I decided to market my dad's paintings by applying them to various products, to make it affordable for others to have... Plus, to be honest, some of his paintings looks pretty cool on this stuff. It will be custom, so each person can have something from my dad's collection on various items, including apparel. What I want to do is to get your opinion on various products. Tell me how you feel about his painting being on that product? Do you think it is attractive? Would it be something you would buy? If not...why? And even if you would not buy it, do you think others will? Everyone is going to have a different opinion, so even if you say you don't like it, and/or would not buy it... It will be okay, because I know others will. My goal is to put out products that will be the most popular to market. Plus...if you have an idea of a product, share it... I will see if I can't get a template made...to see how it turns out. The first product is called: "Working On A Haul" Gel Mouse Pad. Tell me your thoughts.

The mouse pad does look good. Have you looked into setting up a Zazzle shop or Cafe Plus?

@teresatrotter Personally my preference is Zazzle. I have been considering putting some of my own work up there in the same manner. Have you had a look at Fine Arts America. They do mainly prints but I like the pillow cases and I-phone cases.

@koopharper - No I have not. I did a couple of i-phone cases on zazzle and they turned out pretty good. But pillow cases could be a nice idea. To me know... It would be where to place the art. Not all art would look good right in the center of the pillow case.

Zazzle is where I am creating this stuff. But have not tried Cafe Plus. Need to look into that website. Thanks.

Your father is an amazing artist. I love this picture. I wouldn't buy the gel mouse pad because I never use one but there are people who do and they may be interested in this product. I think it would be nice on coasters, plates, cups, and even t-shirts. It is a theme that I like being from the east coast. Even just sold as picture or wall hangings it would beautiful.

So you think t-shirts would be good? Should there be any writing on the t-shirt, or just plain as you see it here? I think coasters will be cool, as well as the other stuff you mentioned. I think I will do a few samples, then post them to see what you think. Might take me a little time, but I will get them up. I really appreciate your input.

@teresatrotter you are welcome. I look forward to seeing them. I was trying to think of wording to go on the t-shirt but I can't think of something right off. I will have to think about it. It may look good with wording depending what the wording is.
