Ever thought about licensing your artwork to product manufacturers? If so, then you'll be interested in these links.  Companies are always looking for new designs-textile manufacturers, wallpaper companies, greeting card and stationery publishers, houseware manufacturers are just a few.

And if you find this lens and links helpful, I would appreciate if you would take a second to rate it, and/or leave a comment below in the guest book. Thanks.
