Print on demand - Redbubble

Recently, I came across an Australian Print on demand service called redbubble. At first, I thought it was a sight only for graphite drawings since that was the search term that I used to find the site. However, after foolishly under some confusion managed to send a support request to the site admins asking if I should join the site - I realised that it was a whole lot more than just graphite. It turned out that this is a print on demand service where members of the public can purchase artwork and have it delivered in various forms.

• on canvas
• on a tee shirt
• framed
• as cards...

Member artists get the freedom to concentrate on their art and leave the mechanics of the sale to the printing house. They charge a deterministic flat fee for various categories of sizes and medium. This leaves the artist the ability to apply a markup without encuring further costs - no commision or percentage on sale etc. That's nice.

I joined the site, and found that the graphite artists were in only one of hundreds of specialist groups. So I also joined that using "spooks-art" as a handle.

Being the conservative sort, I'm doing further due diligence to, looking for independent reviews and so far things look pretty good! The site was originally Australia only, but now it is international.

I think I'll read up on it some more, and maybe start uploading some merchandise for sale.
