What are Prints?

Prints are very common in the commercial world of illustration, and are a very good way for an illustrator to not only make some income, but for them also to get their name out into the commercial sector.
A wide range of illustrators produce prints, including some of my favourite artists.
Below I will display some examples of different prints, of different shapes, sizes, and styles.

I have bought quite a few prints in the past, and a lot of my illustration peers have also done the same.
It is a large market in the area of
Illustration, and one that would make sense to tap into.

It would be quite simple to make a print once a design has been assembled.
For example, once I produced a base illustration, I could use the method of screenprinting to make as many copies as I wanted, and put them up for commercial sale.

With the print room being downstairs, I would have very easy access to production, and it would be fairly low cost for me to mass produce.

There is a market for prints so it is a secure way for an artist to make income, in a way that is not very risky.
