More inventory is how you will get noticed. Two images are a two drops in an ocean. 1,300 new artworks were added to this site today.

Thank you for the tip, I am currently a college student and i am trying to upload pieces as much as i can! How is your art doing? Do you make any money? I'm just wondering because I am new to all of this!

with only two images, you'll need more work

Art Prints
the white parts should be cleaned up on the outside. you should have a description.

Photography Prints
that C on the top - will prevent it from printing. again no description. be sure to add them. they are important.

add a bio as well. you have to market yourself.

How do i clean up the white on the outside?

How am I doing? Great after putting in years of marketing and building a body of work.
....
How do I clean up the white? Photoshop, GIMP or any other image processing program.

That is awesome, that is what i am aiming for, i just started drawing last year, so everything is new to me! thank you very much for the feedback, will try my best to change things up!

Your designs fit the products perfectly - t-shirts, totes. You will want to upload them as transparent PNG files so the background can be changed by the customer.

even just erasing the bad parts with an eraser and rescanning it. basically it takes a long time and a lot of dedication to sell. i think your art will sell, but you need a lot more things . i can see it selling to the tiki crowd, if you can find one.

I like your style, Michael.

Starting off with two images is a good start! I agree that your work would make great tee shirts. Welcome, and good luck!

Thank you very much everyone, I will try my best to clean some images up, the limitations on this website with the style and the placement are slightly annoying to work with, but will do my best! Thank you for the feedback!

Keep at it. Listen to all advice given. These men and women are some very talented artists. I also like your style and look forward to more as your time allows.

I second Kristalin's comment. Good luck

If you make PNGs the placement that you reference as annoying may be resolved. For example, pillows try to fit the box when a jpg but when png, you can pick background color and adjust the size - it is ah-mazingly better.
Also, like many others mentioned, it is a combination of marketing to send people to your site (be social media savvy to do this for free) AND a numbers game (get more pieces, I started seeing regular sales sometime after I had well over 150 pieces).

Nice work. Perhaps you may want to become creative in the titles of your work. Don't worry about how many pieces you have. It's the creative quality that will set you apart.
