I decided to make a redbubble account. This is because I liked the idea of putting my artwork onto products but I simply do not have the funds to push into making my own merch at the moment, so at this time it's a cost effective way of getting my work onto products. So far I have been enjoying it, the site allows you to customise different products with your design and create collections of stuff. At first I just put up an old pattern that I had made for the crispin orthotics brief in responsive, to see how it worked and how things look. I ended up really loving seeing my stuff on products so I decided to put up more designs, and will also continue seeing how I can adapt designs for products (as not everything is as straightforward as slapping it on a product, you have to make the background transparent and crop the image etc.)
Anyway, I'm having fun with it and enjoying the experience. The site allows you to add tags to your work so people can find it while browsing or searching for something general. In a way this could aid exposure of my work, I'm unsure how likely that is but we'll see.
