The wealth of options for presenting your art is nearly limitless. There are stores which will create prints for you on metal. On canvas. You can get mugs. T-shirts. Tote bags. Note cards. Christmas cards. Necklaces. The possibilities are mind-bogglingly fun. This 100-page book steps you through the three main tasks involved in having your art showcased on an item of merchandise. These are: - Creating a clear photograph of your artwork, if it is not already a photograph. - Moving that photograph onto a computer where it is prepared for use. - Using an online service such as FineArtAmerica.com or CafePress.com to design various merchandise options using that final image. This book will walk you through each step of that process. Let's get started! All author's proceeds from sales of this book support childhood art programs.
