Celebrating a big step and terrified of the next!

I don’t know if the pictures will
Post to the thread.I finally combined a few spot illustrations to make prints! And then made the prints. I turned it from a project to a product! Hurray!
Next step is a table at an big event this weekend. It’s a fundraiser. Which isn’t nearly as much pressure. The money will go to a friend of mine and her family. It’s still scary since I have never ran my own table with my artwork. And for commissions I’m painting people’s favorite ice cream flavor, or food. We will see how it goes. Fingers crossed!

You should examine the licensing market. These images could be used on a variety of products.

@whitney-simms These are great! I am sure you will have a great turn out. Best of luck!

You guys are so nice! Thanks for putting wind in my sails! It's hard to remember that "our value as a person is not predicated on people liking the stuff we create." Best of luck to you guys too!

The event was awesome! They raised tons of money for my friend. Her little guy is at the end of all the available treatment options for his cancer. They made lots of fun memories that night with the luau and we were able to show the family how much we love them.
My art table... no one really bought prints. I don’t think they were thinking about kitchen decor that night. They bought the note cards like crazy and I was always 3 deep in commissions. Dolphins, unicorns, blue race cars and of course ice cream. It was an ego boost for sure. It felt good to create with a purpose. Even better to know when you want more than anything to help, you did do something, even if it was just a little.

So happy to hear that the event went well, although it's a shame to hear that the prints didn't sell well, but glad to hear the other things did. If you don't mind I would be interested in seeing some of the commissions you worked on at the event!

You are an awesome human being.

@whitney-simms commissions seem to do really well at shows. I was apart of a two day con and was one of the only ones doing commissions the first day, and I was constantly busy. Then the next day everyone around me was doing the same thing
Congratulations on the event.
