Selling your art and photography

With a dozen or more Print and Product companies for your photography and art out there it can seem like an impossible journey to navigate and to find the best one.

Some people want the best quality while other people are searching for the lowest price alone. There is no right or wrong way to go about searching for a third party fulfillment company. You basically just have to find one that best fits your specific needs.

Yes I am sorry to say there is just not a magical printing fairy out there that will help you through it.

But I can help point you in the right direction.... and occasionally I have sported some fancy wings.

In No particular order below is a list of  Printing Shops or Hosting Sites that takes a lot of the work out of it for you.   These places will allow you to post your photos and artwork and it will do the printing and shipping for you.

Creating Our Logo

Our Logo Design was challenging to say the least.

When we started the company we had a really bold design, with a Black Background and Rich Bright Colors. But it never really felt quite right.  It seems odd that a Design Company like our own would have so many struggles in this department but we like many of you just could not find anything that felt right.

With no time to really work on our own logo we decided to ask for help.

So I contacted Cheryl Logan with CLP Designs and we gave her a few keywords that we thought best represented the direction we wanted to go in with the Company and the Logo.

Airy, Light, Colorful, Whimsy  

This was a really difficult task for us because our Company Name just has such a BOLD Feel too it.
 But we love our Name and Motto and will not be changing that ever.  So we had to have something that represented us.


In no time at all. (It seemed like overnight actually)  Cheryl had a Design Board for us to look at.
I felt like they were perfect.

But after talking it over with her and some friends we decided to make some minor adjustments to the design and came to love this overall design below.

Keeping with the Same "Paint Splash" Theme as our Old Logo Design we felt like it helped Tie in the overall change to the new logo.

So basically we LOVE our new look and designs and what it means for our company.
With the new look we can move forward and have a coheisive feeling to the entire Shop and Site.
We hope you love the new design as much as we do.
