I’m sitting at 491 total sales—less than 10 sales away from the big 500! It’s incredible to see how far this has come. A little while ago, I celebrated hitting 100 sales on TeePublic. At the time, it felt like a massive mountain to climb. But lately, things have shifted into high gear!
I just did a “pulse check” on my shops, and the numbers blew me away:
- TeePublic: 227 items sold
- Redbubble: 264 items sold
That is nearly 500 pieces of my art out in the world on shirts, stickers, and mugs. Whether you bought a single sticker or a cozy hoodie, I wanted to say a genuine thank you. Seeing people across two different platforms connect with my work is the best motivation an artist can ask for.
Why Two Shops?
I often get asked why I list my work in multiple places. For me, it’s about making sure you can find my art wherever you prefer to shop!
- TeePublic is easy to upload to and offers what they call a Dashery site option. The dashery site is a standalone store of just your artwork, it’s what I use for my Official Merch Store.
- Redbubble offers some unique items like throw blankets, shower curtains, bedding, hardcover journals that really let my designs shine in different ways.
Lessons from the Road to 500
Looking back at my early uploads, I can see how much my line work, humor, and composition have sharpened. Then there are the variety of albums I created, which consist of similar designs:
You can’t predict what people will love. You can only keep creating.
Who’s going to help me cross the 500 mark? If you’ve been eyeing something in the Engine Icons or State Stamps collection, now is the perfect time to grab it!
What’s Next?
I’m already looking toward the 1,000-sale milestone, and I’ve got some exciting new projects in the works.
I’d love to hear from you: Do you have a favorite platform to shop on? Or is there a specific design you’d love to see me tackle next? Let me know in the comments!
