Digital on Etsy...

For the time being I am keeping the things I create completely on the computer separate from  my regular store, so that those thinking they are getting the normal hand drawn art aren't confused. I have added a set or two to my Etsy store. These are all created on the computer, they start out as a sketch but that's about all the drawing by hand there is for these little guys. 300 dpi png files...

The cupcakes were originally a digi but I have recreated them in illustrator...

Finally a Freebie...Digitizers Please read...

Finally a freebie...Getting back on track, adding freebie on Wednesdays and catching up monthly art stuff...

Black N White

And Colored

 

Digitizers....

For those wanting to Digitize my art and sell the Embroidery files or products made with my art I am starting to sell those files in a section on my site labeled "Embroidery". Purchasing a file there gives you the rights to digitize the file and sell a version compatible with embroidery machines, or you may digitize at home and make products to sell as well. I still retain all the rights to my art. IF the art is not in the Embroidery section it may NOT be digitized and sold. Also these are not exclusive licenses, I am selling the rights to more than one person, So if it's really important to you to be the first one to digitize my stuff and get it out there before the others keep an eye on my site and my blog...I am starting with my Christmas in July stuff, adding them as they are ready to go...Also I am selling the files for $5 dollars per image, this gets you the image and the permission to digitize, this is a trial basis price, the price could change at any time. 

If there is art not in the embroidery section you'd like to use please let me know. I just might have not gotten to it, OR it might not be available for digitizing

Busy, Busy, busy...

With only 12 days til my 10 month vacation starts (school will be in) I have had a lot going on here in the past few weeks. I had a 15 page book to illustrate and a 10 page one as well that I am working on right now. I am finishing July (yes I got a little behind ) and working on August as well. I will have some new stuff a little later on and just a friendly reminder for those placing orders on my site. When you place an order there should be an email sent instantly with the links to your downloads. Sometimes the email is lost, other times it gets rejected by your provider, IF this is the case and you don't receive an email ALL orders are listed under your "order history" which can be found by logging in on my site with your info and download away. ALSO... the links expire in 72 hrs, IF you don't get to the download before then just send me an email and I will reset the link. And lastly I try to answer emails the same day, sometimes the next day atleast but I do have other things going on besides constantly sitting at my computer. So please be patient with email answers...
