Things That Are Better When a Digital Artist Does It
If you've ever opened a package and thought – Wait, this is too pretty to throw away, chances are a digital artist had something to do with it. More and more, we’re seeing digital artists put their stamp on things far beyond gallery walls — transforming everyday items into artful experiences. From collectible tarot cards to custom baby flashcards, digital art is making its way into our homes, feeds, and even coffee tables.
As platforms like Etsy, Instagram, and the DAB Print Shop make it easier to sell digital art online, artists are creating physical products that connect with audiences in new ways. We’re talking digital art prints, stickers, postcards, packaging, and even branded content that goes viral. And honestly? Everything just looks better when a digital artist does it.

1. Tarot Cards
When Stacie Ant designs tarot decks, ancient symbolism gets a bold and modern glow-up. She keeps the meaning, but adds punchy figures, so much personality, and a strong aesthetic that feels right at home in today’s visual culture.

2. Packaging
Let’s be real:
Nike without an artist = a regular shoebox.
Nike with Maxwell Dewunmi = packaging so gorgeous, you want to keep it forever as your memory box.
Good packaging design doesn’t just protect — it speaks. And when a digital artist leads the creative, the result is often something worth displaying.
3. Development Cards for Babies
When designer Elena Saharova had a baby, she went looking for flashcards and found… a lot of animals her newborn wouldn’t recognize. So she made See and Grow, a set of high-contrast developmental cards rooted in how babies actually see the world: abstract shapes, bold contrast, no distractions.
Thoughtful design meets early learning — training little eyes for aesthetics, from day one.
4. Instagram Posts
Want proof that digital artists drive engagement?
Dior teamed up with animation artist Annie Choi for their Mini Miss campaign, and her reel racked up over 1.7 million views. Artists don’t just make content — they create visuals with staying power.
5. Postcards
Take a look the postcards below – can you guess which ones were created by a digital artist? Exactly.
Laura Shepherd’s collection is a great example: psychedelic, fun, and distinctly hers. Artist-designed postcards like these let fans take a piece of your world home — and we love helping artists sell them.
