Artist Renee Mak

Today I'm working on getting some more cards wrapped up and delivered to my stores! I love taking detailed photos of parts of my original mixed media artwork, getting prints made and making them into cards!  (Go here for a short tutorial!) This process is called "leveraging" your art!  I've been doing it for quite some time but several artists teach classes on all the different ways you can make money with your designs! Always sign and copyright each card... and include your contact information!  I have more  artwork on my business card so I stick one of those in the package as well. Because Valentine's Day is oh so close, I chose some  of my heart designs for this batch!   Cards are a big seller for me... what are some ways you leverage your artwork? I'd love to know!!! Have a creative day... xoxo
