For the past couple of months, I’ve been wrapping my brain around the notion of print-on-demand(P.O.D). However, the only problem was that my love for painting is more prominent than being a full time P.O.D digital artist. I would rather be spending more time painting and making prints or gift cards for my paintings V.S. making t-shirt designs all day with simpler designs.
