    I totally prefer voice over to captions. Sometimes I set up videos on one screen while working on another so not having to read text is always a plus!

    I loved the video, Alex. That's a great and inspiring collection of books you have there. I'm low-key jealous that you got Kenichi Sonoda’s Gallant at Half-Price Books. I'll have to shop there more often. Keep up the awesome work.

    Miffy is a Duth childrens rabbit character. The original name is " Nijntje," but for the international public, they call it Miffy cause it is easier to pronounce 😊

    I've noticed it in other videos but now that it's the star of the show I can confirm that I have that same shelf. I use it to hold my inventory but the plants look really good on it.

    I just got caught up on all of your vlogs. I love how you focus more on the behind-the-scenes of being an artist beyond making art itself. I entered 2024 at a point in my career where I am "done" making things for now and am focusing on setting my up online shop and connecting with retailers, so it's nice to see someone doing similar stuff instead of just drawing all the time.

    Aww thanks! I do feel like I have so much stuff that I've drawn or created, but I'm still learning how to get it out to the world lol Nice to know that others are doing the same! If you ever have any questions or need suggestions, let me know! I try to share as much in the vlogs as I can lol

    hi! i was at the berkeley market - saw your booth, got your card, subscribed to your channel! i only have thoughts and not for-sure answers about the low foot traffic, it definitely felt barren when i popped in. i was going for head west, i was getting ads for that market, knew i was gonna finally get to it (the other times they were in berkeley, i had something else booked). i went onto their site, researched the vendors, made a list of what booths to check out and a to-buy list. i was also stopping by that neighborhood for a yarn event down the street. i did not know about the market you were at. even googling it now, their december 9 event doesn't show up. i know that they have makers row and that the vendors rotate out, but i thought it was just those little buildings next to the cafe, not the parking lot, so i definitely browsed instead of bought since i didn't know what was around. your booth was definitely cute and eye catching, and had a big crowd inside it when i stopped by. looking forward to your future videos!
