The more people speak out, and shine a light on her business practices, the better. She is just stringing everyone along.

She needs to be investigated.

This video saved me thank you! Pro tip watch out for so called “art agencies”

Not to be mean, but girl, why do you hold an empty mug and pretend you drink from it 😅 you articulate with it so much, that if there was anything in it, it would’ve been all over you 😅 I just couldn’t concentrate on anything else to a point 😆 nevertheless, thanks for the video!

I ended getting an advanced diploma in graphic design and basically had no luck in finding work related to it. I currently work part time for a municipality and they occasionally post graphic design jobs, yet every time I apply I get no responses. :( I’m going to keep trying, but it’s just very disheartening. I do like illustration way more though and now I’m working on a portfolio for it. Tip 2, 3 and 5 are great! Thank you so much for the video, it was really helpful! ❤😊

I bought into it then too! But got out when the shit show started.

Kristina Hulkrantz had shared her experience with nerida as an agent, and she said that she and 5 of her Swedish designers were approached by nerida to be represented and she asked them to pay for their Surtex booth but during the event, she didn't represent them at all, and she has done nothing to them, didn't bring any licensing deals or anything and kristina was actually warning people from the patternfield and asked artists to wait and see how it unfolds, we all now know, it's just a s scam. From what I have noticed, nerida always plays the victim and never takes any accountability for her actions, sad!

It seems this company has supply chain issues. In this type of business models, the client payments are used for running the company. If the fixed costs for running the company are too high or suppliers'payment terms ill negociated, there s no cash generation to cover working capital requirements. If there s no cash reserve, the treasury issue will be difficult to tackle. Statistically, when there are treasury issues, a company can run into bankruptcy within a year. I am not saying this can be the case here, but there are certainly points of attention. Is there a public rating available in Australia for companies? Or any obligation to publish financial statements? A quick check could bring comfort to clients.

Thankyou for your video. It’s good to hear some facts about Patternfield. I’m a home sewist who is owed about $250 of fabric. It won’t break the bank but my trust in NH fabrics has certainly been destroyed. Even through the pandemic I was able to visit the NH store in Ocean Grove and pick up my orders. I loved having good quality and creative fabrics available at my doorstep. It’s difficult to believe how a successful business has come to this. My longest order from 5th Jan and promised by the end of Jan 2024 has been part fulfilled but still some outstanding. No subsequent order has been fulfilled, despite numerous promises.

I subscribed after she was featured in a module of a course I was taking at the time 🙃 as soon as I logged in I thought…yikes I get tech startups go through a messy period, but as a developer I could tell it was a weird retro fit of something never designed for purpose. It would need a complete overhaul to ever be truely useful and I wasn’t going to pay a monthly fee until that happened

Yes I subscribed early to Patternfield...despite my first intuition about this person in question. Silly me!!

I am the person who started the facebook group two weeks ago - and it has indeed been a roller coaster of a shit show - she is definitely the gift that keeps on giving. Yesterday I sent out a reminder to people to keep requesting their refunds and this is what one disgruntled customer had encountered that afternoon; I just called the number and Nerida answered. She said she couldn’t give me any information about refunds as it’s in ‘someone else’s’ hands. She refused to tell me who that ‘someone’ was and then went on to assure me the refund would come asap. When I asked when to expect the refund she replied ‘I can’t say as it’s in someone else’s hands and they’ll be in contact . When I told her that customers were angry and upset about no fabric/refunds and how could she open a new business when she owes so much money Nerida replied ‘there is a lot of misinformation online’ thanks for making this video and for spreading the word about this fraudulent business operator!!! Keep fighting the good fight Maree

I went to one of her sewing workshops and on meeting her in person she reminded me of the others I’ve met through my creative career so after that day I didn’t trust her. I didn’t act on anything but something told me not to bother ordering from her. I think creatives need to start speaking out much more instead of living in fear because too often we are being ripped off. I don’t know about other countries but here in Australia creative people have very little protection or recourse.

I’m a ‘retired’ graphic designer and I burned out from the industry because there are too many people like Nerida in creative industries. So many dodgy practices. I had to fight to be paid and in Australia, our industry is not regulated at all so I experienced exploitation and harassment in the workplace. It was horrendous and I just can’t ever work it again.

Have you had any bad experiences with Nerida Hansen or any of her companies?

Artists: we were over-promised something, we paid for it, and it was never given to us! Gamers: First time?

Thank you so much for this, I received and offer on some of my paintings as NFTs and thought it was too good to be true!!! definitely a SCAM From:

I'm glad I came across this video. I was offered 6ETH for three of my sketches and was considering it. I researched because it felt too good to be true, and I found this video. It sucks that there are people that take advantage of artists. Thank you

I love that you explained how to fix the colors scanned by the scanner by confronting them with our analog painting. However, I wonder if fixing colors in Photoshop is enough, since monitor calibration could also be a factor, and when I send the file to print, I still could not get the colors like in my analog painting? lol I also thought it's very cool and smart to use the dodge tool for the background texture, I never thought of that!! And I loved the channels tip to select line artwork in a way that we don't get any whitish outline because of the transparency, REALLY cool!! Thank you!!

What if I want to post a model wearing a shirt with my designs on it on Instagram?🙏🏼 Or what if someone took a screenshot in the reels video and managed to get the design? Please help me thank you🙏🏼

A bona-fide NFT Broker will _NOT_ talk price first... He will first speak of art/crypto process and legal proceedures!

Slow down the flipping through the book.

I had one today 🙃

I want to write and illustrate my own children's book

Most of them use fake accounts, and most of them are from India

Yes girl, that's me, I feel that !

👍👍👍

So I am a traditional artist I do watercolour and mixed media I have thousands of pieces of work and I’m wanting to license I’ve bought a very expensive camera now thinking I have to scan everything licensing companies not take a photograph at all ?? I can’t seem to get into my scanning settings to set the dpi I’ve worked so hard on getting all of the photographs and editing is a nightmare is it okay to use procreate any advice would be fantastic examples of my art on my KZbin channel many thanks and much love for this information xx

I was literally just wondering about this today and then this video dropped lol 🤣 I have a Canon printer/scanner (Pixma) but haven’t been able to get it to work for me. All the scans turn out so dull/desaturated ;_; I’ll have to keep playing around with it or invest in an actual scanner

Maybe I just got lucky with hashtags, but I genuinely think I found a set that works for me and my art. Based on my analytics, 70-80% of my reach is solely from hashtags, and it averages about 1000 views per post. Which I know is not crazy huge, but so far it works well for me and is my main source of reach.

I got offer 2 eth for 4 pices and his telegram is verified probably easy to get verifyed í need to gas fee the video so at least 230 euro . After seeing this video i think im not continueing thanks Btw i got sent massage on tiktok

If I wanted to do illustrations for children's books, both my own books and books not mine, what should the portfolio graphics look like? And how many things I could put

I’m 24 and recently started researching illustration and I really have found most of your videos very informative and helpful. One thing I’ve really taken away is finding an illustration style for a portfolio can really make or break a career. It’s really inspired me to start illustrating my own books to find my style and also use them as experience to get contracts. Not going to lie you might see me join the boot camp later😂🙏❤️

You know, I also got an offer in insta saying, they want to buy 5 of my art in NFT for 5000 dollars each. I said I do not know the process and did not confirm. So glad I found your video today, it's very informative. I will straight away block them. 😂

Hey! I'd appreciate an answer to this. Ive been asked to aell my art as NFT , but when i mentioned not being able to pay the gas fee , so the person offered to send me money on revolut so i could pay it. The site he said i should do that on Metamask. Because he offered to pay it , i feel this is pretty legit , but im not sure at all :c

isn't there any way to sell my art for thousand of money?

Thank you for the great video :) wishing you a beautiful week! And to answer your question, the only contract I’ve signed was with a friend’s relative who wanted them to recommend an illustrator. I did one advertisement illustration for them. Best wishes to you and to all of us artists :)

Thank you so much for not using AI.. i was really getting sick of everyone suggesting that 😊

I think God directed me to this video as an answer to my prayer. Someone reached out to me last night about they like my artwork (which is not an NFT yet!). I told tha jed him and told him once they art had been converted to NFT, I would be open for the offer. I came on KZbin to do more research on NFT's when i found this video. Thanks🙏🏻

Minting NFT is really expensive hahaha

How long does these processes usually take?

I started out in a community college in visual arts. Personally, I did learn a lot from taking classes and I would have not learn on my own, however I learned a lot after college as well. Udemy has many good art educational classes.

Thank you, Ness! I would add, looking at my friend with formal degree in Art - she grasps everything faster than me, has confidence, knows the lingo, and has connections in the field. Since she tried many mediums and techniques she is faster with figuring things out. And if I am quite timid when it comes to a large project, she is not. Like you, I learned Procreate on my own and slowly learning Ai. Ps and Affinity Designer.

I've taken classes from various art schools which were offered to the community on a one time basis live on campus, this way I could pay as I go and only take the class that interested me. I've also had good luck because my local library subscribes to several paid online subscriptions which allows us to take software classes for free as long as you have a library card. One of these online services even had a class by an artist on how to make money from your art which actually was quite interesting and detailed!

I attended community college! I was a Fine Arts major there, and I learned a lot from the different classes I took. We do have an art school here in my city, and back then I wanted to go there, but it was just too expensive. In the end, I went to community college instead and I don't regret it. My instructors were helpful, and I learned a lot when it came to traditional painting, drawing, and working with 3D materials too, and I really enjoyed it. Even before that, I took a few summer classes when I was a kid where I learned the basics of Photoshop. Those were a lot of fun.😊Looking back, I'm glad I didn't go to art school because I can only imagine how much debt I would have been in by the time I was done!

I did illustration in Belgium ( so luckily this didn’t cost me much ), the only useful class was life drawing. and in illustration class it self they gave assignments and just let us work on it in there, and you could come to them but to me they only said that my style was “too commercial and not experimental enough “🙄. so I’ve quit in year 3 and didn’t get my bachelors. Did a course in a vocational school in concept art that was very good tho.

Wow, I just dropped out of art school, so this is perfect timing!

Did you go to art school? If yes, was it helpful? If no, do you feel like you struggle more as a self-taught artist?

Hi 🙋‍♀️I’m an artist in Kansas City that has been asked by an author to illustrate her book. I was totally shocked & excited. Now, nervous. I don’t know even where to begin. Any suggestions would be helpful.
