Change of Life

Part of being an artist is promoting your work, but who says we’re limited to hanging it on a wall or putting it on a pedestal? Here are some unique ideas for showing off your work. You can find plenty of sources online.

Mouse pads—Great as collector gifts to remind people that they like you and your art.

Cell phone or tablet cover—Every time you use them in public, people are going to see your art. There are even sites that will create a wallpaper to match your cell phone art so your entire device displays your art.Very cool!

Pillow covers—This could be a way to get your work into the interior design market.

Clothing—This could be anything from T-shirts to custom-made clothing.

Magnetic car sign—Drive around town and let people know who you are and what you do. Make sure you include your website address. And please, drive safely!

Licensing—License your work with decorators and designers.

Price points—Create a line of work on paper to give you another price point for your art.

Business cards—Always include your art and full contact information on your business card.

Two-sided folding screen or a hanging panel—So your art can be seen coming and going.
