In times when you are 💗 sad, happy, broken, fulfilled, challenged, content, overwhelmed, peaceful, bored, excited, shameful, virtuous, annoyed, grateful... 💗 all the time, no matter what, 💗 You Are Enough! Make it a HAPPY day! This year I have been spending a lot of time figuring out how and putting my artwork on products. And, WOW! I have learned SO much! Because many people have asked how I am doing it, I thought that I would share details about this process. How I am putting my artwork on products: There are a variety of ways to get artwork on products. I am currently using Print On Demand (POD) companies. POD allows me to sell my custom designs on various different types of products, such as mugs, t-shirts, phone cases (and more) and the POD company does all the printing and fulfillment. The two POD companies I use are Printful and Redbubble.
My future plans are to also licensing my artwork - which is another way to get artwork onto products. What I do with the Original Artwork to make it work for POD platforms: Because I create my artwork by hand, and not digitally, I have to turn the original piece into a digital file. Here's how I do that: SCANNING
PHOTOSHOP EDITING
DIGITAL FILES
Tips about uploading artwork to POD platforms All POD platforms ask you to upload your file to get your artwork onto products. However, each platform does this differently, so I am not going to go into much detail, but here are a few tips that I have learned thus far.
I know that there is a bunch more that I could share about POD and putting artwork on products... but this feels like a lot. If you have any questions, comment below and I'll be sure to answer them in another post. THANKS! Make it a HAPPY day!
