I was contacted by a company called shopvida.com who wants my portfolio to sell as artwork to be printed on their products which seem to be clothing such as scarves, dresses, tees, pocket squares and so on.
Does anyone have any experience with this company and any thoughts on legitimacy, honesty, success rate, sales, commission, etc.?  Thank you for your response(s).

They have contacted me too. I have never tried though.  :)

They have contacted me several times starting some time in April. I was a little suspicious given the over-the-top tone of the praise for my work, but I asked a couple of questions via e-mail.

One was where online they saw my work - never got a clear answer - and the other was about royalties. They pay 10% of the net price, meaning any discounts or promotions reduce the royalty further. A $4 royalty on the sale of a $40 scarf seemed a bit low, especially as I'm not really clear if there's a market for clothing with stock art on it.

The person who does the recruiting doesn't appear to actually read the replies you send. I sent a reply saying that 10% sounded way too low and that they might do better with artists who didn't already license their work and received a reply that said "We're excited that you are interested in collaborating with us"

I do have a small trial set of work at Society6 and Redbubble, but decided to give Vida a pass. They've sent several more "invitations" since that exchange in April, all as if they'd never contacted me before
