It’s Calendar Time…
Hello there! I’ve finally got back to the website after a good few months - in the end I decided to put the blog on hold because, as we say here in France I had “other cats to whip” (lol “other fish to fry” in English) but the website has popped up again because I’ve got myself all in a fizz about print on demand and it looks like I need a shop somewhere so I’m going to start here.
Right from the outset I knew that I wasn’t interested in selling prints but that was at a time when I thought I had to print them out myself and deal with postage etc. I still have that capacity if I want to do signed numbered prints but in the mean time for the part of the art market that chooses price over collectability and rareness I have decided that a select number of my works will be available for purchase on a Print on Demand basis. As I understand it that means that you buy here on the site and a Print on Demand company takes care of the rest - result!
I have to admit that I haven’t set up or chosen who I want to do my prints for Print on Demand so that’ll be something to come later. What I do have is a wall calendar for 2025!, I have received a test order and find the print quality excellent, the packaging secure and delivery time excellent so, all I need to do now is work out how to hook up the website to Gelato (the print on demand company that I found that does calendars).
There’ll be a bit of jiggling around of the shop so that I separate out the originals from what I shall refer to as “merchandise”. No doubt I’ll have to put the calendar somewhere else like Etsy if I want more than a few sales but baby steps, Tracy, baby steps and at least I can point people here if they need a calendar sent somewhere in the world. Aha the world is indeed my lobster Rodney!
I’ll put the blurb about the calendar in the shop I’ll just say here that I’m very proud of it, there are 13 of my paintings from 2023 and 2024, its A4 size opening up to 42cm x 29,7cm with a little hole to hang it up - not sure what the price is yet - you’ll see that in the shop I think. English and French bank holidays, new and full moons, French school holidays and January 2026 to boot.
I’m off to do some fiddling on the Website - see you soon
Lots of love
