I am a hobbyist, and my job will probably never require me to design and print anything for work.
I do really enjoy the process of conceptualizing, designing, and printing, and have done so for myself and some close acquaintances.
I've spent many hours/days learning the tools of the trade and was wondering if there was an opportunity to make some money as a side gig. Has anyone been successful doing this, and how did you go about it?
Here are a couple of my early designs, I plan to upload more once I clean things up a bit.
I make a small amount of money selling my original designs as prints on etsy. It's not a lot, but thats how i want it so that it's manageable with my single printer. My goal is to get the etsy gig just big enough to 100% pay for this hobby.
