Woo. ;D That's me. xD
Anyway...
I'm don't actually know anything about prices.. cause I don't have an art shop.. and I haven't ever actually bought art before. Dx Sorry I can't help ya.. But maybe you could go through the art forum and look at the prices people put up for their art, and maybe you'll get an idea?

Hm.. And the name, I've no clue either.. Maybe have your username be in the name? xD;; Hopefully some other people will help you out on this one.

Sorry for my dumb post, I'm guessing I didn't help at all. xD

Heeeey! My sister's up there! : D
Anyway.
I think you should price your art by the hour. Like... However long you take on a picture. Let's say you took two hours on a drawing non-stop, and you charge 1k an hour, you'd charge 2k... Or maybe you could go cheaper if you don't think that's fair.

As for the shop name...
It always helps for me to write down favorites of mine in a list. Like favorite video games, clothing lines, characters, shows, etc... And then mix and match the words with others. It's fun to do sometimes. xD''
That's sorta how we came up with Orange le' Cream. >>;;

Ah... I know my post was long, but I hope I helped. D;

That's a good idea for the name, I think I'll try that.

Don't worry about the pricing, I think I have the prices I want now. ^-^
