Wise DU members...
Does anyone know anywhere I can submit these things for iPad covers and phone covers and things? I found a couple of sites but I'm not sure how well they work in actually getting things sold...

(26,591 posts)i'm not saying that is what you are doing, but your style has a sparseness that can communicate a lot by what is absent.
you can make pretty good money with that.
very nice artwork, i am very impressed.
as far as production goes, you'd need the seed money to get the finished product produced (i'm thinking low tac adhesive plastic).
the cost per unit on about 1000 - 2500 wouldn't be that much.
your biggest hurdle would be the distribution channels, but with graphics as stunning as what you've shown here, they would largely speak for themselves.
i am intrigued.

(7,804 posts)but I suppose mostly through a lack of experience in attempting it. I did one once for a pal... I mucked about it a bit and did some more for my own sake for imaginary companies but all of them looked a bit too plastic for my liking!
I don't have any capital at all... I was hoping to stick things like this up on one of those "use our site to distribute your work" sites to acquire some capital!!! I don't know what the downsides are to that.
Thanks for your advice, it's interesting that you think I could do logos. I've always thought of myself as more of an illustrator.
I need a website, don't I?

I really like this. I know skinit.com will produce skins from pictures you send them, at least they used to, but that is just for individuals, not as a producer for retail if that makes sense.
Peace

(20,886 posts)I particularly like what you've done with the flames.
And don't believe everything you hear about graphic design being lucrative.

(7,804 posts)but I wanted to try something figurative... I'm not sure it really fits...

(58,604 posts)They certainly don't belong on a moon. Perhaps you've subconsciously drawn a stylized eclipse?
Just my $.02 worth (or maybe less .
BTW, it's great artwork in any event.

(56,912 posts)it really is very nice and I can see why data thinks you would be good with logos and bookcovers, too - I think.
