary from ridiculously cheap as your friend obviously experienced to what I would call expensive for what it is but then I know nothing about art lol
Worth popping in to a couple of places just to see what others are doing in my opinion as well as targeting high end shops & galleries especially for someone who is unknown as an artist just now.
