Illustration does not simply have to be a flat image, it can be taken into everything. I myself see products as part of my future as an illustrator, I want to sell my work on everything be it clothing or crockery, skateboards to ballet shoes I plan to explore as many sellable angles as possible.
Here is a site I know of where some of my favourite illustrators sell there work on products.

The artists include Kim-Anh Nguyen, a creative and tattoo artist working from the famed Salon Serpent. She creates beautiful pieces of artwork in a traditional tattoo style but adds tropical imagery and colours to give it a new and more interesting look. Below is some of her work as shown on products. (fig1,fig2)

Another artist who's work can be seen on the site is Drew Millward(fig3), another of my favourite artists. I first discovered Drew years ago when browsing a clothing site, He had created a figurine toy(fig4) in his awesome drawing style and it grabbed my eye straight away, leading to me find out more about him.
This shows that creating products to sell as well as artwork is a great way to gain noteriety at the very least... Lots of money if your lucky!

Also showcasing her amazing talents on that site is my favourite artist at the moment and one of my favourites of all time, Angelique Houtkamp. Also working from the famed Salon serpent Tattoo shop in Amsterdam, her work has always grabbed my attention and I will make sure I get my hands on some of these plates!(fig5) She sells book prints and other products and is very good at getting her work out there and receiving a good reception
