So, a few people suggested I should put my work on a site called Spoonflower! I got some swatches and fabric in today, and it looks so cool! I got a yard of the Alice/Who design, but I can’t sew to save my life. I might try to find someone on Etsy to commission to make something for me. Here’s the link to my store there, if anyone is interested. :)

Karen Hallion FAQ

1. “What do you use to draw/paint with?”

Most of my work is digital these days, I use Photoshop CS6 and a Wacom Cintiq 21UX. In the past, when I have worked traditionally, I have used watercolors, acrylics, colored pencil, and tea. Lately, though, I have become addicted to Copic markers and ink pens. When I sketch, I use Prismacolor Turquoise, 2B and a kneaded eraser on either bristol paper, or illustration board.

2. “Can you send me a high-res file so I can print your design on a shirt myself?”

NOPE.

3. “Can I use your design as a tattoo?” 

Sure, just please post a picture on my FB wall so I can see how it turned out. :)

4. “Where can I buy your shirts?”

From Red Bubble:

 http://www.redbubble.com/people/khallion

(The Ariel/Doctor Who, and Jack Skellington/Who can be found here)

Or Society6: 

http://society6.com/KarenHallion

(The Ariel/Doctor Who, and Jack Skellington/Who can be found here)

From We Love Fine (Lucas, Marvel, Hasbro, Cartoon Network): 

http://www.welovefine.com/artists-partners/8832-karen-hallion#.UMfL4INQUms

Disney shirts at Threadless: http://beta.threadless.com/product/4303/Good_Form

Maleficent and Nightmare Before Christmas coming soon….. 

You can also buy prints/posters, stickers, iphone cases, etc from some of those sites. The only place, however, you can get *signed* prints is from my Etsy store. 

http://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion?ref=si_shop

Currently, these sites only seem to have Iphone cases, not any other kind of phones case. :(

I do frequently have shirts for sale at “Shirt-a-Day” sites, where the design is available for one day only at a reduced price, sites like Tee Fury, Yetee and RIPT. 

5. “Where can I find your ‘Come Away with me” (Cinderella/Doctor Who) design on a shirt?”

Only at Threadless:

 http://www.threadless.com/product/4075/Come_Away_with_Me

If it sells out of your size, there is a “request a reprint” button. 

6. “Where can I find your “Adventures in the Great Wide Somewhere?” (Belle/Doctor Who) design on a shirt?”

I might have good news from Threadless, more information as I get it….http://beta.threadless.com/threadless/adventure-awaits/

7. “Will you make a shirt out of the ‘You Comin’, Blondie?’ (Rapunzel/Doctor)?”

It is available here, on the Vlogbrother’s site: http://dftba.com/product/14q/Rapunzel-and-the-Doctor-Shirt

8. “Do you take commissions? Do you take requests? Suggestions? What are your rates?”

I am pretty booked, and can’t take on any commisions right now, sorry! I actually get a little uncomfortable getting suggestions, because I don’t want to take anyone else’s ideas, and I have so many of my own right now, I am drawing as fast as I can to make them happen. Occasionally, though, I will post works in progress, and ask for input. :)

9. “How do you draw copyrighted characters without getting sued?”

A lot of my work is licensed, through We Love Fine (Lucas, Marvel, Cartoon Network, Hasbro), and through Threadless(Disney). Other work falls under Parody/Fair Use.

10. “I am wondering when my shirt will arrive? “

The ONLY printing/shipping I handle is my Etsy store. All the other sites that sell my work (Red Bubble, Threadless, etc) do that themselves, so you should contact them if there is an issue. 

11. “Is this your full time job? “

Yep. Crazy, huh? I used to be an elementary school art teacher, but I lost my job. Now, I freelance from home full time. I spend all day in my PJ’s. :)

12. “Are you going to any conventions?”

I will be at C2E2, in Artist’s Alley, and Boston Comic Con the week before, and Pax East in Boston (as a guest, not an artist). I am also looking to add a few more to that list, I am not sure which ones yet. Possibly Stan Lee’s Comikaze. 

13. “Do you have a Deviant Art/Tumblr/Pinterest/Instagram etc?”

Yep, I am EVERYWHERE.

14. “Did you go to art school?”

Yes, I got my B.F.A. in Illustration from Ringling School of Art and Design, in Sarasota, Fl. 

15. “I am an artist, can you give me any advice?”

I get this one a LOT, and I always try to answer when I can, though sometimes it takes a few days. It’s been over 15 years since I graduated from art school, and it has taken a lot of work for me to be able to make a living freelancing. Some of the thing that have helped me, other than hard work and not giving up, are joing an artist’s group and learning from the talented people in there. Sub work to companies you want to work with, and when it gets rejected, do more work and sub it. Just keep moving forward (advice from Walt Disney). Use social media. Learn the best way to use it, and USE IT. It’s free advertsing, and it works. Find artists you love, and study what they do, and learn from them. Take advice and critiques, ignore the haters. Draw what you love, not necessarily what you think will sell. Help out other artists when you can. 

16. Will you put your work on Spoonflower?

I am working on it. :)

17. Why isn’t the Doctor’s hand reaching out of the Tardis in every Disney/Who design you do? I feel strongly that I do not want to show more of the Doctor than just his hand and sleeve. I want to leave it up to the viewer to decide which Doctor is in there, though for me, there is a clear choice. But, I am keeping that to myself. Spoilers! Anyway, sometimes, when the Tardis is at a different angle, I can’t show the Doctor’s hand without giving away more, so I keep the door shut. :D

Good news! My “You Comin’ Blondie”, is now available as a shirt! It is selling at DFTBA.com, a website that belongs to the Vlogbrothers! I was really excited when Hank Green contacted me about this. It is also available as a poster. :)

“Falling” by Karen Hallion

https://www.facebook.com/KarenHallion

The “Whovian” retrospective. When I first did the Cinderella, I never expected these to be so popular. Yet that resulted in my first Threadless print, a big goal of mine this year. I love doing these, and I am so glad you enjoy them, too. Here are the ones i finished this year, and some works in progress. :D
