http://www.cafepress.com/spacequake I have a ton more designs to come, and I'll be opening a second CafePress shop within the next 3 months. It's pretty new, but it's doing fairly well so far. I'm also working on getting the rights to do designs for band t-shirts and merchandise.
I've always done graphics and illustrations, but it had to be put on the side for many years because of my dance career. But now that I am unable to dance (a bad injury) it really gave me the time to think about what else I could do with my life. Art and design were always a passion of mine as well, and it seemed like the perfect time to switch careers. I know that was long-winded, but a guess if I don't self-promote, I'll never get anywhere.  And this is the perfect thread to do so. I didn't start my own thread about it yet because I am so shy when it comes to selling my stuff. Which is bad, I know.  Very Awesome!, Your designs are amazing...I love all of them, but with cafe express you have to pay????I thought it was free. [Edited 9/14/06 14:43pm] | |

Yes, a basic site is free, but I pay for a Premium site, which has a lot more options.
So yeah, you could put anything you want on there as well. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I could be wrong though. even if it is... not worried about it. pretty soft crime, and since they dont leave my house, i aint sweating it. now, if i were selling the copies, that'd be different... and very immoral Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

Yes you are allowed to make backups for yourself but if you sell the original by law you are supposed to destroy the backup because you don't own the license anymore. | |
