Yeah, card gnome...The designs I have on there I've actually already sold once before and the rights reverted back to me. So, I put them up there to just try and squeeze a few more dollars out of them. It's not the ideal site to sell your new designs on. I'm still only starting out there so not sure yet how well it will do. When I sell my designs direct to a card publisher I get between $300.00 and $600.00 US which is not that great but you can work out terms most of the time for either some kind of royalty or to just sell them the rights for greeting cards only so you can sell that image again for something else.
I've had pretty good luck on Zazzle and Society6 selling a few coffee mugs and prints
. I think surface design at least here in the US is really taking off that being designs for cloth, wall papers, and to cover products. There's a lot of money there right now so I'm trying to transition over to that sort of thing. The problem with that being that a lot of designs that sell, you or I wouldn't even consider real art. It's a lot of people that can't really draw very well selling what's considered to be trendy....I look at it and think that I was drawing stuff like that in 1st grade and I can't believe people pay for it....um anyway.. I'm going to try and do a few designs and see how it goes.
