About a year ago, I started uploading some of my designs to Society6, a nifty service that lets artists and photographers go from "I have a digital image on my computer" to "Anyone can buy this image as a print, or on a shirt, or mug, or whatever" pretty much instantaneously. While it wouldn't be quite accurate to claim that I have my own line of clothing and accessories, you can nevertheless choose from about a hundred of my designs in a wide variety of formats, if you feel like it. Check out https://society6.com/waltergreenleaf and keep an eye out for new designs in the future. As of the 22nd of September, 2017, I've been publishing a new one every morning.
At the present, I only receive about 10% of all Society6 proceeds for my work, but I'm not using Society6 as a way to cash in. For me, coming up with patterns that have a potential practical use is a great way to flex the creative muscles, and knowing that anyone who happens to take a liking to them can actuate that potential is the icing on the cake. At the end of the day, what better outcome could there be than my grandma getting to wear a shirt with a pattern made from photographs of the sunrise she took herself? Now THAT'S a collaboration!
