So excited to be giving the little Chihuahua a home. Your doggust prints brighten my day and bring a smile to my face. You're very talented, April. I know you have a bright art future ahead of you, and I'm proud to own one of your originals.

Yay! I just posted it at lunch so hopefully you get it soon :) Thanks for your lovely comment and all your support Lisa 🥰

I usually just take product photos on my phone 😄 also sometimes when I tried taking photos of my pins with my camera it would reflect the black of the camera cos my pins have so much metal. Sometimes I do run out of space on my phone though which is annoying. I like seeing a mixture of shop, art & life ☺️

I’m glad you enjoy the videos! I do get a bit done but I also have some weeks where I am too busy or a bit burnt out!

I love all your videos! I'm so glad the shop update is going well. And I hope life slows down a bit for you soon so you can catch your breath ❤️

Thanks Micaela :) I have been told that a lot! It must be true 😅 I also was very tired this week with my day job so I was probably feeling a bit less positive than normal

I totally understand. Each etsy listing takes FOREVER, photos, good lighting, measurements etc etc.

Yes! It’s so much work 🙈 Martin told me when I’m a famous artist he will do all the admin and website and shop stuff and I can just draw. So I just need to become famous and ridiculously successful so he can quit his job and become my assistant 😂

@@monkeymintaka this is my plan too! If I could only afford to pay someone to do all the other stuff, I could make art til my hearts content! I absolutely love your work, as well as your gorgeous playful art, I love to hear you talk about your life as an artist, all the aspects of fitting in all the other day to day life stuff, I totally relate! BTW, I had to go and check out your etsy store, it looks great, it reflects you. Playful and colourful and relatable. I had to purchase a few items, can’t wait to receive them. 😁🥳🤗

I just saw! Thankyou :)

I do love studio vlog and store content! But I think just including a bit of it in your monthly vlogs makes sense if you'd rather not do full vlogs, since it would be part of your activities during the month anyways. Congrats on your shop update, enjoyed the video and art as always!

Yeah I think that would be better, especially as I don’t make many products now so I have less to talk about. So it will be more designing the products and unboxings. Which is quite fun :)

I love both your art content and the studio vlogs. I enjoyed your monthly vlogs but I know they have to be Tim consuming to make.

The monthly vlogs are actually the easiest! I normally film and edit a bit every few days so by the end of the month it’s done! I really have so many ideas to make better content and videos but I run out of time a lot and end up making fast videos and not brushing my hair 😂
