February Update Blog ✨ (Patreon)

Hello and welcome to a new Update Blogpost!

I think I haven´t posted any of these since last year, oops...

February flew by sooo fast, I can´t believe it! But I finally can say that I got back to my regular working routine after being sick at the end of December and the beginning of January and then struggling to get back to working the full month of January...

Buuuut now I´m hardly working on new products and am also sticking to uploading weekly YouTube Videos 🥁

New Products

So yesterday I ordered the first batch of products from Vograce.

I reordered the strawberry fox keychains and mousepads!!

I know a lot are waiting for these, so now you are the first to know that they are coming back very soon!

Then I also ordered a new keychain and mousepad with this design:

I´m also planning to make a full series of animals with fruit plants illustrations and products, so this is only the beginning :)

Then I also ordered my first ever A5 notebooks, but only 10 pieces to test the quality of them. They will have dotted pages and also a bandage and ribbon.

I just realized that I forgot to put my logo on the back. So good that I only ordered 10 😂 So as you can see there are still lots of mistakes that happen when you have a small business for a while. It´s always a learning process with every new product and improvement to your business.

And then I also ordered my first acrylic paper clips and lanyards:

I´m really excited about how these will turn out as I never made paper clips or lanyards before. Especially the lanyards because I don´t know if the design is big enough. 

I also experimented a lot with new brushes and coloring techniques for these products as I want to simplify my drawing process for sticker sheets and washi because you just can´t see the details on such small products.And it also takes me aaaaages to draw a single sticker sheet, that´s why I make them so rarely.

So for this year, I want to make way more sticker sheets, also outsource a lot of them and for that, I just needed to adjust my coloring process. 

New Tiers starting March

Also, in March I will release 2 new Tiers. One for a sticker sheet only Happy Mail and one for Fox Mail (Print & Sticker) with sticker sheet. 

I also already made the sticker sheet design for this first month :D

I still need to write the Tier description and illustrate Icons for them but I plan to release them this weekend!

Life Update

This week was super warm and all the snow melted, it kinda already felt like spring. But we should get snow again this weekend... and although I know that you love to see me posting about the snow, I´m already so sick of it and am wishing for spring 😅

I was on a lot of walks to soak in the sun and warm weather before it gets cold here again. 

I also started to cook fresh meals again, which I´m veeeery proud about. Last year I was eating a lot of processed food which is very unusual for me. I normally enjoy it a lot to make fresh and healthy meals. But last year was so busy that I had to focus more on my business. 

So I think this year started kinda good. Even though I haven't got any client work until now.

Also if the Creative Club and above Patrons are interested in an "Income Streams as an Artist" How-To Article, let me know in the comments! 

And that´s it for now! I hope your first two months of 2023 went veeery well and you could be creative and enjoy life!

Wish you a cozy evening!
