Quick intro: I don't generate my art. Every card I sell is pencil to paper, scanned and listed on Etsy. Wonky 90s Nickelodeon-style cartoons with chaotic British humour: Bob's Your Uncle, Gutted, a wonky Christmas snowman. Why bother when AI is right there? Because I drew before I could sell, and "actually drawn by a bloke in Skipton" is the one thing a prompt can't clone. AI still earns its keep for concepts and composition, but my hands sign the work. Honest question for the group: does hand-drawn actually matter to POD buyers, or is that just a story we tell ourselves? Anyone else selling non-AI art?

Hi I was wondering if there was a way of marking / staring post, I read things and think that will be good to come back to as I dont retain information retain very well then it takes me forever to find it again🙃

Which of these 2 card designs remind you more of 90s cartoon shows?

Hi everyone. So I just wanted to pop on here at the start of October and share my experience. I joined Etsy on May 28th and uploaded my very first print June 3rd. June 17th I had my first sale. I followed the Printshrimp videos to the letter and haven't deviated from it at all. I have been documenting this on my tiktik (@Sidehustlemichael) and have between 450-500 prints uploaded currently. Month by month it has increased and in September I made just over £2000 in profit. PROFIT, not revenue. I spend between 20-30 hours a month on this. If you are on TikTok come over and follow and if not, feel free to ask any questions here, but to be honest, just trust in the process. (I won't be sharing my Etsy store before anyone asks!)

So I’ve decided to give making prints a good go as I would like a side income. I’ve made my Etsy, so far have about 50 listings and another 25 or so to add. I’m not going with a niche just making what I like. Would love any feedback, still yet to have anyone visit my shop but it is very early days. https://ohthatsink.etsy.com
