Whimsical Illustrations by LDG

  • I had forgotten I wrote a little something in 2007 about where to sell and buy your art online. I guess I should update for the sites I currently use.

    Zazzle – Still a very good place to upload and sell your art without any upfront costs. Lots of options from stickers, tees, bandanas, prints, gift bags and more. They have online options for customers to get some cards in E-format. You make a sale but a bit less than the physical cards.

    Threadless – Free to upload your art to sell on various things from tees to socks and prints. They have contests too for those who like to design. You can win some good money there. I haven’t personally won any of the contests but some of the winning designs are impressive.

    OpenPrints – I don’t hear much talk about them, and I haven’t made any sales from there but they are a free site mostly for selling prints. Would be nice if you want to buy prints affordably to sell yourself.

    Imagekind – You can sell your art on prints, framed art, canvas and greeting cards. Free to set up.

    Fine Art America / Pixels – Free to join at the basic level. Limited to about 10 to 20 free listings. Prints, canvases, greeting cards and more to add your art to.

    Greeting Card Universe – Free to join, no upfront fees. Customers send requests to site about what they want in a greeting card. It gets listed on the forum for members to see. If you want to make a design for the idea, you create it to place in your shop then add the link on the forum post, the customer gets to pick which one(s) they like and the site owners let you know if you were picked or not. Meanwhile, any card designs you make that are approved can be added to your own individual card store. You can also make custom items if someone contacts you directly. Payment is every 3 to 4 months if you make $25 or more. Minimum earned per card is usually around 10 cents a sale.

    Redbubble – Free to join. No limit on designs. Lots of options with stickers, tees and more.

    Avery – The company most recognize as making printable sheets for your printers, they have an online shop to buy your art. I took part in a promo for 10 huge stickers (6 inches I think) and they came out BEAUTIFULLY! So if you need some good custom printing, this is your place.

    I have no affiliate links for these sites unless you want to visit my personal pages to buy my art. I’d be ever so grateful. 🙂 https://linktr.ee/elledeegee

    Thanks for reading.

  • I’ve been trying to catch up on all the many sites I sell at. I’ll report on each of them as I get a significant amount of updating done. Here is this week’s gem.

    Redbubble is a great place to buy art on a variety of products including the usual Notebooks, tote bags, tees and electronic skinz / cases. They also have a few items not necessarily found in other online shops.

    Some of their unique items include: Leggings, Skirts, Stickers and Duvet covers.

  • I have a new button in my shop with a unicorn and I was looking at how much it would cost to buy several of these as compared to another site. While investigating this, I found the following shop with Rainbow Pooping Unicorn themes among others: ParadiseCity

    Figured it would make a few people smile.

    And with 4th of July on the way, here are some of my Patriotic products for your perusal:

  • Sorry I’ve been quiet.

    Not very good at this blogging thing, not that I don’t have anything to say but sometimes I just get too busy with other stuff and then I forget to blog. Bad for business if I’m not getting attention from other places like WordPress but I’m going to make an effort to change those bad habits and write as often as I can even if it’s late at night on this site.

    To start out, I have begun to post my art on BoomBoomPrints.com for the past couple of months. No sales yet but I’m still hopeful. Their social media on Twitter tweeted out a new piece I made with sushi. I’ll have to post that here when I get a snapshot. My Zazzle site is still doing well and I’ve bought a lamp with my own design, several wrapped canvases with my photos from NYC and a fleece blanket. All were of good quality. So were the phone cases and throw pillows. I love their stuff!

    I’ve been working hard on updating some of my older pieces I never posted before or hadn’t freshened up in a while. Mainly photographing the local flora and fauna around my home and work. Lots of interesting things to see. I found a humming bird nest. The momma came over and sat on some moss in a tree and when I took video and pics of her, upon watching what I had taken, I saw she was on a tiny nest hidden in the moss of a branch on a large oak. She’s so tiny and delicate and the nest isn’t much bigger. Funnily enough she was dancing around me yesterday due to my proximity (I think) to her nest. She just kept flitting around me anxiously I wish I’d been able to take video.

    Lots of pics of squirrels, mostly pregnant ones since it’s that time of year everything was nesting, feeding and awaiting babies. Plenty of momma squirrels and momma mockingbirds. I’ve seen one with her fledglings. They were play fighting and following her around my work place as they learned to fly, hunt and be fed by momma. I’ll have the post the pic I got of a momma bird with a worm in her mouth and another with the babies.

    Guess that’s it for now.
