I'm now selling prints and stuff on Redbubble!

I am now selling my artwork on prints and stuff on Redbubble!

Here's my store:

http://www.redbubble.com/people/magicalglow/shop

The username 'jpmorrow' was taken, so now I am 'magicalglow' on Redbubble. I think instead of putting up all my artwork I will only put up realistic style paintings that have a magically luminous quality to them.

Which of course means I have to do more painting!  :)

Now of course Redbubble has a minimum payment threshold of $20, which means that people can buy lots of stuff and if my share of it is less than that I don't get paid.  I can just see myself as a doddering old 90 year old, sitting there on a park bench going "oh yes I still have a Redbubble account... its got $1.38 on it... maybe if someone buys something I'll be able to draw it out!"

So what I did about that was I marked up the artist percentage on everything so I get $20 dollars no matter what people buy.  So if everything on here seems too expensive I still have my Society 6 store where I have a wider selection of art for cheaper:

Because S6 is cool like that!

I like Redbubble and see my setting up a store there as an opportunity to hone my craft as an artist and the moral of this story is that I need to do more painting!

Thanks for reading <3 :)

Another Gimmicky But Really Awesome Feature!

So Society6 which is where I am selling my prints and stuff now, has this program you can promote other artists art on your own website and you get paid a little bit every time someone buys it through your link (10% of the base price on prints).

Like, for example if you wanted to buy this kind of really awesome print of a wolf padding along at night and you bought it through this link, I would get money for it and so would the artist:

Here's the artist's store on S6:

https://society6.com/hootbark

So I think this is kind of a really awesome feature and I might consider doing more of this sort of thing, since this way I can promote stuff that I really like as opposed to regular advertisements, where it is nothing but dreck.

Thoughts or feedback appreciated.  :)

EDIT:  No, I can't get that feature to work so if you buy anything through these links I still won't get anything.  Hootbark will though, but I guess this means I won't be trying to promote anything this way.

SECOND EDIT:  No, I think it maybe it does work after all.  I dunno their website is so confusing.
