Your Art, Our Canvas: Join the MIMOCASE Artist Collective

At mimocase, we believe that the most beautiful designs come from true creative passion. Our mission is to transform the everyday phone case into a portable gallery of stunning, original art. We're searching for talented illustrators, designers, and artists who share our obsession with exquisite aesthetics to join us in a partnership that celebrates creativity.


Our Vision: Championing Independent Art

We started mimocase because we were tired of generic, mass-produced accessories. We knew there was a world of incredible independent artists creating breathtaking work that deserved a wider audience. Our vision is to be the bridge between your studio and the world. We handle the technical details—premium printing, durable case manufacturing, global logistics, and customer service—so you can focus on what you do best: creating. By joining the Collective, you become a core part of our brand story, helping us deliver unique, art-driven products that stand out from the crowd.

 

The Partnership Pathway: How It Works

We've designed our collaboration process to be simple, transparent, and rewarding.

(Step 1) Submit Your Masterpiece Share your best original designs with us via our artist portal. Along with your artwork, tell us the story behind it—your inspiration, your process, your passion. Our curators want to understand the vision behind the visuals.

(Step 2) Our Curators Review Our dedicated curation team personally reviews every single submission. We're looking for unique style, technical skill, and designs that align with the mimocase aesthetic. This process typically takes 5-10 business days.

(Step 3) We Bring It to Life Once your design is approved, our work begins. We meticulously adapt your art for our range of high-quality phone cases. We then handle all production, inventory, marketing, and worldwide shipping, showcasing your work to our audience of over 120,000 daily visitors.

(Step 4) You Get Paid & Gain Exposure For every case featuring your design that is sold, you earn a commission. We provide you with a platform to gain global exposure, connecting your art with a new and appreciative audience.

 

Your Rewards & Rights: The MIMOCASE Commitment

We believe a great partnership is built on trust, respect, and transparency. Here is our commitment to every artist in our Collective.

 

You Own Your Art. Always.

This is our most important promise. You, the artist, will always retain 100% of the copyright and ownership of your original work. By partnering with us, you are simply granting mimocase a non-exclusive license to sell your design on our products. This means you are free to sell your art elsewhere, use it for other projects, or license it to other partners. You have complete control and can request to have your designs removed from our store at any time.

 

Transparent Earnings: A Simple 10% Royalty

We keep compensation clear and simple. You will earn 10% of the final order amount for every product sold with your design. There are no hidden fees, no confusing "net" calculations, and no complex margin settings. If a customer pays $40 for a case with your art, you earn $4. It's that straightforward.

 

Massive Exposure 

Your art deserves to be seen. The mimocase website attracts over 120,000 art and design lovers every single day. We will feature your work on our platform and through our marketing channels, providing you with a powerful opportunity to grow your audience and build your personal brand.

 

A Gift For You

As a thank you for joining the Collective, you will receive one free phone case featuring your approved design, compatible with your personal device. We want you to be able to hold your collaborative creation in your own hands.

  • Why was my artwork not approved? Our curation team reviews many submissions. Non-approval can be due to several reasons, including technical issues (low resolution), a style that doesn't align with our current collection focus, or a potential violation of our originality policy.
