Hi guys,
I'm so exciting…I just got my first batch of products for my Summer Fete charity sale and ETSY. They have come back better than I could imagined or expected. I found a nice friendly, helpful and flexible printer, which offered small quantities with multiple designs. Just what you need when you are a new freelance illustrator with a small budget testing the market.
I love them! Can’t wait to print more but have to sell these first.
I found that a few of my illustrations had been used in inspirational/”that’s a nice image” blogs (even though I was not informed).

A bit of a worry…thankfully I was accredited in most cases and haven’t found anyone selling my illustration unlawfully (PHEW!). It is a risk having your work online, when all you trying to do is promote your skill and business.
I try to protect myself with low-res images, tagging my images in Photoshop and copyright all images that go up. What do other illustrators do to protect themselves? Watermarks etc.
I’ll be setting up my ETSY store, getting my gift tags, stickers and postcards back from print next week…so keep an eye out and spread the word if you are a fan :o)
Stay Creative,
Ni
