What a motivational article. Thanks for writing that. As artists at one time or another everyone needs the push. Spoonflower, someone mentioned, is basically fabric but there is a lot you can do with it. Make products from fabric with your designs on them. I am going to finish my Zazzle store. Thanks to you!

Great article and wonderful motivation. Spoonflower is good for other types of things – fabric is its base I believe. You can do wondrous things with it. THANKS AGAIN….

Mike – thank you for your email. I’d be happy to help in whatever way I can. My email is bill@billtoonshere.com or if social sites are better, I’m on Facebook (Bill Abbott Cartoons) or Twitter @abbottcartoons.

Dear Mr. Abbott:
My name is Mike Filippello. I’m an Artist, Illustrator and published Author. I have a zazzle store with some designs that I created called “The Scrollington Series” they are kind of a mix of my folk art with a unique twist on the design with scrolls incorporated with them. I have a fb fan page for them and I am on Linked In. I have a twitter but recently been having trouble with twitter because I keep getting hacked and so I have decided not to continue (at least for now) with Twitter because of that reason. I was wondering if you could look at my store on zazzle and give me some advice on how to continue because it’s just “there” …I will say that my fb pages don’t do anything for me at all with regards to this kind of thing… I don’t know what it is but the support just isn’t there for my store. I have been online for a long time and my art gallery at http://www.artwanted.com/mikefilippello has had more than 300,000 hits.. but few sales. I really want to do this t-shirt store/etc but I am at a loss.. I hope that you can look at my online zazzle store and maybe advise me from there. I appreciate your time.
Thank You So Much:
Sincerely:
Mike Filippello

Thank you Richard – I’m glad you found the article useful, and best of luck as you re-explore the print-on-demand sites. Over time, I think you’ll find they’ll pay off.

Hi David – I’d taken look at Spoonflower some time ago but haven’t had the time to really do much with it. I’m confident there are other cartoonists on there and I’d be interested in hearing about their experiences with that site.

Hi Bill,
What a great article!
I did dabble with Cafe Press and Zazzle without any success – so I gave it up as a bad job. If only I had read this a few years ago I would have persevered.
It is time I had another look at it – and at the forums to get motivated by other artists successes.
Best wishes,
Richard

I should have mentioned that I followed the link from your post on the Art of Licensing group on LinkedIn.
