  • I had forgotten I wrote a little something in 2007 about where to sell and buy your art online. Updated to express any changes in sites I currently sell on or use to print my art.

    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.

    TeePublic – Free to upload your art to sell on tees, stickers, buttons, magnets and more.

    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 $50 or more. Minimum earned per card is usually around 10 cents a sale.

    Redbubble – No limit on designs. Lots of options with stickers, tees and more. There may be some tiers that are fee based currently.

    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.

  • The holidays will soon be upon us.

    Hoping everyone will have a very Merry and Happy holiday!

  • So, I have been lax in updating this thing when I keep promising I will. In the meantime, I have created some new art that has been posted here and there throughout my many web shops online such as Redbubble, Society 6, Threadless, and mostly Zazzle.

    The gist of my current art has been mainly penguins, as my title suggests. Penguins doing all sorts of different roles, functions and the like. Call it a mania of sorts but one I subscribe to sanely enough since I love penguins.

  • Long time no type. I just haven’t been feeling very “chatty” for a blog. I guess there’s just so much stuff online to keep up with and I forgot how many sites I truly have become a part of to keep it very organized anymore.

    I do have lots of new items available from my sites. You can visit them through my newly created “Linktree” with the QR code or link: https://linktr.ee/elledeegee

  • In this age of Covid-19 / Coronavirus I’ve had to come to a new way of doing things. Face masks are definitely a deterrent to what is being spread (and annoying as heck during a Texas summer) but why wear a boring one when you can get one with custom designs or cute and funny artwork?

    I actually bought one of my own mask designs from Zazzle. My only complaint is that the elastic bands on the side are way too tight to be comfortable. I ended up having to cut one of my scrunchies for my hair and use that as the added “elastic” to help keep the mask on w/o making it tight and uncomfortable. Worked better than I imagined.

    The nice thing about the Zazzle masks (haven’t bought from any of my other sites like Redbubble yet) is that they have the extra pocket to place either a filter (if you have those in your possession), a paper mask, or as some have said a “folded up paper towel.” Apparently the latter is supposed to help filter particulates out… don’t quote me on it. Do the research but I’ve seen enough places online quoting that paper towels (thicker ones like Bounty or blue shop towels for mechanics and the like) do the trick of a handy filter. You can also roll one up along the nose area (if you don’t have a nose guard) and it does help a bit with the fogging up of glasses issue if you wear glasses like I do. I think it just makes that part of my mask and face more sweaty.

    So here are some of my masks if you’re looking to support an artist looking for an in to the art world:
