Fractallicious Designs Now at Zazzle

About a week ago, I posted that my Fractallicious fractal art designs were now available as fine art prints through RedBubble. Now, I'm pleased to report that you can buy my artwork printed on merchandise too. I have set up a Zazzle store for Fractalllicious, where you can buy these lively images printed on everything from buttons, magnets, and mousepads to t-shirts, ties, even shoes.

Most products ship within 24 hours, and Zazzle provides international mirror sites so you can shop in your own country in your own currency. They also feature regular promotions. Right now, they're offering 15% off stickers, with the coupon code STICKERSALE1, 12% off prints and posters with the coupon code POSTERSALE12, 12% off t-shirts with the coupon code TSHIRTSALE12, and 10% off iPhone and iPad skins with the coupon code SPRINGCASE10. These offers are valid through July 1, 2011.

Whether you're shopping for yourself, a friend, or you're just curious, drop by and have a look.

Fractallicious Art Now at RedBubble

After a long absence teaching English overseas, I'm back creating fractal art and I've found a promising new venue for selling my work online.

I have sold my work through microstock sites, and still license it (for commercial use) through Fractallicious, but I have never found a satisfactory print on demand solution. After a disappointing experience with CafePress (standing out in the hordes of mediocre merchandise was a challenge), I was a little gun-shy about print on demand, but I thought I'd give RedBubble a try nevertheless.

I am extremely impressed by the quality and originality of the art and photography to be found at this site. It is much more oriented to serious artists than sites like CafePress and Zazzle. The site is easy to use, for both buyers and sellers. It's a snap to upload your work and create a listing, and the site offers various widgets for cross-promotion through Facebook and Twitter, etc. Artwork can be printed on a variety of product types, from fine art to t-shirts. You set a base price, and they handle printing and fulfillment.

I have just finished setting up a store at RedBubble, where you can buy my fractal art printed on a variety of products, from fine art prints to greeting cards, t-shirts, and stickers. Among the products available are several rainbow images that are great for Pride fund-raising and gay and lesbian events.

Whether you're an artist looking to sell, or someone seeking a distinctive fine art print, drop by and have a look.
