Officially Licensed Art

My art has been available for purchase on line (for some time). On Twitter (and other sites) I have asked 'what design are YOU wanting for a t-shirt or coffee mug?' (commissioned work without being 'commissioned' per se). These designs are available in any color you wish, any size you wish, and are on several different items. The items include T Shirts, coffee mugs, phone cases, pillows, baseball Tees, and more. An overview to the process is: to take the design, the selected color, and selected size for implementation onto the item designated by the site visitor. My company has taken advantage of this collaboration in order to place the items for purchase (and then is sent by mail to the designated address), while generating viewership on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Commissions are direct deposited, therefore invoices are not necessary (for this process). Focusing on the designs, fonts, typography, color aspects and aesthetics allows for creative license. Several of these designs have been reviewed by TV networks, movies, sports teams, and more.

Reading through emails, one in particular 'caught my attention.' This email stated that 'after review' several of the designs have been implemented as "OFFICIAL ART!'

The designated designs can now be displayed, hash tagged, and purchased as OFFICIAL ART. Exciting to us because of the work we put into these designs, and for these designs to be declared as official art, has made my 'once questioning' design confidence to become less so. 'Doing great work' feels very rewarding, in a world that seems very strange, thank you so much.
