RED BUBBLE ONLINE STORE


Yesterday a friend, who used to live here in Ashland but recently moved to the Bay Area, turned me onto a site called RedBubble. It's an online store where you can sell your art, and they do all the shipping, printing, billing, etc. A t-shirt that sells on their site gets me a twenty percent commission, which isn't much on a twenty-dollar item, but it's all about volume. I just created my storefront site this evening, and linked to it from my website, and I'm curious to see who, if anyone, wants to buy my art on a t-shirt. I made iron-on transfer t-shirts for Christmas presents this year, on organic cotton tees (something I wish RedBubble offered), and they came out great. I really like how my art looks on a t-shirt more than a print or a card. Plus, people advertise your work for you just by walking around.
