Design Inspired by Birds and Nature - Graphics for T-shirts
I have been traveling this summer. It has also been a time to explore, retrospect, look around and get inspired, with things and nature around me, for some of my designs. In my previous post, I updated about this design Flock of Flying Birds - Swarm of Swallows for Nature Lovers T-shirt. This graphic was designed for nature lovers and people who love birds. It presents a flock of birds, a swarm of Swallows flying.
As the inspiration for this t-shirt is birds and nature I thought of preparing a video along with the inspiration. Like we were discussing earlier, flying birds have also been a symbol of freedom and independence. This video on YouTube channel of A Blaze By SK is a humble effort to present the inspiration, design and the the t-shirt.
All this was executed during my travel and stay at different places, without any studio and on the go. I hope you will enjoy it and ignore the errors and shortcomings in this video compilation.
This design is currently available on t-shirts (more coming soon) in fits for men, women and youth/ kids in 10 colors - black, navy, royal blue, baby blue, cranberry, kelly green, dark heather, heather blue, purple and orange. These t-shirts are currently on Amazon USA, UK and Germany, and more regions should be added soon:
Flock of Flying Birds - Swarm of Swallows for Nature Lovers T-shirt: Buy on Amazon USA
Flock of Flying Birds - Swarm of Swallows for Nature Lovers T-shirt : Buy on Amazon UK

Please do let me know your feedback and comments. Would love to hear from you.

Conch Shells and Jansmine Flowers
One of the things I like doing is collecting sea shells and some unique pebbles at the beach. It is something like a souvenir. This is not a conch shell that I found. Although I did find some sea shells when I was visiting the Sandy Hook Beach, New Jersey, this one in the photo was found by a kid in our group and she was super excited to find it. I also found some Arabian Tea Jasmine flowers at her house. These flowers remind me of these fragrant and beautiful flowers around my childhood home. We all enjoyed the sweet fragrance of these flowers. Just posting a picture of the shells and flowers to remind me of the simple, yet, beautiful and fragrant things we randomly come across in nature.
What do you like collecting ?

A Blaze by SK on RedBubble - Print-on-Demand (POD) Shop
Print-on-demand or POD has become very popular in recent years. POD is a business model or an order fulfillment method where products are designed but printed or custom made only after an order is placed. Once a design is purchased on products like t-shirts, coffee mugs, art-boards, tapestry, coasters, bags, notebooks, greeting cards, puzzles, throw pillows, shower curtains, throw blankets and more, it is printed and shipped to the customer once there is a sale. The best part is that a product is printed only after a sale and the issue of inventory management of a specific design is reduced. Within the POD model, there are different types of businesses that have been coming up. I was interested in exploring the POD space, too.
I had been working on T-shirts, knitwear, apparel design, product development, manufacturing and sourcing for many years. For most part of my career, I have handled products myself, be it in jobs or as independent artist, freelancer and design entrepreneur. After I came to US, I started exploring more of the online avenues. I started uploading my art on online art galleries like Saatchi Art, Vango, Fine Art America. Later, I also started exploring print-on-demad sites like Merch by Amazon, Zazzle and RedBubble to upload my art, designs and digital art.
I have been writing about my designs on Merch by Amazon. One of other the print-on-demand sites that I have been busy setting up is ABlazeBySK.redbubble.com. RedBubble is a print-on-demand website where you can upload designs to sell on over 90 products currently. My RedBubble shop is not just for T-shirts and clothing, but multiple products under the categories clothing, kids and babies, stickers, phone-cases, wall art, home and living, stationary and accessories. Click on the images below to see more of that design or shop.
What I like about RedBubble website is their presentation, mock-ups and the range of products to choose from. As RedBubble explains on it's About page, it was born in 2006 in Melbourne, Australia. It connects artists and designers with fans across the globe. No doubt that it is also very competitive due to its global reach, also the number of artists and designers who are already a part of this platform.
An Artist or Designer can open a RedBubble shop for free and upload designs, they can also choose the products they want the designs to be placed on. Once a design sells, RedBubble takes care of printing, packaging shipping. Artists get paid based on the royalty they have set for the shop and products. Artists do not manage inventory or the base product costs. Even my RedBubble shop is print-on-demand and royalty based with global shipping for a wide range of products. I did order some products and liked the quality.
Products can be shipped globally, unless there are region specific requirements. RedBubble does add separate shipping charges over and above the product cost, so you need to check for the shipping costs for your country or region. Once you add a product to the cart and the region, it shows the shipping charges.
I have different Collections on RedBubble and I also post some designs on the Facebook page and Instagram page of ABlazeBySK. In this post, I am just some designs from two of my collections. Do visit RedBubble shop of ABlazeBySK to see more designs and collections that I have been updating regularly.
- Sports, Games and Outdoor Activities:
- Mixed Media and Digital Art:
This collection has Mixed media and digital art created by combining hand-drawn or manual drawing and digital art, photo collage combined with vector, digital collages or images edited with colors and filters.
Do check A Blaze by SK shops on Amazon and Zazzle. More updates coming soon on the website of A Blaze by SK.

Freedom and Flock of Flying Birds - Swarm of Swallows for Nature Lovers
Freedom and independence has often been symbolized with flying birds.

These designs are created under Merch by Amazon account as mentioned in my earlier post. The graphics are designed and the artwork for the chosen product is uploaded and submitted for review by Amazon. Once approved, any product purchased is produced, sold, and shipped by Amazon and the Designer / Merch by Amazon account holder gets a royalty. The price listed on Amazon is not what the designers get, the royalties are a small percentage based on the price of the product.
I must admit that for a Designer, the process of creativity, designing, working with lines, colors, shapes, etc. it is what brings a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment. These are many who take this as a business and hire designers, too, when it is time to expand and grow the brand. As I work on these designs, I will be more than happy to receive your comments, suggestions, constructive critique or feedback. Do let me know if you think of anything to help improve the designs, any niche that you would recommend, custom designs that you are looking for, or a graphic you would like to see uploaded.
You can post a comment below, message on Messenger or send an email. Do like, share and follow on Facebook and on Instagram for more updates and new designs.
