Hi! I really enjoy stores like Daddy and the Muscle Academy (Bangkok), miniSUPER Sticker Club (online), and MADBACON (Bangkok) etc that curate and sell independent art and trinkets by artists like sticker sets, zines, small art prints, keychains, and other stationery goods. I would like to start a small online business focused on featuring artists in my region, hosted on Instagram to start with as I expect this is a pretty niche market and I won't have many customers. My question is specifically about sourcing these goods from artists. Do I just reach out to them via email or whatever, state my purpose, and ask if they sell their work in bulk? Thank you.
