It seemed when I started selling stickers, other sticker shops or small businesses in general were sharing posts with a map showing how many states they’ve sent orders to, trying to generate sales in states they hadn’t reached yet. Some would offer deals along the lines of ‘if you’re the first order I get in THIS STATE, you’ll get XYZ’ or ‘use promo code ABC’, etc. Cool concept, but not something I ever really promoted myself.

How do you create? 🎨 ✍🏼🖍💻 Do you draw on an iPad, or do you break out the pen and paper? Paint and canvas? Do you create digitally on the computer using Adobe software like Illustrator or Photoshop? Do you have a desk you sit at, or do you create curled up on the couch? Are your walls decorated, do you listen to music?

Focusing on when and where we feel most creative, what activities inspire our creativity and just overall getting to know yourself are great ways to start developing your art style!

It feels right that my first blog entry on this site is going to be about how I design and create my stickers, starting with my reasoning behind creating my own stickers and moving on to getting my designs print and cut ready.
