Technology today can be a big pain, but it's also very clever at times. It's all about learning to use it in the right way to your advantage. I've heard about 'print on demand' sites before where, as an artist you can upload your work into an account then choose from a variety of products to have the artwork printed onto. I finally found a site that I was happy with, that suited my needs, so take a look at some of the items you can find. Once bought the item is produced and sent to the buyer by the company, which then ships worldwide (and as the artist I then get a commission, without any of the production costs).Win win!
Lifestyle Products Include
Tote bag, purses, phone covers, stationary and a lot more.
I also love to see how the products can be shown in use.
Amazing how they do it!
If there is a particular design you like, you can see the image on a range of items all at once, including homeware products such as cushions, bedding, shower curtains and more, as well as having the design printed in a range of formats too, including on canvases and tapestries, in a range sizes. Prints can be framed or unframed and of course there are a range of frames to choose from, in different colours.
The image of 'Lilac Cottage' (above) is actually a jigsaw if you look closely!
It comes boxed like this (below). For an artist to have items like this made up and then sold on is such an undertaking, so it's a marvelous concept really, that removes all of production problems to let artists do what they do best.
Stationery & Phone Covers
It's great to see how the item will look on a product before listing it, as of course some designs don't work on some products, but I love the phone cases and notebooks! You can actually see the texture of the fabric on this printed notebook.
This is 'A Hint of Meadow' on an iphone cover, but there are covers for other phones too.
Fancy a pop over to look at the new shop?
It's called 'Sharon Robins Art'.
PIXELS is the company and it's part of 'Fine Art America'.
They have shipped millions of museum quality products all over the world for thousands of artists. They have 16 manufacturing centres in 5 different countries, meaning your art will also be produced nearer to the buyer to minimize delivery costs.
So fingers crossed that my little shop might be found!
Might have to get one of these myself! 😊
