My iPhone 14 Pro is now being protected by a bookshelf.
My old iPhone XS is being protected by the side of a dresser.
What?!?
Yes, I paint dressers, bookshelves, tables, chairs, stools, lamps and lampshades, mirrors, all with my original abstract artwork ... and sell the item I paint.
Yet any painting, if I take a photo of it, can then also be turned into digital art.
And some of that digital art, if I take the time and care to manage it, can look great translated onto a phone case.
I recently took four of my past painted designs and did just that with them. Here's how it went...
~~~
After a first investment of time to establish a working relationship with Printify and a great US print shop, I tried out their South Korean manufactured cases, modified my designs to the case shapes for iPhone X through iPhone 16 Pro Max, in both matte and glossy (giving over 100 options!) and ordered samples.
It took a lot of time to manipulate the images to the sizes and shapes of the cases. Some of my paintings worked great for this. And some didn't at all, either because there were drawer pulls in the image, or because the pattern just didn't mesh well with the rectangular shape (plus the holes cut out of it for the camera lenses).
But in the end, I had four very different designs that I was happy with, so you can order directly from my website, as well as my Etsy store. It's better for me if existing customers order directly from my website. But Etsy can be good for introducing me to new customers.
But nothing was as exciting as getting the samples in the mail.
I am so very happy with these samples! The two main reasons?
One - the cases themselves are made really well - tough, sturdy, yet with enough bend to get the phone in and out.
And Two - the print job is FANTASTIC! I can't believe how good my designs look in real life. So much better than I had dared to hope.
Here's how they said it would look, and how the sample really looks, in my kitchen, at night, with artificial light - and I show you in a video here.
So if you are looking for a phone case for your iPhone, anywhere from an X to a 16 Pro Max, I hope you will consider one of my designs. You can select either matte or glossy finish. The size fit perfectly, snugly, and protect my phones very well.
Please ask any questions, and let me know what you think of the selection. And you can order them here, for yourself or a gift. Thanks for your support!
Also, is there any specific art you'd like to see me add to the collection?
