Hi, i have a question i'm not sure if its ok to ask but will you be bringing back prints that were in your shop previously but are not currently or have you retired those designs?

Depends! Is there a specific illustration you're looking for?

Usually I restock prints that have been popular or I've been asked to bring it back on multiple occasions. Otherwise they are retired to make room for future designs since I have such limited space!

random question, are you interested in any games/shows? if so, what are they? from your art i feel like you would be into betty boop, raggedy ann and andy, things like that

I'm into sci-fi, drama, thriller and horror :>

My favorite tv shows are Hannibal, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, The Terror (Season 1), and Interview with a Vampire (series).

Currently watching Star Trek TOS and it's quickly becoming my top favorite!

Hi there! 🙂 I was wondering if you would be willing to share your Procreate brushes as well as any textures? 💕 It doesn’t matter if it’s paid or not. I would be more than happy to pay for anything. I’m planning to use Procreate for the very first time on my very first iPad, so I wanted to know what you use for Procreate. As a longtime follower, I find your art to be very gorgeous! 🥰

These are the ones I use the most! 💕

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do (-:

I've been wondering what the difference is between commissions and commercial work is for an artist, since I have seen several artists also with that preference.

Is it mostly an issue of pay? Of portfolioability? Ability to be confident the client will treat you professionally?

No pressure to explain! Feel free to just delete this ask if you're not up for it.

Sure!

To clarify, commercial work is when a client is expected to use the commissioned artwork to gain monetary profit directly or indirectly. Examples of direct profit would be using the artwork to produce a product like a print for their own business and selling it. Indirectly would be something like to use the art for their brands website banner, book/album covers, packaging, etc.

My own example: I was commissioned by There Skateboards to design a skate deck for their Spring 2022 collection.

There's multiple reasons why an artist might choose commercial over personal commission work:

clients typically pay a higher rate for commercial work compared to someone who is only using it for personal use

potential for a stable income if the client keeps hiring you for future work

diversifying your portfolio and showing future clients that you are capable of working on time sensitive projects and are professional

wider audience visibility on your work that you might have not been able to reach otherwise

The list can go on but I feel like these are the main reasons. However, there are some drawbacks like not being compensated reasonably, not enough creative freedom, too tight of a deadline, company doesn't align with your values, etc. I think it really depends on the artist and what they personally enjoy doing and what they would rather deal with since both have pros and cons just like with any type of work!

I was too late ordering the mermaid sticker and it's sold out :(

Will you be re-stocking it at some point in the future?

Yes! I did order a bunch since I noticed I'm running out. However, they'll be restocked online when my shop reopens again in January
