Month: August 2023

If it looks, acts, and sounds like one… is it?

My scanner evidently hates colored pencils, because the horns and eyes turned out pretty good, and the sky and grass lost some color and coverage.

On another note. A few weeks ago one of my aunts asked how much I make on Redbubble, and since I’ve only had one sale during covid to one of my brothers, I didn’t know. Since then, I have looked at it, and I figured I’d share my answer here. Everything I have on Redbubble is currently at a 20% markup/artists margin, and the prices you see on there are the base+20%, so I would make .45 on a 2.69 sticker and 57.49 on a 344.96 metal print. I even went and made myself a spread sheet with a lot of the numbers and if it rounded up or down by less than a cent.

I think I was pushing myself a little to hard when I started Redbubble, so it’s kinda on a back burner right now. However, if I make something and you would like to see or have it on something, let me know and you might see it there!

Hope you are all having a wonderful time, and stay safe out there!

I’ve Melted!

It got really hot this week! We were in the hundreds since Sunday, went to 109°F on Wednesday, then dropped down to 93°F on Thursday. The week before that, the highest was a 91°F. So the weather threw me for a loop. Some people I know really enjoyed it, and I’m really happy they did. I think I handled it pretty well. It did cause a can of seltzer to pop in my dad’s car while I was driving it, which made it smell like a baked good for a while awhile.

I was also scared to make a drawing during this time, because I wasn’t sure how the heat would affect my pens, and had a hard time finding an answer to that. I have found some answers to related things, and it seems like it might ok… I suppose it’s one of those “try it and see” things that I’ll do at some point.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, stay cool, and remember to stay hydrated!

Pets?

Cute=1

The creative energy was a bit weird this time. I had a lot of it, and plenty of ideas, however the stuff to make them the way I wanted got misplaced. So my enthusiasm had kind of left by the time I got to this.

The day before this one, I spent about 5-6 hours on a piece, not cute or creepy related, that I’ll add to a post later this month.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
