It's always nice to make some sales. I've sold two original pieces of art this weekend. I sold a Peep at Paradise, which is largely a study in negative art, where the background spaces rather than the objects (in this case the florals) are painted. I also sold Lace Wings, an abstract watercolour and ink collage which is packed with pink vibrancy and texture.

The latest additions to my Simply Design, Art shop is some digital art that was designed using Affinity Photo (similar to Photoshop). They look great on canvas wall hangings and cushion covers. They include verses from Psalm 89. They're also available on clocks, mugs, iPad and laptop skins and much more. Here's the design - Rusty 1, Rusty 2 and Rusty 3 Rusty 1Rusty 2Rusty 3
I've recently added a new design to my shop - New Heights. Here it is adorning a cushion cover - the one in the middle with grey and brown swirls. It's also on mugs, laptop skins, camera covers, iPad covers, clothing, bags and more, It was actually one of my painted watercolour landscapes that I manipulated in the Affinity Photo program and ended up with this. I love the relaxing cool colours.
Simply Design Art galleries have just been updated. It's ages since they were last updated so hope you enjoy browsing through the new additions. I'm planning on adding more designs to the Red Bubble shop - mainly the new scans that have just been uploaded to the gallery. Looks like fun!!
Check out the latest design. A group of us were discussing the shortness of life in the light of eternity. It was a bit of a wake up call!! I decided that just the word 'Eternity' would make a great t-shirt. They are now available in Simply Design Art's Redbubble shop. Here's a range of some of the t-shirts and tops but they come in additional colours. There is also a range of other products available, 44 in total, with the same simple text.
I love this design. I just sold the original at an art exhibition in Victor Harbor, South Australia. So pleased the design continues as a print in the Simply Design Art, Redbubble shop. Here's some of the items that showcase the art.
I've just uploaded some birthday cards to the Simply Design Art Shop on Redbubble. The fill is from one of my watercolours of a fig tree with figs and leaves. I used a scan of the painted artwork to fill the shapes and provide a graded background.. I thought they were just so cute - what do you reckon? It's amazing what you can do with Affinity Designer.
It's been open for a week or two now. Watercolor and digital art has been unloaded and there must be 200-300 items in the shop. A number of sales have happened from both Australia and America - six t-shirts in total. That's encouraging!! Below is a slideshow showcasing a few of the items that are for sale. I've just discovered Redbubble. It's a platform I thought I could only dream about. I'm just so impressed by the potential. They started in Melbourne in 2006 and are now a global community. Simply Design Art is now part of that community. We've just opened a Redbubble shop.
It's an amazing platform for all artists and designers. They started in Melbourne in 2006 and are expanding at 40-50 percent each year. They currently have 400,000 independent artists and designers using their platform to generate sales of their art on stationery, clothing, wall art, home decor, mugs, bags, clocks and gifts, skins and cases for phones, laptops and iPads. It's exactly what I was looking for. There are already a lot of gift ideas in Simply Design Redbubble shop and there's more coming. |
