Shop Update - Redbubble

I haven't been updating my online shops as much as I should but I added a couple new designs to my Redbubble that I'm really excited about! I posted snippets and previews of my work in progress in my blog but I hadn't actually done anything with my designs yet. I did add a few phone cases to my Casetify shop, but I felt that I wanted to offer these lovelies on a wider range of products.

Freelance Life - Personal Work Vs. Paid Work

Sorry for the inconsistency of my blog posting recently. I've actually been pretty busy with client work (which you can never really complain about). Working on paid work is great but has presented me with a conumdrum. I enjoy sharing my work via my blog and social media accounts, but with paid work you usually have to sign a confidentiality agreement (thus no real posts about such work).

I actually am juggling a few job related things (that I sadly cannot share) so I thought I'd share a personal project I'll be working on as time becomes available. I have always been attracted to surface and pattern design. Even when I was little, I believe I was unconciously drawn to print and pattern because I really enjoyed looking at lovely packaging, stationery and greeting cards. I used to hoard my favorite cards I received on birthdays and holidays in a box. I still do keep our kids cards now.

This personal project I'm creating is a surface design collection. I've taken a few Skillshare classes (list below) to help me learn and understand what it takes to get into surface design.

Shop Update - Casetiy

I've had my Casetify shop up for a couple months now and I finally hit 5 sales! May not sound like much but for me I always see these passive income streams to be slow and steady.

These are the five designs that have sold thus far. I am always curious to see what my customers buy because I try to figure out what makes certain designs sell well and others duds. Usually, I create designs that I would love to buy or use. I know what I like and I hope that others share the same aesthetic too!

WIP Wednesday

Today is a quick post of a new portfolio piece I'm working on. I wanted to do something a little different, more fanciful than my last portfolio piece. Here is an initial rough sketch of my idea.

I wanted to do a piece that is more geared towards boys. I love creating fun characters so I had fun designing these scurvy sea dogs!
