Just thinking about plants 🪴

May has been hectic! Private commissions plus organising an entire cafe exhibition at @thesandalwoodshop on the way into Albany.

You can browse my work, read a little bit about my process and enjoy a delicious meal or hot beverage from the cafe while you peruse. They'll be displayed until August 2022.

Every piece is for sale, however I'd suggest not waiting too long because they have already started selling!

✨You can also hit up my website at any time to buy my art in a range of formats and sizes ✨

This is why I’m not on Etsy

When researching the various online seller platforms to start selling my work I heard this discussion surrounding Etsy and their fee structure. Their blatant disregard for their users and the vague pricing structure ultimately turned me off attempting to use their site.

Buyers and sellers alike are boycotting the site from the 11th - 18th of April to protest the 30% fee hike (despite making record profits during the pandemic) and this petition has launched to get their attention. So you should sign it. Don’t let late stage capitalism destroy the creative market.

This feels like some sort of achievement. Seeing my art on a real wall gives me all sorts of warm fuzzies.

It’s all up at @loopedcafe so you should pop in for a delicious hot beverage and buy a print.

✨Positive Vibes ✌🏻✨

My partner made this comment about being blessed with a positive RAT test so he could have a week off work and I immediately envisioned it as a faux motivational (fauxtivational?) toxic positivity meme.

Will I put this in my shop? I dunno, maybe. Comment on this post if you think you would buy it!

All my other prints always available in my shop:

I was honoured to be able to do this custom illustration of my friend and her niece, whom she hasn't even met yet, as a secret birthday surprise from her sister over in Ireland. I had to work some Disney magic on this one to be able to create the connection between niece and aunty (from 5 different reference images!) I really enjoyed the challenge, and the resulting happy tears it created.

You too can make someone cry with my art. Hit up my shop to check out my work and put your order in!

🌿 PLANT OF THE MONTH 🌿

🌿 The humble Pothos 🌿

Understated houseplant staple since the first pandemic lockdown and beyond. Unkillable climbing vine that adds just the right amount of cottagecore, witch-hut-in-the-woods vibe to any room. Also poisonous to cats; so if your unruly housemates can't keep their teeth off your indoor forest, maybe buy this print instead.

I grouched the whole time about the number of leaves - and variegations - I chose to include in this illustration, but oh my goodness, isn't she gorgeous! Worth it. This print goes up to A2 size so you can really get to see all the little leaves and details I have included. It is up in my shop for you to hang on your walls right now! Right now!

Framing prints is so last year. Treat yoself to a canvas print of my plants instead. Become the plant-print-obsessed artistic curator you were destined to become.

Prints on Canvas

(bc we fancy)

Canvas prints are now available in my shop as a printing option on some art pieces and trust me, they are gorgeous. I ordered this one as a test and also as a gift and I'm stoked with the quality. They are a bit pricier then printing on paper, however they are comparable to framing and they are fancy as ✨ heck ✨

If you ever see a piece of my art that you would like printed but can't seem to find it as an option on my site, hit me up! I can make it available for purchase. I also hoard good suggestions for things to draw, so if you ever give me a good idea for an art piece, I might draw it one day!

ko-fi update

In 2021/22 I used the ko-fi platform to help kickstart and introduce myself to the concept of online art sales! I have since graduated to a website where you can purchase any of my work or order custom commissions!

Creating a website means that I can consolidate selling prints and commissions into a single place, and it integrates with my IRL sales platform. This means that I will be ceasing my ko-fi gold subscription when it ends in May 2022 to be able to focus my efforts on my website. I appreciate the ko-fi platform and what it has taught me about online art sales, so if you see this and you want to continue supporting me you can go to my site and use the discount code BUYMEAKOFI at checkout to get 5% off any of my art prints! There are a few up there that you won't have seen on ko-fi or here on my blog, so it's worth a browse!

I have a website!

I have migrated all my work to a website, and set up an online store where you can buy prints and order commissions all in one place! I’ll also be utilising this tumblr page more, as a place to blog about my life and important updates about my art, like upcoming exhibitions or website updates.
