I'm a teen artist and though I make next to no money with my Redbubble, every sale I make is a huge boost to my self esteem and belief in my art. The thought that there are people walking around with my art on their bodies is just amazing to me.
I know right, when I saw so many people that got tattoos of my work I was blown away. Didn't get a cent for any of that but wow, they like it so much they want it on their body for life and I'm more than fine with that.
I once bought a t-shirt from redbubble, but then realised months later, that it was from someone who stole the art... Now I’m always making sure I support the original artist
What would a lemu need a shirt for? the stickers are really great quality!! I have 10 Redbubble stickers on my iPad case and they're still there and they look like new, after a year plus of daily use!
@@Lemu_with_a_shirt they are really good quality! i bought some and i have them on my laptop and look as good as new! (might even look better now because all the air bubbles that were in them are gone )
theevilqueen Yeeaahhh. Unfortunately a lot of stolen fanart stays up while the artist's original art gets taken down by copyright claims. It kinda sucks if you draw a lot of fanart.
Fanart is illegal to do anything with, unless you have gotten written consent from the person or company that has the copyright. Evn doing more then practice your drawing or painting skills ( even posting a picture of it on socialmedia is illegal by law.)
@@abbystevens5693 Hmm, that doesn't sound right to me. I think it's whether or not you profit from it that makes it illegal, but you may be right. I'll have to research this.
I bought four twenty one pilots stickers from redbubble earlier today oh god i didn't know and there were heaps of designs that were twenty one pilots themed
@@sugarloaf55 If they claim it as their own or go against the artist's Copyright information, it still infringes upon those rights as well. Even some fan art artists are stolen from as well in this case.
Grab a waist belt, Kasey!! It'll make even the most potato sack dress wearable. ;P This video was SUPER helpful as I've been looking into different options, thanks a bunch!! :D
Sadly they do have that rule to an extent. I sell fanart-ish on the website and I sadly had 2 of my designs copy righted and taken down, with no stricks/warnings but the removal email, even tho I created the whole design myself but it was a drawing of Brendon Urie (with no face tho) So fan art can be taken down under some circumstances even if it was whole heartedly your work.
Most of the fan art on there is very likely to be stolen, but apart from that making profit of off a character design like spongebob is illegal so that's not just redbubble
Well, there are certain fanarts that you can make. I’m pretty sure they have some sort of list or something of fanarts/tv shows you can draw. It’s like a partnership
Actually they don't have a "no fanart policy" as much as it is a IP and copyright policy; fanart is allowed, only fanart that is supported however. For example Rick & Morty fanart is permitted within RB's guidelines. You can not just post any kind of copyrighted material. As for why and how there's so much of it on RB anyway boils down to finding it. You could post an image of Spider-Man and as long as you don't tag it that or 'Marvel' etc. RB is simply too busy to search and remove every single infringement upload. And people are very creative about how they tag infringing works that you will find them and the algorithm doesn't.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this! I’m entering college soon, and I’m trying to figure out how I can make some money off of my art with out having to make it a huge commitment. This Redbubble video was very informative :)
That would be cute however on red bubble, even though they have a bunch of products to choose from, they don’t have pockets on the shirts, usually because it would get in the arts way and you can’t decide where on the shirt the art goes. It is just the middle, a pattern all over, and I think you can do it in the pocket area, but of course there isn’t a pocket, and the sizing probably wouldn’t work if there was a pocket just because it automatically puts it in one of those three places and you can’t really adjust it.
Just want to note the organizational skills here - you got your message across without droning on about one thing or losing my interest, top notch video making
Hey Kasey! If you want the dress to look better, you could take a ribbon or scrap fabric price and do either a running stitch through the fabric and pull it, then tie, but you could also just tie it around your waist. It would look so good, especially with your body shape and the dress itself
The one thing I like about RB is the fact that it removes the issues of postage for me. Shipping from Australia to other countries is ridiculously expensive and i found with etsy I ended up out of pocket a few hundered dollars so whatever I sold wasn't worth it (only sell stuff I can post for free on there now, as asking $50 for postage on an A3 print of my work is something I find no one wants to do and when it costs me that much to actually post it... You can see why I'm glad there's an alternative) . However I do suggest at least having your percentage at least over 40% as some items like mugs and stickers if you choose to do them can end up making you no money at all (infact the reason its set at 20% is to cover the manufacturers fees - that's it and in the case of cheaper items you can wind up having constant emails from RB telling you they covered the missing costs) so by slightly upping your percentage avoids that. My only issue with RB isn't fanart (as they are atm trying to get licences for somethings so fan arts can be sold - bit like the Valve community made content store which I highly recommend people check out as its a great example of how to encourage artists who create fan art but do so with 100% their own designs, styles ect - the true definition of creating new content with existing properties which is actually something in RB's rules too that you can do but how they manage it makes little to no sense) but the stolen licened material like logos from copyrighted sources, offical posters for video games ect... All that kind of stuff is what causes alot of original creators to loose out, weither they're good or not. If people started reporting the clearly stolen stuff, there wouldn't be so many problems. (just in the last week I've seen stolen designs from Snorgstees. Com on there, Offical Square Enix poster art for the last final fantasty game and ThinkGeek... that's sort of the stuff I'm getting at that needs people to report them.) Also if wondering why i don't have too much issues with fan art - it's because proper fan art falls under a copyright term that allows people to make brand new content from existing works, something that's actually quite common in things you'll find in art galleries! However - there is a fine line for what is considered new creations with existing content, tracing or just stealing and tragically not alot of people are ever taught the difference. If you've ever studied fine art before you'd know that the masters in every movement copied one another to a degree - pretty much making fan art of one another's works... Heck back in Michaelangelo's and Carravaggio's days that was how you got jobs! (infact in the world of comics like DC or Marvel this is STILL how you get work) if you could imitate the current style of the time, you'd get more work than someone doing something else entirely. Not saying originality is bad - however once you understand why we have that legal rule in place for fan work you can actually see it pretty much everywhere. It's when you don't create something entirely new from the source of inspiration that all the problems start and rightly so. To put it bluntly, without some form of 'fan work' we wouldn't get new ideas, concepts and the formulation of new genres. You have to start somewhere - heck how do you think Japan's huge comics culture started? It was all because of western comics being imported and them wanting to have something that was theirs in a similar format. It's how we create new culture... And besides, not all fanart creators want to make fan art forever, but they do want people to see they do art and that one peice can get people hooked on thier other works in the same style. Sometimes you gotta bait people to take an interest in original content unless you're super lucky to have such an original style that you get attention for that instead.
I love how chill your are, Kasey. You’re not attention or money hungry (even though you obvs need both to make a living off of youtube, but I’m sure you know what I mean). You also stay true to yourself. You don’t shy away from topics as nudity (which I like, your nude drawings are the best x), you’ve talked about stuff like being “kid-friendly” etc. The fact that you’re being honest and that you’re naming both pros and cons about (for example) redbubble is great. I feel like many TH-camrs are afraid to be honest (because of sponsors etc). And of course we have your art too, but honestly I could write a novel about it, so we’ll save that :)
I started making a few things for red bubble back in 2009 while I was at college. When they only had basic tshirts stickers and paperwork. It was very handy and cool. It's also grown a lot more since then, especially with artists. However I dont think it's well known as much
I feel like, from what you’ve described, there’s got to be a happy medium. Why not do both? Have like some limited time/quantity or seasonal prints available for when you want to be more personal and/or make more cash, and have the Redbubble as a constant source of your art for the rest of the year.
Kasey, this is the first video of you'res that I've seen. It was really informative, thank you! I've been wondering about starting a store on Redbubble and this helped a lot. Have a good day!
I just love how you used your art to tell a story that made TONS of sense. I already have a RedBubble and as I watched this video I realized oh good, this is exactly my experience. BUUUUUUT I do have 3 Etsy accounts. One is digital patterns(it works itself), one is jewelry, another is crochet products, so there’s NO WAY I can print, cut, package my sticker packs, even if I have everything I need, I don’t have time. Thank you for this video and the work you put into it! I definitely have subscribed! 😊
I only made a Red Bubble account because a few of my viewers asked for prints, I hardly make money but I'm glad I have some kind of print available for my TH-cam family. :)
Tbh I have literally no social media presence so I doubt anyone would buy my junk, but as I see it at least you can do something with your work. I've also heard of a place called Threadless or something similar, but I might try this instead.
i can relate. But i have a hard time finding shirts that i like so why not make my own designs and buy it from there 👀 and if other people like it, then that is an added bonus right?
I’ve been wanting to start a redbubble shop, but I’ve been worried that it would take too much of the time I don’t have. I appreciate you making this, made the pros and cons much clearer. Have a nice day!!
With the fanart rule, Redbubble has partnered with some companies to make it so you are able to sell some fanart, such as with Cartoon Network. But others, you probably won’t be able to. That’s all I know.
I just recently ordered some prints from your red bubble and the quality came out great!!! thank you also for adding post cards i have lots of small places that need decorations.. Lovely work :) thank you so much!!!
I love your art! I love Redbubble too! I've had a shop but haven't been as active as of lately. You get out of it what you put in though. Like you said, having a TH-cam channel is helpful. I have full-time day job, so it is difficult to put time into marketing your work and selling it on the side and Redbubble is a nice place to start. I am just coming back from an extended medical leave too and finally getting financially back on track, so it was nice not to have to worry about shipping details. It's great for people who can't get out into the world if they have a passion for painting, drawing-illustration and aren't as mobile. I haven't been able to order my work yet, but I love the products you've shown, they look like great quality, soon I will be ordering products! Thanks for this video-excellent information!
I know this is 2 years ago, but you CAN sell Steven Universe fanart on Redbubble ! They have a partner program for a few fandoms, including a few CN shows-
This is so informative and helpful! I’ve been interested in making my own stickers but I don’t really know where to start so this was great. Thank you! Also the potato bag was actually pretty cute 🥺
Honestly, I believe red bubble is a great way to see if people would actually buy your art, so you could start there and work your way up to an actual shop!
Nothing brings me more joy and excitement than when I make a random sale of a sticker or shirt from somewhere around the world and I was not expecting it. I really should update some more things now that the holidays are almost here...I love redbubble pencil bags!
When I checked out your redbubble page I got waaay too excited when I found out they had a phone case for my old phone. Made me so happy! I love your art and I hope I can get one! ♥♥
Personally, I chose Etsy. Even though I’ve only really had 3 sales on there 😂 I find a lot of enjoyment in packaging orders myself and I really don’t know why. I’ve been contemplating getting a red bubble. This was really helpful information btw! :0
Hello Casey, I have always enjoyed your comments on videos of people I follow, I have started watching your videos now and you’re very entertaining, even I will say enjoyable! I am not sure about your art content/style yet but I still have many videos to watch. Your style is unique and I appreciate that! I really enjoy your commentary as I watch your Videos! Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
Do you have any suggestions about scanners/printers and uploading traditional art? Any info you would be willing to share about making your own prints would also be useful. I have my art scattered around Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and more but right now its all just phone photos which frankly look like butt!
I would suggesy scanning it in and getting a free art tool (like forealpaca), and using the eyedropper and bucket tools to make sure it looks as neat as possible. Unless you're using something ink based, like markers, then you should be fine.
Thank you for making this video!! I'm planning on posting some designs on redbubble and this was a perfect video to watch! It was super informational and helpful. I also LOVE your art, it was super calming to watch you draw and paint while listening to your tips. :)
I'm actually wearing a t-shirt from Redbubble and i hate it. The neckline is too wide and it's short in length. Love the acrylic blocks though- because i love reading mine says "Why yes i actually do need all these books".
Redbubble shirts are amazing quality, fyi. I have sensory issues and the fabric is soft enough that I have no problems with their shirts, especially the heathered shirt colours which are also slightly stretchy. When I'm buying christmas and birthday gifts and want to get someone a shirt it's the first website I go to. I've had some of their shirts and haven't seen any fading on them despite wearing and washing them often. Also, their washing instructions include "don't slap pandas" and it makes me smile every time I read them.
Haha that infomercial! And your merch is just the cutest I want them so much aahhh. But fangirling aside, this was just the video I needed! I've been curious about Redbubble for ages but googling the info isn't my cup of tea, I'd much rather get it from someone whose opinion I trust (and in video form)
I've gravitated toward RedBubble as I'm creating on the side. Most of my commissions are charcoal portraiture that masses won't really want, so in my down time I like to do quick watercolor images and designs to post on there with no hassle. It's so easy! You're correct that it would be difficult (not impossible) to make a living JUST off RedBubble but the ease of it makes it worth it for my life. Great video!
This video helped me a lot with learning more about redbubble! As a teenage artist these pros and cons were very helpful!! I've recently started my redbubble journey and opened up a shop and already made a few designs! :D wish me luck!💕
I think the dress is cute. I‘ve been buying from redbubble for years, and the quality of basically all their products is AMAZING. All my phonecases I ever owned are from there, the flip cases are so nice. I love it. It‘s a little sad that artist don‘t get more money though, and the amount of stolen art is disturbing.
Tip for the potato bag dress. Try putting a thin belt around the waist to make your sillhouette a bit more curved. This will make it less bland and you can show of your bootiful figure!
I LOVE Redbubble, I always get notebooks, journals, pillows and zipper pouches for art classes which fit long paintbrushes and shirts, like once upon a time, House and JMO themes and hoodies.
I am glad you are selling your prints and I hope you make more as your audience continues to grow. I hope you continue to offer your original art for sale too! This was a good video and so informative I wish you could convince Rin to open an account so she could sell prints too! Have a Grand Day!
I haven’t made one sale yet but it’s only been a little over a month. I don’t have 50 designs uploaded yet onto Redbubble so I will just keep uploading and posting models for my designs on social media.
I'm a teen artist and though I make next to no money with my Redbubble, every sale I make is a huge boost to my self esteem and belief in my art. The thought that there are people walking around with my art on their bodies is just amazing to me.
I know right, when I saw so many people that got tattoos of my work I was blown away. Didn't get a cent for any of that but wow, they like it so much they want it on their body for life and I'm more than fine with that.
love this comment gonna try this aswell
What is your redbubble so i can check it out?
can a 13 year old use it
Ice bang yeah!
I love the POTATO BAG! That ad was top-notch! 👌
SURELY top-notch.
DrawingWiffWaffles but you need a waffle bag
When is your next vid
I don't like making new accounts for a reason oof
Hi you should collab with doodle date🙂☺😁
Waffles 😍💖
I once bought a t-shirt from redbubble, but then realised months later, that it was from someone who stole the art...
Now I’m always making sure I support the original artist
hope you reported the person that was stealing art!
How do we research that?
@@rimurutempest3204 you can reverse image search the design
Yeah, be careful.
im starting to add my name on my art but on side
I liked Red Bubble too! Yeah the profits suck but I like to think that my work would just be sitting around anyway...so worth it as it's free.
Right? That’s how I see it. Either I make money or... I don’t?
Agreed ! I’ve only made about $100 from selling 75 items on RB but hey it’s better than nothing :)
As a buyer I love it. I'm a collector, bought many cool shirts off redbubble.
Best T-shirt page for sellers... Society6 would go too....👍
The Average Artist I too sell on Red Bubble, like you said its free and work is just sitting around anyway.
I literally just made a redbubble so I could buy my art as stickers~
Something_Skyes I'm thinking about doing exactly that, but still trying to figure out if red bubble is the best place. Is the price and quality good?
@@Lemu_with_a_shirt 3 weeks later
...
still no response~~

I’ll take one of EVERYTHING your sales pitch is second to none, Kasey
We totally need to hit up your Store 🤔❤️
Doodle Date yasssss Steph needs the dress. She would look STUNNING 💙💙💙

And yay Doodle FAM were you at
You should collab with drawing with waffles 😁😁😁😁😁
Haha I love my leaf sticker for your red bubble, he has been hanging out on the side of a shelf for about a year now

By the way, I've been waiting months and I still haven't received my $2. :/
did you ever get it lol
alien qxeen the minimum threshold is $20...so if you don’t make that amount they won’t pay.
@@natalie9641 you have to earn up to 20 to get your money

I want Kasey's infomercials instead of annoying ads
Nice ant potato bag!
Kevin! I havent seen you in a while.
Isabella Cox Hey!

ZuzikLPS ii meant you tube ads
Even I made 3$ a month I would be happy with knowing someone wanted something I drew enough to pay for it.
Grab a waist belt, Kasey!! It'll make even the most potato sack dress wearable. ;P
This video was SUPER helpful as I've been looking into different options, thanks a bunch!! :D
I was thinking this too!
Kasey's interpretation of Red bubble looks like a characterized disease.
Still think Red Bubble is cool, might want to make one in the future 👀
69 likes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
this aged poorly
Mm I dunno I think if you add like a brown leather belt or something the dress would be A Look
If there's one thing I know, it's that Kasey really needs that extra free time. I haven't seen her in over a year...
Not since she started making TH-cam videos 3 years ago...
Dave sir, I am sorry to hear that. Maybe she... *she could be ruling over her any kingdom!*

Aoeut Rip Dave.

THAT DRESS IS SO CUTE, I THINK ITD LOOKS GREAT WITH A NICE THICK BELT
Potato bags are easy to fix. Just wear a belt with them.
Could get a belt or sash to give a better shape to the dress!
The studio pouch is a total need
as soon as i ordered my studio ghibli studio pouch , she came out with this
i so wouldve gotten that pouch
Sadly, someone who bought my work, they didn’t get their product so they got a free replacement and I didn’t get the money from it because of it :/
I just use redbubble to print my own art onto shirts i can wear, it so funny because i make them bad deliberately
The dress is actually really cute 💙
Pau Alv yeah, just put a belt on it
i agree!
yeahh it's a little shapeless... but it's nothing a belt or some sewn-in elastic won't fix!
I’d wear it.
I agree!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this! I’m entering college soon, and I’m trying to figure out how I can make some money off of my art with out having to make it a huge commitment. This Redbubble video was very informative :)
In addition to using Redbubble, you could also do commissions and such~ That's what I was thinking of doing, anyway.
Why are you so amazing? Just why?
Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HEART KASEY! That means so much to me!
make a t shirt with a plant base pocket and a cactus popping out!
Cringefest that would be so cuteee
I fully support this creatively genius idea
Yeah that’s a good idea actually

I just wanna say that I'm a new subscriber and I adore you and your art style so much 💕
I wish you would put more of your designs on clothing!
Oh look who is here, i am a fan btw
Just want to note the organizational skills here - you got your message across without droning on about one thing or losing my interest, top notch video making
Hey Kasey! If you want the dress to look better, you could take a ribbon or scrap fabric price and do either a running stitch through the fabric and pull it, then tie, but you could also just tie it around your waist. It would look so good, especially with your body shape and the dress itself
The little doodles are super adorable and they add so much extra charm to this video. And the video itself was a great help, so thank you!

I just love how you used your art to tell a story that made TONS of sense. I already have a RedBubble and as I watched this video I realized oh good, this is exactly my experience. BUUUUUUT I do have 3 Etsy accounts. One is digital patterns(it works itself), one is jewelry, another is crochet products, so there’s NO WAY I can print, cut, package my sticker packs, even if I have everything I need, I don’t have time. Thank you for this video and the work you put into it! I definitely have subscribed! 😊
I only made a Red Bubble account because a few of my viewers asked for prints, I hardly make money but I'm glad I have some kind of print available for my TH-cam family. :)
I love watching you draw and paint, it's mesmerizing! 😍💪
I'm considering starting on Redbubble and this video was very informative, thank you!
I love you videos so much I'm so glad I found your channel (also your videos have inspired me so much 🖤🖤🖤)
Omg I’m am so excited! I didn’t realize what red bubble was, but when I saw these products... oh my god... it was a blessing
Tbh I have literally no social media presence so I doubt anyone would buy my junk, but as I see it at least you can do something with your work. I've also heard of a place called Threadless or something similar, but I might try this instead.
I don't really have much of a following either but I have made a few sales on Redbubble. Mainly stickers though.
i can relate. But i have a hard time finding shirts that i like so why not make my own designs and buy it from there 👀
and if other people like it, then that is an added bonus right?
I’ve been wanting to start a redbubble shop, but I’ve been worried that it would take too much of the time I don’t have. I appreciate you making this, made the pros and cons much clearer. Have a nice day!!
With the fanart rule, Redbubble has partnered with some companies to make it so you are able to sell some fanart, such as with Cartoon Network. But others, you probably won’t be able to. That’s all I know.
I just recently ordered some prints from your red bubble and the quality came out great!!! thank you also for adding post cards i have lots of small places that need decorations.. Lovely work :) thank you so much!!!
Do you want a giant pillow case that you can’t find in Canda?
*same*
Lol that part got me *DEAD* 😂
Yeah me too! Also does she actually sell that? It’s great.
Ebba Eriksson i pretty sure she does
I love your art! I love Redbubble too! I've had a shop but haven't been as active as of lately. You get out of it what you put in though. Like you said, having a TH-cam channel is helpful. I have full-time day job, so it is difficult to put time into marketing your work and selling it on the side and Redbubble is a nice place to start. I am just coming back from an extended medical leave too and finally getting financially back on track, so it was nice not to have to worry about shipping details. It's great for people who can't get out into the world if they have a passion for painting, drawing-illustration and aren't as mobile. I haven't been able to order my work yet, but I love the products you've shown, they look like great quality, soon I will be ordering products! Thanks for this video-excellent information!
HOW HAVE I NEVER DISCOVERED THIS!? After I'm done on Redbubble my room will be Kasey themed. XD
I loved watching the little watercolor doodles while you talked!
Me: oh boy I can’t wait to sell Steven Universe and prints of my dog character
Kasey: no fandoms
Me: well that’s 50% of my ideas gone
I know this is 2 years ago, but you CAN sell Steven Universe fanart on Redbubble ! They have a partner program for a few fandoms, including a few CN shows-
This is so informative and helpful! I’ve been interested in making my own stickers but I don’t really know where to start so this was great. Thank you! Also the potato bag was actually pretty cute 🥺
Honestly, I believe red bubble is a great way to see if people would actually buy your art, so you could start there and work your way up to an actual shop!
In your second drawing you did in this video, the farther back leg is completely disconfunctional and I love it so much.
Only 12$ for medium size print of the fall ants ? I’m so going to buy the seasonal ants yessssss
I've been thinking about getting a redbubble recently! Glad to see this video was made
"Sweet sweet pennies" HaHa canada doesn't even have pennies anymore
Nothing brings me more joy and excitement than when I make a random sale of a sticker or shirt from somewhere around the world and I was not expecting it. I really should update some more things now that the holidays are almost here...I love redbubble pencil bags!
The phone drop scared me and I'm a little ashamed to admit that.
When I checked out your redbubble page I got waaay too excited when I found out they had a phone case for my old phone. Made me so happy! I love your art and I hope I can get one! ♥♥
1:21 I'm a dude. And even I know you are supposed to wear a belt with that dress. Or at least some type of waist tie. :P
I'm so glad your getting your art out into the world!
Personally, I chose Etsy. Even though I’ve only really had 3 sales on there 😂 I find a lot of enjoyment in packaging orders myself and I really don’t know why. I’ve been contemplating getting a red bubble. This was really helpful information btw! :0
Hello Casey, I have always enjoyed your comments on videos of people I follow, I have started watching your videos now and you’re very entertaining, even I will say enjoyable! I am not sure about your art content/style yet but I still have many videos to watch. Your style is unique and I appreciate that! I really enjoy your commentary as I watch your Videos! Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
Your merch is the best
Zexity Xxzx merch*
Wow! So cute your art style is so unique. I have never seen any youtuber as good as you
Do you have any suggestions about scanners/printers and uploading traditional art? Any info you would be willing to share about making your own prints would also be useful. I have my art scattered around Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and more but right now its all just phone photos which frankly look like butt!
I also want to know this. Part of the reason I haven't opened a shop sooner is that I worry about the quality of my traditional art uploads
I would suggesy scanning it in and getting a free art tool (like forealpaca), and using the eyedropper and bucket tools to make sure it looks as neat as possible. Unless you're using something ink based, like markers, then you should be fine.
Thank you for making this video!! I'm planning on posting some designs on redbubble and this was a perfect video to watch! It was super informational and helpful. I also LOVE your art, it was super calming to watch you draw and paint while listening to your tips. :)
Do you guys know where the background music is from??? Or maybe the person i'm talking about got it from the same place Kasey did. Oh well.
Oh your'e still here She linked the music in the description. Maybe that's what you're looking for?
Thanks for this Kasey! I've been considering redbubble for a few months and this information really helped. :)
I'm actually wearing a t-shirt from Redbubble and i hate it. The neckline is too wide and it's short in length. Love the acrylic blocks though- because i love reading mine says "Why yes i actually do need all these books".
Redbubble shirts are amazing quality, fyi. I have sensory issues and the fabric is soft enough that I have no problems with their shirts, especially the heathered shirt colours which are also slightly stretchy. When I'm buying christmas and birthday gifts and want to get someone a shirt it's the first website I go to. I've had some of their shirts and haven't seen any fading on them despite wearing and washing them often. Also, their washing instructions include "don't slap pandas" and it makes me smile every time I read them.
You: "RedBubble's got your back."
Me: *they stole my back--*
_wait where’s my spine_
Haha that infomercial! And your merch is just the cutest I want them so much aahhh. But fangirling aside, this was just the video I needed! I've been curious about Redbubble for ages but googling the info isn't my cup of tea, I'd much rather get it from someone whose opinion I trust (and in video form)
I buy stuff from red bubble all the time. Mostly anime shirts.
like the original character? I have fanarts and original anime chara's drawn but are they allowed to post?
I've gravitated toward RedBubble as I'm creating on the side. Most of my commissions are charcoal portraiture that masses won't really want, so in my down time I like to do quick watercolor images and designs to post on there with no hassle. It's so easy! You're correct that it would be difficult (not impossible) to make a living JUST off RedBubble but the ease of it makes it worth it for my life. Great video!

This video helped me a lot with learning more about redbubble! As a teenage artist these pros and cons were very helpful!! I've recently started my redbubble journey and opened up a shop and already made a few designs! :D wish me luck!💕
Its funny that you aren't allowed to upload fanart when they have a "Movies" section on the tshits
I think the dress is cute. I‘ve been buying from redbubble for years, and the quality of basically all their products is AMAZING. All my phonecases I ever owned are from there, the flip cases are so nice. I love it. It‘s a little sad that artist don‘t get more money though, and the amount of stolen art is disturbing.
that right leg at 5:20
This video was very useful! C: Thank you so much for taking the time to do it Kasey!
My biggest question is how do I open a shop, because I tried and it won't cooporate
Tip for the potato bag dress. Try putting a thin belt around the waist to make your sillhouette a bit more curved. This will make it less bland and you can show of your bootiful figure!
Keep it up 👆
Thank you so much for making your prints available! Love your style and I always want to support artist/show off cool stuff in my home.
Lol, just as I was wondering "I wonder when Kasey is gonna upload" you upload 😂
Camel colored Slim waist belt to the “potato” dress will jazz it up along with gold accessories 🤗love your art style
I have a question. How do you withdraw the money you earn from it?
Bai's Corner you need to connect it to your paypal account and they will deposit the money you earned inside every month.
That is really good information thank you for letting us know how it works and it sounds like it makes it easier to make your own merch with them.
This was really entertaining
I LOVE Redbubble, I always get notebooks, journals, pillows and zipper pouches for art classes which fit long paintbrushes and shirts, like once upon a time, House and JMO themes and hoodies.
I love your beret
KKvanilla KK ummm, thats a beanie...
I am glad you are selling your prints and I hope you make more as your audience continues to grow. I hope you continue to offer your original art for sale too! This was a good video and so informative I wish you could convince Rin to open an account so she could sell prints too! Have a Grand Day!
Is ot just me or does it look like kasey’s style changed a bit🤔
OMG THAT ONE DRESS ITS JUST ITS ADORABLE!
You have a face???
She’s had a face for like 3 months now
I’m enjoying redbubble even though I haven’t gotten any sales :P it’s fun seeing my art on stuff
I just recently ordered some stickers from your shop!!! I cant wait to put them on my sketchbook!!
I haven’t made one sale yet but it’s only been a little over a month. I don’t have 50 designs uploaded yet onto Redbubble so I will just keep uploading and posting models for my designs on social media.
