I wish someone would have told me how long it would take to photograph all my items and re-post them to my Etsy shop, LOL. Let's just say, if you plan on doing the same, set aside a full day and a half.
Luckily, I made several photoshop actions and since my lighting stayed consistent I could automate quite a bit of the work.
I love my new background. It is a wood grain printed paper I found at the local art supply store. I think it is neutral enough to let my work stand out but still interesting.
Sound like those go together to me! My new illustrations should be appearing on belt buckles, in jewelry and as prints pretty soon. I'd forgotten how much fun Illustrator can be. I had turned some images (the crow and the weenie dog) into vector art when Vector Magic was still free and just got around to using it. BTW, if you can afford it, get Vector Magic. So much easier than Live Trace in Illustrator and better results. It'll export as an .eps or .ai. Great stuff. Otherwise, I tend to hand draw what I want then trace it and import it into Illustrator to trace over with the pen and shape tools.
