Cool site for artists to turn their work into prints, etc., for sale

[tblue37]

My daughter has begun uploading her paintings and drawings onto a site where artists can have them turned into on demand prints, posters, T-shirts, mugs, etc. and collect royalties on the sales.

(She has a variety of cool paintings and one charcoal drawing of a tiger uploaded already.)

Anyway, if any of you are artists, you might want to check this site out. (I was thinking of the DUer who created that extraordinary painting of Obama.)

Here is the link to my daughter's portfolio (what she has uploaded thus far. She has a lot of other work to put up still.) She is a self-taught amateur. I like her work, but I am her mom. What do you think of it?

My favorite is the large painting she did of a market she visited in Kenya during two weeks in Africa a couple of years ago. Another fairly large painting, the one of the Iris Trad, was based on a sketch she made in a pub in Dublin while she was there as a Fulbright Fellow in the 2005-2006 school year.

1. So how about it? Are any of you artists? Are you going to use this site,

do you think?

2. Your daughter's work is excellent!

:D

I know of Zazzle, but like with Cafepress, I have no immediate use for it. I do some photography, but my main 'art' focus is on writing.

You might try the Artist section of the site to get more input, though:

we can mutually oooh and ahhh over our daughters' work.
How old is yours?
Mine is 24 and mostly self taught but had a great art teacher in school and has taken a few painting classes.

5. My daughter is 27. She is a first-year resident in emergency medicine.

She took third year off from med school to do her Fulbright Fellowship in Ireland, and then finished medical school just last May. But she is into so many different things. The advanced degree she took in Ireland was in social policy. And she is a musician and a marathon runner, too.

BTW, I love your daughter's work. She should definitely sell prints.

6. she is really a multi faceted person isn't she? I know you are proud of her! nt

4. Cool!

Red Bubble is a good one too, if she wants to look into it. She is definitely very talented!

I've never really bothered to try and sell any of my art.
