FAQ's & NEVER ASKED QUESTIONS

CURRENT SHOP INFO- (This is a website ran by an Australian Artist) 

Right now I have external ways to shop my fabric designs through third party businesses via my website SHOP link as well as an ETSY shop for my OOAK original Artwork. Please note that these are not transactions that will be made via my Antayjo Art Website but are reputable organisations I choose to list my Art with. Each organisation has their own policies and differ from this site. 


Please email me if there is something you are wanting to purchase directly from me (Eg- A original artwork etc) that is not listed or if you have a voucher or discount code you are wanting to use. I can arrange a PayPal invoice in these circumstances. 

 

SERVICE RELATED ENQUIRIES STATUS - 

Business Licensing, Custom Artwork and Collaboration enquiries are welcome anytime. Limited commissioned artwork may also be possible. (See below.)


DID YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME? 

Yes Super Slueth I did! 
My surname has changed since mid 2024 so you will now see me referenced as Kernick. It doesn’t affect me too much though in terms of confusing people as I trade under my business name- Antayjo Art.


WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF ‘MUCH’ FOR FREQUENCY OF EMAILS THAT YOU WILL SEND YOUR SUBSCRIBERS.

Here is a secret for you.

I only started sending emails just before I relaunched my website.

Nothing annoys me more than being bombarded left and right with updates daily or even weekly, even if it is a brand I like. 

This is why I pinky promise not to do that to you!

My definition of- I won’t bother you ‘Much’ is roughly 6-10 times a year if that! (It is much more likely be less!)

It will only be to share some eye popping news or to offer you something for FREE or a DISCOUNT CODE. 

I also won’t be annoyed if you unsubscribe, but it won’t be because I am bothering you too much.

ARTWORK INFORMATION-


CAN I GET YOUR ART ON MY PRODUCTS?

Yes, Yes you can.

Please see the section related to LICENSING

I even have a more comprehensive Pattern & Illustration Library available for approved registered businesses to browse, please send me an email with a brief overview of your business to access

 

CAN I COMMISSION A PERSONAL ARTWORK? 

Yes, I do take personal Commissions but my offering have changed over time due to a focus on design licensing. 
*Please be aware that dependent on current projects there may be a wait list for work to commence. 

Please see the COMMISSIONS section for more information as well as the main point below.

 

WOULD YOU EVER CREATE REALLY MINIMALISTIC ARTWORKS BY COMMISSION OR FOR LICENSING?

Nope, Nada, No, Nooooooo!

I am all about the details in my personal and commissioned artwork! I don't do plain blue abstracts with a sliver of white. I just don't feel like an artwork is me if i am told exactly what i have to create and if lots and lots of details are not allowed.

 

 

I NEED A TECHNICAL LOGO AND OR BRANDING IS THIS A SERVICE YOU OFFER?

No, sorry.

This type of design is a specialty area of which I am not accomplished (Formal Graphic Design) I actually have my own branding/business cards & logo professionally done and I can highly recommend having someone who knows and enjoys what they doing, do it for you. If you are after Statement Illustrations and Patterns that could be used on marketing material that is more my thing!

 

 

DO YOU OFFER WHOLESALE?

No, sorry….not sorry. I did dabble in my own product ranges briefly but am now focused on design licensing & collaborations to get my artwork out into the world. 


DO YOU OFFER 'SHOE/BOOT ART' BY PERSONAL COMMISSION?

I no longer offer boot art to personal customers but I do however offer design licensing to personal customers so they can have a personal commissioned artwork printed onto footwear themselves. (Or anything else for personal use only.)

Boot Art commissions are limited to business collaborations for display/promotional and my own purposes to promote my artwork style as I focus my attention to design licensing in this space. 

The only personal commissioned shoe art I would consider going forward are for past customers that have purchased wearable art.

 

CAN I SWIM IN MY SHOES & BOOTS WITH YOUR ART ON THEM?

Ummm, No.......

" Wear 'em or display 'em like a prized ornament BUT whatever you do treat 'em like the OOAK art they are! In other words: Don't be kicking walls when your BF, GF, Hubs, Wifey, Kids, Boss, Neighbour....anyone really, that sends you into a spiral! Also it goes without saying doesn't it!? to not be diving into pools or walking on hot coals with these babies on!! (Not safe for you or your boots/shoes.) Just be nice to them, OK!?" In other words they are pieces of art, just not on a canvas and although varnished they are delicate and will wear like any shoe would. As I am not the maker of the boot I make no guarantees once worn. 

* The same applies to any wearable artwork that is hand painted. (Jackets, backpacks etc) 


 

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR T-SHIRTS PRINTED?

My T-Shirts (that I dabbled in briefly) were designed by me in Ballarat and printed in Queensland Australia.

The shirts were DTG printed on quality AS Colour brand garments mainly their cotton “Ringer” and “Maple” & “Staple” style T-Shirts.

I tested a number of printers and T-Shirts before deciding on a provider so if you need information please get in touch. 


 

DO YOU CUSTOM DESIGN T-SHIRTS? 

I license some of my existing designs for other businesses to use on their products as well as create new works for this purpose.

I can also create a one off design for personal use which includes the file of the design which can be used in unlimited ways for personal applications and one printed T-Shirt. Please contact me via email for a quote.


COPYRIGHT-

 

CAN I STEAL YOUR DESIGNS?

Ummm, hell no!

But seriously…..

All works are by Angela Kernick (Me! The artist behind Antayjo Art who is typing this.) 

Sale does not transfer copyright. Copying, reproducing or distributing my work in any manner without my written permission is strictly prohibited. (Not cool either!) Purchase of work (either print or original) does not transfer copyright, distribution or reproduction rights to you.

Included in this is my witty website content ....believe that!

* Full buyout is a different story but you will definitely know if this has occurred as there will be a big old contract entered into. I can however license custom designs especially for your business on a permanent basis under contract that states that I retain copyright but you are the only user of the design on an ongoing basis.

 

 


 

 RETURNS, POSTAGE & PACKAGING-

 

 

CAN I GET A REFUND OR RETURN FOR "CHANGE OF MIND" 

If there are any issues with an Artwork purchase please see the related policy regarding REFUNDS & RETURNS as this will explain timeframes that apply to purchases and when and if returns and or refunds apply. I will only refund in the event of damage on receipt not after any items are worn/ used or displayed. If the Artwork is not as described please let me know so that a resolution can be made. 

Please see the policy section of the website for more information on this.

I adhere to ACCC standards as far as Refunds and Returns are concerned.

 

DOES POSTAGE COST A FORTUNE?

I charge what it costs me in postage/packing and handling only or at times actually less.

Commissioned art is sent either by Australia Post or Courier and is insured to the value of the work in case of damage or loss as many hours are invested into your special pieces.

*These postage amounts are usually quoted individually. 


DO YOU POST OUTSIDE OF AUSTRALIA?

Yes. Kind of. At times there may be restrictions or sanctions imposed by postal services therefore this is subject to change. 

*Shipping is usually available to the United States but I do not ship to countries where VAT is applicable. (Tax related limitations.) 

NOTE- Breakables are not able to be shipped internationally. 

 

DO YOU TAKE CARE WITH YOUR PACKAGING?

Damn straight!

All parcels are packed with care & being an over-thinker I generally go way, way overboard with my packaging.

Original Artworks are mailed with a backboard and or a "do not bend" mailer to ensure they arrive flat, not trashed!

Canvas artworks are boxed and bubble wrapped to within an inch of their life.

Shoes and Boots are securely boxed. (Trust me!)

All other items recieve the same treatment so if your parcel turns up in shit condition....it wasn't me! Ha, ha.

 

DISPLAY/ONLY-

Some items I sell for example plates that have been upcycled may be listed as ‘display only’ as although non toxic products have been used they are not food safe. They are actually intended to be treated like a canvas or a print which means handling with care and not exposing to elements.
