Michael Sutherland Art
Back in 2024, Michael Suttherland made the leap from working full time in IT to becoming a self employed artist instead. Like many artists, that jump across the void from a regular salary to doing what you love, can be daunting, but he hasn’t looked back since. Early on Michael embraced social media, by sharing his art across TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook, and he has built up over 100,000 followers across the platforms, all hungry for his latest painting. When you watch his reels and posts, it is the fun he has and the ease with which he shares his portraits and landscapes and the vivid punctuation of colour that makes them so appealing.
With this success artists often start to look for ways of turning a much loved painting into an income. A best selling painting can also become a bestselling print, postcard or jigsaw puzzle and that is where we can help.
Michael chose 6 of his paintings - all vivid contemporary landscapes and cityscapes - that we turned into 1000 piece puzzles for him on a drop ship basis. That means that once he onboarded with us, he set the puzzles up as ‘virtual products’ on his website and every time he takes an order for one, the order comes across to us and we ‘print the puzzle on demand’ in 3 days and deliver it direct to his customer on his behalf. All proudly made in Britain at our puzzle factory and sent tracked delivery via our couriers.
Michael says of his puzzle collection “My six jigsaw puzzles feature some of my best paintings, perfect for putting down your phone and embracing a more mentally healthy activity.”
We always like to see a ‘collection’ of puzzles launch, rather than just one design, because when you have a huge social media following, eager for your latest merchandise, they will finish one puzzle and then look forward to ordering the next one.
