So, About Those Fourthwall Changes...

(Lock image source) I  was  going to try to leave most of them up, but after archiving the ones I felt the least pleased with, the Fourthwall Pro banner was still up. If I wanted to add new items, I'd have to archive more...

Reconstructing the Fourthwall 🔨

Image
Four days ago, I was putting a post together to show examples of what items could be made out of a Silly Lil' Doodles order, and wanted to include a kisscut sticker. I went over to Fourthwall  to do this and was met with a window talking about upgrading to a Pro account.

🦃🥧 The Nov - Dec Shop Update is HERE! ❄🦌

The rest of the Autumn Collection and the start of the Winter Collection are now available on  Zazzle  and Fourthwall ! But I've decided that I'm not going to do that end-of-the-year promo I had planned, anymore. 😔 The whole point of doing it was to escape the expected holiday rush...I wanted to have listings ready for first week, but now thanks to (another) laptop scare and a sinus infection, I didn't finish them until the day before yesterday. Now we're halfway through the month...I feel like it's too late; this is more than likely where I would have ended the promotion. 😕  So, uh, yeah. Since I missed out on the ideal time for selling physical products, I'm going to focus on discussing and advertising my Silly Lil' Doodlez commissions . In the earlier half of next year, more old Winter designs will be added to places that don't already have them, and finally...there will be  ✨ BRAND NEW ARTWORK IN MY SHOPS!✨ Some will be an extension to preexisting ...

Strange Zazzle Happenings: The Follow-Up 📍

Image
In an earlier post, I discussed a...very strange problem with my stores over on Zazzle that only continued to get worse over time. And when I came back to posting about KTCW on Pinterest , I decided it was best to delete all the pins that were tied to those stores. I still couldn't figure out why my account was having this problem or if it was worth contacting support over. I just knew that there wasn't a point in having links up for products, if they're not going to lead potential customers to them. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I published...maybe somewhere around 50 listings and it dropped down to only several public results. 😐 Zazzle has been the toughest time I've had making listings on any Print-On-Demand website so far. Perhaps this was my own fault out of my minimal experience, but it seemed a lot like it would be way too much work trying to rebuild what I lost. If editing these hidden listings didn't result in making them public again, I was ready to give up. Last week, as I ...

K-Tee's CreeativeWorks is Now Available on Fourthwall!

Hey everyone! Today, I’m officially sharing this website to the public! 🌎 Having a main site for KTCW was always part of my plan. I've been working on this place since later last year and had a good amount of things done with it about mid-Summer, but wasn't ready to show it to the world yet. There was something I was trying to have set in place first…I have no idea how long that's going to take at this point and I didn't want to continue keeping this site on hold. 🤷🏾‍♀️ And if the site is how I want people to contact me, I have to make it available. Eh, I'm sure getting more pageviews and generating more content will eventually help if I want to try again.  (If you want to learn more about my absence from social media, click here .) (If you want to know more about me and how my business came to be, click here .) Onto the bigger news! I had been eyeing Fourthwall as my next e-shop for a while and after running into some issues with another place I was trying to ho...

Strange Zazzle Happenings...

Image
Back in December, I checked my stores in preparation for my website launch, and noticed that a  LOT of my Zazzle item listings are missing!! 😨 Were the materials out of stock? Where they no longer offering these items?  I searched my e-mail for all the newsletters Zazzle sent me and couldn't find anything about site changes that could have caused this. I also looked for notifications from Zazzle but only found the ones telling me my products had been posted for sale back in 2023. I then went digging around on the web to see what could have caused this strange occurrence to happen and if anyone else came across the same issue. This lead me to Zazzle's community forums where someone posted a topic about their items missing during the year I stopped uploading designs. They noted that there were changes to the collection rules...could this possibly have something to do with my situation? I checked out the page on how this feature works but couldn't find anything that I ma...

Why I Took My Shirt Listings Down (Most of Them, Anyway)

Image
If you've looked at my print-on-demand shops, you may have noticed that most of the shirt options are unavailable. Why is that? Well...most of my designs include my KTCW logo and I had lowered the opacity of this layer to make it more transparent. This was done because I wanted to make it less distracting to the rest of the design, but I didn't consider how that would transfer to a shirt...😬 Here's how Teepublic printed my "You Can Be Seal-ious" Sad Seal  design to a shirt. (The color was altered a bit to reduce glare.  I'll  provide a better screen-to-print comparison in the future) A lot of it looks pretty good. But when you takes a closer at the logo... It's completely blurry and unreadable. 😭 It's supposed to look a little more like this: I want to let people know who made these designs but I can't sell any clothing with the logo looking like that! There's no point. I'm going to have to go back to the original files and figure out...

Redbubble Blues

Image
Redbubble  was the first print-on-demand site I ever tried. I can't for the life of me remember when I had first heard or found out about it--the company's been around since 2006; that's quite a while--but I think I decided that I wanted to use it somewhere between 2019-2021. I was fed up with an ongoing situation and wanted to pivot over to something else. I had already said for the longest time that I wanted to get back to revising my characters and selling original art, so, this was a good time to do something productive with  that , instead of being upset. One of the biggest draws to Redbubble was how beginner friendly it was. You could join it for free and have your own storefront on the website!  The other features were nice too: The ability to protect your work by adding a watermark to previews Getting to adjust the placement and size of your design Having the options to create patterns out of your design Providing mockups to give you and your customers an idea of ...

Looking For A Redbubble Alternative? Try These Sites!

Back in the day of 2010's-internet, Redbubble was a good way to start selling your own merch. But after introducing artist account tiers in May of 2023, it has greatly fallen out of favor with creatives, causing those who once enjoyed the platform, to search for other print-on-demand sites that work similarly, or better, to how RB used to. Where else is there to go? There are multiple places, but here's a short run-down of the ones that I'm currently using:
  Hey, it's me, K-Tee! Welcome to my CreeativeWorks website! 🥳 This is going to be the main place to find all of my original art-related content! I know some of you have a couple of questions on your mind right now, so, lemme address them here:
