Are there any artists viewing this who sell their art as prints?

I am an artist (but make my living as a landscape designer) who wants to not starve. I have sold some of my work,and had tons of people who want to buy my work.But, each painting takes me a ridiculous amount of time as I am a perfectionist when I paint, and I get very attached to each piece.I would rather get a limited number of reproductions made (lithographs,seriographs,) and sell them.It is very expensive to have art reproduced. But the big art publishers obviously pay for the printing of the artists whom they represent (bruce mcgraw,etc) How do you get them to pick you up? Are there agents for artists just like other creative folks? If anyone knows I would love to hear from you .
