To Sell or Not To Sell, That is the Question.

July 27, 2010 |

So, I’ve been toying with the idea of selling stuff I make online. I’ve been working on some badges/buttons (like the ones I used for my thesis, but also another new ‘set’ that, in my humble opinion, is pretty exciting), since people seem to love those. But then, I’m thinking of making some prints as well.

These are A5 in size (or half of A4) and 3/4 are references of things dear to my heart.

Yes/No? What do you think? Should I make more or should I just stick to my day job? (LOLJK, I don’t have a dayjob.) Let me know what you think, please. I’d really appreciate it.

Suggestions (of what else to make—as in, shirts, tote bags, etc?) are also most welcome.

Love,
Carina

P.S. Sorry for the stupid title. I haven’t even read that play.

  11. Hanna says:

    You should add: “I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23.” :p

    And I like the idea about making blank notebooks. I am obsessed with them. :)

  12. Camille says:

    MAKE MORE OF THESE, I WOULD SO BUY SOME. Especially the Get Over It and ‘So worry not’ one. I really like them, well done! :)

  13. Sarah says:

    YES YES YES sell! I’d love to have the Looking for Alaska quote or the Rushmore one hanging in my room :D :D Do say you’d ship all the way to Florida?

  14. don says:

    book bags, teh carina! can you make one of those?

  15. Marta says:

    Tote bags for certain! I’d definitely order a few in. Or even t-shirts.

  16. Weng says:

    A Rushmore shirt would be perfect! :)

  17. Callie Michelle says:

    On Etsy, a lot of the prints available for sale are hand silk screened and really fancily done (and hence the price… WAAAY over budget). How are your prints done?

  18. Mara says:

    Tote bags and prints! Especially the one about Rushmore and “Get Over It!”

    (I am already excited about this)/

  19. Margie says:

    YES! You’d make big bucks! Baka nga di mo na kailangan ng “day job” if ever. Yehesss!

    I’d be one loyal client! <3

  20. Sonny T. says:

    Line me up for a shirt :)

  21. Valerie says:

    Yes please! I’m about to renovate my room and I’d love to have something of yours on my wall. :)

  22. Aziel says:

    oh these are gorgeous, you should definitely sell. One of the first things that attracted me to reading your blog is your eye for design. They’re so clean and simple yet never simplistic. The subjects you choose to design about are great too.

    If ever you choose to sell (shirts, post cards? :D) I would definitely buy. go for it! :)

  23. Kulot says:

    Wes Anderson movie quotes! I’d buy them in bulk if you make notebook sleeves. :)

  24. Helga says:

    Maybe if there were penises involved LOLJKORAMI. Yes, of course, your stuff is kyot. IF YOU MAKE A HANSON-THEMED TOTE BAG, I WOULD DEF BUY.

    Plz plz plz promise not to call your business partners (hrhrhr)/customers “sis”, ok.

  25. Jin says:

    Tote bags and notebook covers would definitely be a hit. ;)

  26. ArinaAntos says:

    Yes! :)

  27. sheens says:

    Will definitely buy!

  28. Carina says:

    HELLO EVERYONE. <3 Thank you for all the comments. I really appreciate it.

    Helga, I will not call anybody ‘sis,’ besides my own sister.

  29. Amanda says:

    NOTEBOOOOKS!
    And I can work on the production part for you :)
    I will get a Great Perhaps one for myself :D
