What is the name of your state? Ga

I am working on a product which I intend to sell via my website. While it would be considered original artwork, I also intend to offer a customization of this artwork to client specification. Some will be produced en mass while others will be produced per specific request.

I'm quite confused after doing preliminary research. From what I understand (if indeed I am understanding) the products that I produce en mass would require a patent while the customized items would require a copyright. Is this correct? Or would a trademark cover my products as they are all my original concept/work?

The products are a combination of graphic and print work if that makes a difference. I suppose the closest example I could provide would be articles like calendars or note cards.
