Hello fellow Sherdoggers. If I am posting this in the wrong place then a mod please move it.

I produce artwork via wacom drawing tablet attached to my computer and have been doing so for the better part of a year ever since my friend gave me his old one for free. Below is some of the work I have produced

Does anyone here sell their art online and know of any good places online that will produce and sell prints of my work? I know of Zazzle but the one time I did use them the quality of the prints were garbage. I just want a place I can put all my art up on and sell it. Profit is secondary really for now because I have a good amount of people asking where they can buy my stuff
 
when I come down from my acid flashback hallucinations caused by those pics maybe I'll be able to respond.
 
So, im gonna blow those pics up, print them out, and sell a few and report back bud..

You know what sucks I never had an acid flash back and I've done it a lot :(

Go ahead and you can keep the profits.
 
Let me know where you end up selling them, this is better than a lot of stuff I see for sale

Also, which art program did you use?
 
Nice stuff!

You should put a watermark or copyright notice on them when you display it online, so that only those who buy them get a clean version.
 
You're very talented. I don't know anything useful about selling art but you certainly could have some success based off these pieces of work. Keep it up bud

bummer dude. haven't had one in years tbh. but I used to get this orange mist flashback when I closed my eyes. a bright cloud of orange mist swirling ifo me. pretty cool actually.

MS Paint! For real I have a few different programs Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop Elements Gimp, Corel Paint Shop Pro and a slew of other photo programs.

I mainly stick to using Photoshop and Gimp. Gimp by the way is a pretty damn powerful editing tool being that it is free.
 
I came in here to make fun of you.

You might be pretty good at what you do, though.

Good luck.
 
I love the 2nd piece.
I live two minutes away from a nature preserve and spent many a time in there tripping different psychedelic substances which gave me the idea to produce some art based on my experiences in the place. Since you liked the second one here is another piece I did. Those were both done awhile ago

I'm alright. There are others who are way better than myself and that includes that individual here who makes those realistic looking MMA art pieces

Very nice. You ever think of trying physical media?
 
I knew it reminded me of something from my past.
These are copies of perforated sheets of acid from the Grateful Dead era, of which I was a part

it was called blotter art. very trippy. so douse your art with a dose and cut it up I guess.
*I'm down

I fuck up way too much right now to even try physical media. Once I become more confident and comfortable I'll go that route

People tell me just follow the Bob Ross method and just go "That was a happy little accident"
 
I’ve always been a fan of acid like artwork. Good stuff.

I've always loved blotter art. The last time I did acid the blotters were of Rick and Morty. That last one is tripping me out

That is by far my favorite style of art. Right now my favorite artists are Arik Roper, Skinner and Alex Grey. You should check them out because they make some real great psychedelic artwork. Alex Grey has in the past done artwork for Tool, Skinner has done artwork for Mastodon and Arik Roper has done artwork for Sleep

It's a pain in the ass especially with a style like yours but don't be afraid jump in. Oil is forgiving and you can do basically whatever you want with Acrylic. A real bonus for you is if you ever laid pieces like those out on panel or canvas you'd make bank. At any rate, excellent work and keep it up!
