    A little question.

     

    If you had an (online) art shop, what kinda stuff would you sell? (Like, calendars, posters etc.)

    I'm curious.

    Probably lots of weird stuff like watercolor bookmarks, handmade books and small trinkets, as well as found object art- maybe even some origami roses/paper roses and such. A lot of my work is conceptual and more craft than drawing.

    My first thought when I read ART SHOP was art supply store. But I figured out you meant  a personal art store. ( me smart ) ha ha.

     

    Ok Me personally I'd  do Commission work, Posters, postcards, book covers, Playing cards, tarot decks, and of course T-SHIRTS. Which I I just started doing. Ask Cruffins how she likes her's.  Here is my Thread http://www.paperdemon.com/forums/viewtopic.php/2308.html

    What I would suggest is you look and see the things that you would buy. And start with this, then open a suggestion box and see what else people want most.

    I would sell anything people were willing to plunk down money for. ;)

    I myself would love some puzzles of my work, to give as gifts.

    You could start with Cafepress. Its print on demand so you don't have to pay for a bunch of merch and then panic to sell it all. so its good for starting out. If that takes off, move onto printing your merch in bulk and then selling it to get more profit.

    Thanks BogusRed. :)

     

    Another thing is bothering me though - selling stuff like this is pretty much illegal in Sweden, where I live. :/ It's not like I'm going to earn a fortune off of it, but I do have to start my own company and register it and shit in order to sell things. u_u; Do you guys have to do that too?

    Oh, and is it illegal to sell fanart through a registered company...? Won't there be a twist of copyright infringment and shit, then?
