Are you thinking about selling your artwork?  Many website developers and designers need high quality artwork, and while there are some free places to get them, sometimes the ‘free’ part of the quality abounds in those, making the process harder.  That’s where you come in, many people are willing to purchase your artwork in order to help design websites, programs, clothing, and more.

The problems are where to go.

There are a few graphics websites that I adore, from both the artist and the designer’s perspective.  They don’t cost much (or, in these cases anything) for those looking to sell their artwork and a lot of the harder parts are things they will take care of (pricing, marketing, etc).  While the go it alone route is great, at times it may payoff to have someone else to worry about the selling, so you can focus on the creating.

Depending on the types of designs you make, different markets may prove better than others.

For Images (Digital, Photography, ETC):

iStockPhoto: iStock is the primary graphics marketplace.  It seems that everyone and their uncle have heard of them.

GraphicsRiver: Graphics River is a part of the Envato market, they have a rather nice collection of websites directed at artists and coders selling their work.  Depending on how exclusive you decide to sell your work, you can earn more.

Threadless:  Your designs can win some prizes and earn you some money.

Spreadshirt: You don’t have to make apparel only, you can also sell your designs (for a fee you choose).

 Red Bubble:  You can sell your design on a few products (tshirts, cards, prints, and I *think* a couple of others).

If you have another place that you can sell your digital art online, post it up in the comments and I’ll add it in.  I plan on updating this post as I find more websites that focus on designs.
