This year I think I am going to go a different route when selecting both holiday gifts and marketing my art. As an artist I would paint friends and family members special portraits, or simply give them one of the prints I have laying around the house. However today I found another option.

FotoBed.com Photo Throws allows you to easily put your artwork or family portraits on duvet covers, pillowcases, and blankets. Not only that but they are the only site that allows you to put your artwork on shower curtains. As an artist, I can easily see how FotoBed.com can increase my revenue by expanding my product base. Artists such as Wyland, Lassen and Guy Harvey have been selling their art in this way for years. Think about it. Your art or photos as not only a work of art, but a functional piece of art that doesn’t just hang on your wall.

Keep in mind thought that FotoBed.com is not strictly an artist’s website or service. Anyone can upload their photos to FotoBed.com and have them printed and shipped in two to four weeks. Not only that, but they also offer half-price duplicates (where you can get one exact duplicate item for 50% off) allowing you to get one for yourself and your loved one.

On The Flats Blanket Contest

So, what I would like to do is invite you to browse my online store and pick a piece of art that you would like to see on a blanket. Leave a comment on this blog telling me why you think it is a good choice to covert this art to a FotoBed masterpiece. Based on your answer I will pick a winner and will send you a throw on me. No strings attached. So get cracking and check out FotoBed.com for other great gift ideas!
