![]() ![]() If you’ve yet to get your feet wet making wearable art, I’d recommend any one of those five companies as a great place to start. New designs are chosen for print each week, and (here’s where the “make it big” part comes in) the winning artists are paid handsome royalties and their design is worn all over the world. You submit your idea and wait while the threadless community scores each design. Threadless is a platform that sells designs submitted by makers and artists. If your design is chosen, you’ll get up to $250 up-front, and $1 for every pair sold.Ĭonsidering that these guys were picked up by Nordstrom and are in hundreds of retail stores as well as online, this is a great way to compete for exposure and maybe even earn some extra revenue! 5. BucketFeetīucketFeet is a curated platform, where anyone can submit their artwork to be printed on a variety of shoes (it’s actually really cool!)

Zazzle uses sophisticated technology to print artist designs on a large variety of products from Iphone cases, to bags, watches, water bottles and hundreds more. Want to learn more?

So if the base cost for a specific size of art print was $4, you could choose to mark up the price to $6, or $20, or whatever you like. They don’t charge artist fees or commissions instead, for each product Redbubble offers, they set a base price (covering the cost of manufacturing) and allow you to set the retail price. Redbubble is an online gallery for artists that works a little differently compared to your typical art gallery. ![]() Maybe you won’t get rich, but a little extra cash doesn’t hurt! 2. Tote bags and t-shirts will get you $1.80. Society6 pays a predefined rate to artists for any goods that sell-and the fulfilment and shipping is all handled through them, so it’s a pretty sweet deal.

In fact, entire companies now exist simply to work with artists to provide unique fashion products for consumers (and provide extra revenue for artists, too!)
