How do I set up an Artist Account?

To get started, let's add your name.

1. Go to your "ACCOUNT SETTINGS"
2. Under "Edit Profile," scroll to the "Profile" section
3. Enter your first and last name
4. Click Submit Changes at the bottom of the page

Here you can choose to show your user name or your real name. This can be changed at any time. 

Before making your artwork available for sale, you'll need to verify your email address. You should have an email with a link to verify your address in your email inbox.

Don't see it? Head over to your Edit Payment Details page. Double-check that the email address is correct, then click  Resend confirmation.

You should receive a confirmation email shortly.

If you don’t see the email within 1-2 minutes, look at your Junk or Spam folders.

If you want to open multiple accounts, each must be created with a different email and username.

Please read about our Upload Limits if you are operating multiple accounts.

If you're still having trouble, head to our Artist Request form with your Redbubble username and the email address you are trying to confirm. Our Artist Experience team is always happy to help you out.

You can confirm your mobile phone number by going to the  “Edit Payment Details” page under your “Account Settings.”

You should receive a text to the number you input within 60 seconds.

1. Click Edit Payment Details under "ACCOUNT SETTINGS"

3. Input your address details
   

   

To complete your account setup, go to your Edit Payment Details page. Then, under "Getting Paid," select the currency you wish to be paid in. Your chosen currency will determine if you can use PayPal or bank transfer. You will see the following options in the drop-down.  

When you’re happy with your choices, hit Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Now that you've input your payment details, it’s time to upload your designs!

For your Shop to be visible to the public, you must upload at least 5 pieces of public artwork and enable at least 1 product for each design. After uploading your first 5 designs, it can take up to 5 business days for your shop to be visible to the public in Redbubble searches and with direct links.

If you still need to upload 5 designs to your Redbubble Shop, your Shop will be private to you, and your customers won't be able to see your artwork.

Why not add more designs and some personality to your profile while you wait?

We suggest using an image, photo, or graphic icon for your avatar to help people recognize you across Redbubble. 

For best results, try using an image that's 100x100 pixels. No worries if you can't get it 100x100, our bots will do the resizing and cropping for you.

Cover photos are an excellent opportunity to make a lasting first impression and tell a story that reflects your style. Your cover image could feature an individual artwork, a collage of works, or even a dazzling shot of your studio.

You can add a cover on the Edit Profile page from your browser. Cover photos must be 2400 px wide by 600 px high and in JPEG or PNG format. To remove it, click Remove Cover. 

Be sure to check out your profile on mobile to see how it looks to fans viewing on their cell phones.

Here is an example of a cover photo in action from Featured Artist Maike Vierkant.

Check out Designing Eye Catching Cover Photos on the Redbubble Blog for more information on spicing up your cover photo.

You can connect your social media accounts to your Redbubble profile. This will allow your customers to follow you so you can better engage with them and market yourself on social media. 

To do this, head over to the Link to Other Sites page under the Artist Tools.

Your artist bio is a great way to share a little about yourself and your art. In 500 characters or less, you should try to include:

• Your location
• Your cultural identity or influences
• The type of art you create
• Your style of art
• Themes or topics related to your art
• Subjects or causes that inspire your art
• Big-name clients you've created work for

You can create or edit your bio in your Account Settings.
