What does it take to be an Uncommon
artist?
Your designs should tell a story, be intelligent, and show your creative individuality. We love to see new, original designs.
WHAT MEDIUMS CAN I USE?
Anything that will translate well to an iPhone case and people would want to carry around in their pocket or purse. We're big fans of color and experimentation, so don't be afraid to show us something new!
What we can do:
2D digital captures of your original watercolors, acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, collages, photography, digital art etc.
