One business model for your art business could be producing and selling a series of prints, photographs, sculptures or multiple copies of any artwork. The advantage of this model is that it allows you to leverage the work or designs you have created and achieve some level of efficiency and predictability in producing the copies. An edition can be either limited or unlimited in the number of pieces produced. Before you embark on producing and selling multiple copies or prints, it is a good idea to know what your costs will be and how you should price the works so that you will make a profit.
In the linked article I explore a simple yet powerful business tool that will help you determine the profitability of an edition or other art project as well as help you determine optimal pricing. Good Luck!

Hello Pamela, Thanks for the comment. There are a couple of routes you could go to reproduce your art on clothing. One would be to use a screen printing firm to print a quantity of items for you to sell - you will then have inventory. Another route would be to have a service print these items on demand as they are sold - no inventory with this method. A search on Google will help you find these firms and services - try "Art T Shirts" or "Apparel Printing" to get started. Good Luck!
