Hopefully it will pass! Linocuts are especially hard to find a workaround

🙃 What about things you buy nationally but are from outside the U.S? Do you see the price increase in those?

Hoping for it to pass with little to damage. Apart from Etsy shops does it affect you in other ways? Not sure how much things are being impacted by tariffs

Yeah, as well as quality control, limited runs, signed and numbered prints, packaging and goodies, etc.

Not sure if I want to do printify but I might take a look at it if is the only option.

Yeah the tariffs are also rough, doesn’t seem like the infrastructure is a proper solution if the end costs turn out to be expensive. Feels like something you gotta wait out to see what happens

Cristian @cristianpintos.com · Sep 2

No worries :) hope things turn out well though for you guys regardless of what happens!

Where are you selling from? Also I thought of Print on Demand but I was looking forward to full control of everything, including quality control, unboxing experience, etc.

For sure, my pov feels like such an insignificant part in whatever happens next for the US, but crazy that even I saw myself affected 😅
Maybe this is temporary, we’ll have to wait and see

I was in the middle of setting up a print shop and our National Mail like the rest of Europe suspended shipping to the U.S for orders below $800 🫠

The timing is hilarious, anyone else experiencing this as consumers or sellers? Thoughts, options, words of comfort😅, anything to keep me company...

I use a lot of platforms and even the ones that feel dead like Dribbble. Is only uploading so I don't mind.
But Behance has been a good platform for me, owned by Adobe, hand curated projects, and it was often seen by big clients. Doesn't feel that way now, but I still like it.

Thanks! This blue combination felt nice, I also did a purple that I liked… for the vault

Cristian @cristianpintos.com · Aug 21

Is owned by Adobe so I like it better than ArtStation. There’s curated projects which used to lead to good projects so it’s always worth a shot to post there. The format is different though than image to image and more focused on projects instead.

Thanks! Also that sounds so cool.
I'm still in the middle of organizing my store so I don't have anything at the moment. But if you want to print one of them out yourself send me an email and we can arrange that :)

Just published my latest project on behance. Small collection of a few illustrations I did to try a few things out.

If you can follow the link and leave a like then maybe just maybe, more people will see it over there 😅

Thanks <3

Surreal illustration, fishes drifting in the air around a plant in a vase. Illustration in the shape of a portal.
