[@ianpdrews121]

So glad the letter got there okay and you like what I sent. Once again a huge thank you for the content you create, it's really inspiring to watch your journey :D

[@minniesmall]

Thanks again for reaching out Ian :) Really made my day!

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you so much for sharing info on your printing process! They look stunning! Loved how chill this was ❤️

[@janay__9826]

Doodle Date ❤️ My other favorite channel!

[@arsey1833]

Oh my goooooddd is this Steph or Adam?? Love both of youu

[@mpsensha]

Thank you so much for sharing your mail opening. So many artists to be discoverd!

[@jenniferwang817]

Watching this closely after watching Austin McConnell’s “ink cartridges are a scam” video. Completely changed my view of printers after that!! Sooo happy to see you with a new video, I’ve only found you recently and have been binge-watching your whole channel ☺️

[@vinylhedgehog5574]

oh, same! came from his ink cartridge video. I suppose we have the same taste in youtube videos.

[@TheSailorTenjou]

Gosh, your videos are like a breath of fresh, cool air. Calm, chill and soothing. Just what I'm looking for. It doesn't hurt that they are quite informative as to how an artist's life is.

[@bybun]

Minnie!! So glad you got the package, and thank-you for sharing it in your monthly vlog video!! As always, thank-you for everything you do here on KZbin. Love your work and channel…xoxo.

[@LeySketch]

Thank you so much for talking about your set-up for prints! I have the XP-830 and I never even thought of trying to do prints with it. You received so many amazing things in this video! And from so many awesome artists I'm going to have to follow. Thank you for sharing!

[@littleravendesigns5587]

Woman you are living the dream! I appreciate your honest videos, also your voice is soothing!!! Can’t wait to see more! Keep up the amazing work!

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I’ve missed you! Thank you for the info on your printer. We always forget to factor in the upkeep on printers, which is where they really get you. Especially if you are using lightfast quality ink. Also, thanks for all the links and beautiful mail you’ve received. For some reason I didn’t know about yourInstagram account. I paused the video and followed you there. Happy Easter to you as well.

[@naysworld]

Thanks for this video, and how cool of you to bring awareness to testicular cancer, your the best!!!

[@mystlady85]

Awesome! It's cool how you make your own prints. You seem to have a handle on how a printer works and the layout of it. Thank you for sharing the package that I sent you. Wasn't sure that you got it. Really sweet of you. Oh and don't worry about messing up my name. You got it right the first couple of times. Thank you, Minnie 😊 Glad you liked it. Love your art and vlogs. 👏👍

[@asirrisa7615]

Awesome as always! watching your videos has inspired me to become a little more organized in my everyday life and so far i'm loving it! so many thanks for that haha

[@areefakhan8032]

I love the weather in this video, isn't it just the best to paint and draw in cold weather with a nice cup of tea...

[@sopl33]

loved the video! I got way too excited when I saw the Molotow markers! I bought some back when I was doing GCSE art and I've always loved them but I've never actually seen or heard of anyone else using them, so so excited to see the awesome things you'll create with them!

[@keilamarciel]

DAAAAAAMN GIRL! That intro! 🔥The videos just keep getting better and better, love watching you progress! 🌻

[@WildPortraitArtist]

yaaay I am so glad you covered this, really cool getting an insight on how you make your prints :D

[@ctclockwise]

omg all the love in the letters are just.... so heart warminggg!! your live is so beautiful and full of love darling, keep being awesome :)

[@AnitasDreams]

What a treat today to catch this video. I appreciate all your work. You have inspired me to try to sketch. Keep up the good work!!!!

[@aathompson19]

Thrilled to have found you, watching you is like a breath of fresh air!!!

[@leeniedee2049]

Thank you for the shout-out Minnie :) It's really neat seeing that sketchbook and calendar out on the other side of the world. Glad you enjoyed them :)

[@AndraMarieArt]

I always get so excited when you update! I always look forward to your videos.

[@minniesmall]

Thank you :) 💕

[@ornellaospino8460]

This was so helpful oh my goodness thank you for taking the time to do this!!!

[@OrganizedPlannerChic]

Thanks for sharing all the art you got in the mail. It was lovely to see. Your printing tips were also awesome; I never thought about going as high as 600 dpi.

[@Eviepie280399]

Love your videos so much ❤️ so inspiring!!!

[@missmarksart9288]

I just can't get enough of your editing! You're amazing - and such an inspiration for my youtube videos

[@AllisonLyonArt]

Thanks for sharing your printing process! Love your vlogs! ❤️

[@paulalancaster1]

I subscribe to hundreds of channels and, Minnie, your videos always refresh me with their lived examples of making your living by giving your creative side the lead role in bringing money into your life. Also, your voice is very pleasant to listen to.

[@tombuck]

This is cool! I like the way the printer tray comes out automatically. I just got two large format Canon printers at work, and they’re awesome. Printing photos/artwork is a totally different experience than interacting with it only digitally.

[@aranamissy2688]

The Enthusiasm Project what are those printers 😨 I’m looking for the best quality for illustrations

[@nicoleraine6156]

I love your videos and the information that you share. You have really helped me with my process and I really look forward to you popping up on in my notifications. Thank you!!

[@niqichui183]

Thank you so much for sharing your process! It's such a huge help for people like me who are just starting out.

[@b.roselinekelley4684]

Aww. Through the way you speak it just shows that you have a great personality.

[@SunsetBeauty15]

Love these videos Minnie !! Can't wait to see you develop your work as yo mentioned x

[@Eizu23]

The way you progressed in editing your video is inspiring!! I like the style, especially those small bts 💖 love you!

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! Love you too!

[@VeronicaViccora]

fantastically helpful girl! Thanks a million for this!

[@MsPoliteRants]

Love your wall shelves!!!

[@withneama]

Such a good video! thank you for sharing your advice!

[@alfiefryatt334]

i love your videos soooo much!! thank you for being my go-to youtuber xoxoxo

[@sage4566]

New video sooo hyped

[@gontledidi3456]

Minnie Small you are my inspiration, love what you do ❤️❤️❤️keep up with the good work💃🏾

[@lunamond7783]

So thankfull right now. Really missed your videos the last few days. :)

[@minniesmall]

Aw thanks! Glad to be back!

[@louismorroghbernard2613]

FINALLY THANKYOU MINNIE

[@EliseLeBlanc]

Ahh, the cracking fingers at the end! XD I always wince when people do that, haha. It was fun seeing everything you got this month! :)

[@RoseAngella]

'Hodge podge' 😄 Give me more. Loved watching you and what you have to say. I'm not artistic at all and it fascinates me how people like yourself produce such lovely stuff. I'm off to check out the people you've mentioned and turn green with envy at their talents. 😁 💜💛

[@minniesmall]

Ahh thank you so much! You're so lovely!

[@aebeatab]

So, I work as a framer for a local craft store in my state and I think it's great that you use archival paper because it does last for hundreds of years and is so much better for your artwork!

[@stillaroundart]

This is incredibly helpful!

[@ninamaaranen5255]

Another great video! I'd love to see you use the new marker set in a video (and live vicariously through you) :)

[@buumanvuong728]

You were gone for a while and I started to notice and being worried. Glad you’re doing pretty well. Keep up your good work.

[@minniesmall]

Thank you :)

[@marielagalvan2292]

I love watching all your videos

[@RealBlackEssence]

Ah, my Ms. Minnie! It's always such a joy to see that pretty smile of yours and seeing you so happy with all of the sweet gifts you were given! You really are worth it and you are such a blessing to me and others and you'll never know the measure of just how much! But, speaking for myself, I genuinely care about you and look up to you and it's all because you are YOU! You're a great young lady and I am so glad that I get to witness you grow in your greatness! Never change, Minnie!

[@minniesmall]

Lovely as always to hear from you Whit :) Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine all the time, you are so incredibly caring! 💕

[@minniesmall]

Lovely as always to hear from you Whit :) Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine all the time, you are so incredibly caring! 💕

[@RealBlackEssence]

Thank you so much, Ms. Minnie! Only, it's God working through me and I love when He leads me to certain people that not only will bless me, like you have greatly, but that I can, through Him, bless right back! I'm so, so thankful that I found you, Minnie! You're a true jewel!

[@kroseillustration4536]

I JUST bought a printer so I got so excited to see this video!

[@noamyamin8014]

Love your videos

[@sophieartemigi6516]

This was such a cool video! I’d love to see an art video with the molotow paints I hope she does one 💖

[@dianebishopdesigns]

Those acrylic pens look really good, I'm interested to see some more art created with them. Right now I'm waiting patiently for my Kickstarter rewards for the Sketchbook of Loish to arrive. It will probably take a while to make it over to Australia though.

[@dan-gy4vu]

"Fun" fact: sometimes your printer wont print because of the reason of "insufficient ink supply". This is a lie. Your ink cartridge still has a lot of ink inside it. You could reset the ink cartridge i think so that the printer will accept it again.

[@alessazoe]

Depending on the printer model, there’s also an option to ignore "empty" cartridges that you can tick right in the menu. I loved this on my HP printer, so I didn’t have to trick it.

[@ShamilaArt]

Yaay new video ^_^ Happy easter!

[@ShamilaArt]

Diksha Pawaskar this is spam man, don't do it.

[@JohnSalmon]

I don't believe how you cracked your fingers in the last few seconds of that video Minnie. RESPECT!

[@minniesmall]

😂😂so gross but so satisfying! I can't help myself lol

[@stephanie.kilgast]

Thanks for the printer details. I was wondering if the ink you use is also archival? because just the paper isn't enough from what I've gathered? Also I've been wanting to get molotovs for so long! So slightly envious right now! ^^ Might need to just buy a few!

[@lilyguest8186]

I haven’t even watched the video yet but.... I LOVE THE VIDEOOOOOOO

[@aspen.coloradx]

thank God!

[@davicigal8154]

Try Epson L1800, I change the ink with art paper ink and use it for printing 260gsm paper, art print and double side print for wedding invitation

[@dulariparmar3091]

“Minnieeee where were you??” I spoke this at my phone when i saw your upload😛♥️

[@minniesmall]

Hehe sorry! I'm here!

[@talithabotha5594]

I enjoy these lengthy videos so much! It feels like I'm hanging out with you or something

[@minniesmall]

Aw thank you! Glad you like it!

[@junelopez9520]

Hi Minnie, check out the Epson Expression Premium ET-7700 EcoTank All-In-One Inkjet Printer, it's a perfect machine for you and will save you money and pay for its self. It prints up to 11.7 x 44" -uses large ink reservoirs instead of cartridges to hold more ink - I love your channel - great place for inspiration​

[@miriampippaart4960]

Awww at first I was just excited that you were sharing how you make art prints and then I saw that my letter/art was in this video 💖 it's surreal to see you open it and your response makes me so happy! I appreciate your kind words so much! Thank you Minnie!

[@minniesmall]

Thanks again Pippa 💕 I feel so lucky to have some of your wonderful work here with me :)

[@miriampippaart4960]

Minnie Small 😇💖💖💖

[@b.roselinekelley4684]

And thanks for sharing

[@romanoscuro339]

Happy Easter! I have the same model of Epson printer. Looking for more art from you.

[@BeautyButterflyLove]

ohhh is that the new loish sketchbook i spot in the background??? i absolutely adore her and your art its so weird to think that my favourite artists can also be fans of each other :D

[@thepochade5992]

Like GOUACHE IN MARKERS !!!! 😲❤

[@irisflower4366]

Really enjoy your videos and comments. As artists it's always steps and perseverance. Keep growing and being conscientious of your artistic journey =)

[@DelayaBriscoe]

Looking for a photo printer is a good tip. Didn’t even cross my mind but an HD photo printer would mean a good quality art print.

[@lilbitofeverythin6894]

Minnie uploads a day before my birthday! Yeeet

[@lilbitofeverythin6894]

Juicy Fruit its tomorrow and im so advertising this on every video lol

[@taylorb.3014]

Happy Birthday!!!!!!! I hope all of your wishes will come true!

[@emilyf8139]

icon for hire x flyleaf i

[@lilbitofeverythin6894]

GoldieLox thank ya

[@minniesmall]

Happy Birthday!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@kailynbecker6756]

hey, I have a question. I just bought the Epson EP 960 printer and whenever I use the scanner, or even just print from my iPhone the colors don't match the original at all. how do you get your images to come out like the original?

[@marielagalvan2292]

I want to see your new art supplies

[@NovaCastillo]

Hi!! I’m having issues figuring out where it shows what DPI a scanner uses!!

[@Tutankhamun18Reads]

those molotov markers look lush! will u please do a review/ demo of creating a piece with them? :)

[@minniesmall]

They're amazing! I'll definitely be using them in a future video x

[@jenniferstevens937]

question how long lasting is the ink and how many pages do you print before you have to change the ink

[@tifflambert7164]

i was hoping to find out how to create prints from my artwork

[@HP-bv9nb]

Thanks so much for your videos, they're always so useful and inspiring 😊 I'm wondering whether yourself or other art people in the comments know of any useful resources to find out how to properly pay tax on art sales you make. The government website (UK-based) is really not helpful for someone who is full time employed and therefore already paying tax automatically through that, and would like to know what to do about paying tax on art sale profits that are outside of normal income! If anyone has been through this and knows the score it would be so helpful! Thanks xx

[@kob-11]

Hello, If i may ask, how many prints are you able to make before your ink runs out ?

[@judilynn9569]

It was snowing in March! eeek!

[@thomaslance9447]

Yaaaassss, first 😁

[@sarahh6862]

Can your printer 🖨 allow for A3 scanning? I'm looking for a printer that allows more than A4 scan. Thank you ❤

[@sporespud10]

PLEASEEEE DO A VIDEO WITH THE ACRYLIC MARKERS!

[@minniesmall]

I'm sure I will do at some point ;)

[@greyareaRK1]

I assumed you used a service for printing. Good to know, and thank you. Curious where you are with digital painting?

[@minniesmall]

Still very much getting to grips with digital painting. It's hard having an idea of what I want something to look like but not quite knowing how to execute it. Lots of trial and error but I'll get there eventually :)

[@s-wo8781]

What's that purple thing you're wearing called? I want to buy one.

[@danniespokes4083]

I don't know if anyone will know but my scanner is refusing to connect to photoshop, it is turned on and prepped as usual but it says it's not connected (but it is), I can scan with the app it comes with but the quality is somehow worse and is only scanning 1/4 of an image for some reason. Unlikely but anyone know the way to fix this?

[@gonecoastalfl]

Hi Minnie, I'm in the market for a printer for my stickers and art prints. Are you still happy with your Epson 960? Do you find the ink cartridges affordable? I know this video was done 2 years ago so wanted to see if you were still happy. Thanks for all your info! :)

[@lyndamelnicove8896]

Damn. Snowing on April 1; I thought New England was bad:(

[@karahnovak8122]

You said you might want to check out something similar to Deviant Art... I keep hearing about a similar program called “Art and Drawing Amino”... I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard really good things, does anyone know if it’s good???

[@Regna]

Been designing some cards and my prints came out terrible, panic stations !! No idea about printers

[@yoonmincankillmeinstantly6193]

Can anyone recommend me a good printer? I'm planning on finally buying one.

[@grainesdesauvages]

Thank you so much for your video! I'm currently searching for a good printer to print my artwork. Are you still happy with yours? Thank you :)

[@justthoughts8872]

600dpi and above for the scanner..

[@everythingisnand]

KZbin work is also work. Keeping that in mind is very important in order to avoid burnout.

[@minniesmall]

Yep I factor that into my 'work time' too, don't worry x

[@everythingisnand]

Minnie Small I'm glad to hear that! Though I probably should have been clearer on that that's a general advice. A lot of artists forget that the art making time isn't the only work you do and they need to count that time to their workdays too. Maybe you could talk a little more in depth about this topic in a video? :)

[@LarsVision]

Has bouls? Lol!

[@JSpindale231]

I’m so sad I can’t get those pens here in the US. 😔

[@damajewels3606]

Check on Amazon. I saw a set of 10. Expensive though!

[@Longthakyd]

I love watching your videos but I'm just wondering why you don't post more often ?

[@NippaMoon]

KEWL SHARE,,, I use my printer for transfer papers,,, so still working out the best to have for that purpose.

[@Discipol]

There's quite a bit of static sound in the background O_o

[@zinkadu]

What's it all about?
