SVS Virtual Studio JANUARY 2023

[Jeremy Ross]

Celebrating the Year of the Rabbit with surface pattern designs; hoping 2023 brings peace.

@Jeremy-Ross fun! what company or website or app is that?

[Jeremy Ross]

Thanks @Asyas_illos!

I'm selling on Spoonflower.com, but you can also use Red Bubble and/or Society6 and others.

I'm waiting for my proofs to arrive before my surface patterns go on sale, which also include gnomes and unicorns!!! I have a collection, which are offered in 3 unique color styles for each design.

Admittedly, all my picture book dummies keep getting rejected, so I'm trying something different to stay motivated while having fun.

@Jeremy-Ross Love the unicorn pattern, great job!

@Jeremy-Ross These are awesome, good luck with it!

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you @tomparsonsart!

@Jeremy-Ross No problem! I used to work in sublimation printing and I believe we did some samples for Spoonflower a few times. I've been meaning to do this as well, would love to know how it works out for you.

[Asyas_illos]

@Jeremy-Ross that’s awesome I’ve been searching other ways to market myself as well and this was something I was interested in so thanks!

[Asyas_illos]

@Jeremiahbrown hahaha!

[Asyas_illos]

@Jeremy-Ross do they give you specs? Like what your file sizes need to be and such?

Hey! been a while since I posted anything new. This pencil illustration was subliminally inspired by the now old movie Epic by BlueSky. Inspired by the amazing William Joyce book the “Leaf men and the Brave Good Bugs” it was made during a bunch of meetings and after the kids are in bed Netflix and chill sessions. Please feel free to comment! I would love some critique.

@Asyas_illos The file needs to be png, jpg or tiff, 150 dpi recommended. They support 4 different repeats, so there is no requirement on the shape of the image. They have heaps of resources and how tos, so it’s easy to get started.

I’ve had a Spoonflower account for years, and my experience is that their design competitions (they run them weekly) is the absolute best way of getting sales on the platform. I came in at number 8 once a couple of years back, and that design vastly outperforms my other ones. The prompts are generally a lot of fun, so even if you don’t place high they’re fun to participate in.

@Jeremy-Ross they look awesome! Do you have different sizes? It seems quite big. My daughter now sleeps under a duvet instead of a sleeping bag for the first night and I need more covers. Love the rabbits and unicorns. Her bed is still a smaller sized bed.

[Jeremy Ross]

Thanks @Mia-Clarke, you beat me to it!

Also, there’s a 40MB limit for each design, though most of mine are less than 5MB at 300 dpi.

I’ve been entering all the contests now that SVS has abandoned the Sweet 16 Critique Arena.

[Jeremy Ross]

Hi @Chantal-Goetheer, Yes! The duvet is offered in Twin, Full/Queen and King/Cal King.

Please note, nothing is for sale at this time until proofs are approved, which should arrive next week. I certainly don’t want to sound spammy here, just sharing art with my SVS fam
