I finally caved and started selling on a third-party website called Redbubble.
As you may have seen, I have been posting random items including my art on social media that I have never sold before. Car stickers, metal prints, posters for a fraction of the price, shower curtains, clocks to socks and so much more. The reason behind this new approach is to effectively get my art out there through a different medium and at more affordable prices. I am not giving up the website and the shop on here though. This is staying because the designs on here are different and of a higher quality in regards to print and the costs reflect that. I don’t want to take that option away, but the option for a cheaper version, a more affordable version, is the core value of my business.
Redbubble is a global shop for Artists to get their designs out there and they take copyright seriously which I believe is an excellent trait. Turns out Volkswagen and BMW are not fans of people selling anything to do with them which is pretty pants. Still for sale on my site though. I did manage to sneak a few on there haha. Still though, the more exposure to this new sales platform, the more they promote you and the more sales.
If you’re able to and want to support my little business, I would love you to check out my shop and give me a follow, like some of my stuff. You do have to sign up to the site which is a bit like Etsy and Not on the High Street.

I am going to do a big order of the car stickers to sell at the car shows as they are actually really cool. I also like the idea of the metal prints that you can buy. T-Shirts are cheaper than my usual provider and they actually have more choice, like V-Necks which are surprisingly hard to buy with custom prints on. The Tri-Blend shirts are my preferred ones. There is some random stuff on the site that you can buy like Coasters and Mouse Mats which is quite funny but still pretty cool. You can now buy framed prints too which is a great addition to my Art Shop.
Thank you for reading this and supporting me in this new journey 🙂
