art studio vlog ✿ first shop update as a full-time artist!

[@MeganWangart]

Ok so I know this won’t work for everyone but how I do it is I don’t do art stuff during non “work” hours! I designate 10-5 or whenever I finish what I have to do for a certain day M-Th as work time and outside of it I just don’t work at all! I know not everyone works well like this but for me treating it as a job I clock in and out of is what saves me from overworking and having a life!!

[@KatieMai]

Thanks megan!!! Yeah, I've been trying to stick to working the 9-5 hours that I'm used to, but then I get so engrossed with what I'm doing it's hard to cut off and step away from my desk!!

[@waliyouuu6758]

The dog growling at the "I hate the men in this book" is such a mood

[@nikithaminaj2567]

i love the little bits of humor that is sprinkled across the video, even in the editing omg

[@paoladoodlestv1328]

THE CAT WASHI THOOOOOO SO CUUTE!

[@micaela.herrera]

My work from home routine as a full-time graphic designer is I give my self a commute by getting to a coffee shop by 9am to work for a couple of hours. Then I go home, eat lunch and take a nice break. Eventually I get back to work and force myself to stop at 5 even if I don't want to. Yes-- I spend a lot at coffee shops but it helps me get outside/ get novelty, feel productive and I just include the costs into my monthly budget. This helps me not feel super confined to my desk.

I'm a fulltime vendor and my best markets are the local ones that are year round on certain days. Typically I do 3 markets a week and you're able to build a nice following that way. People are crazy about local farmers markets. They will even come out in the rain (which I don't like to work) .

[@theghostegg]

I can't wait to see you in NY!!!!

[@caitik]

Omg when you said “who closed last night” I literally laughed out loud 😂 Also, congrats on getting into the art market!!! So exciting!!! 😆😆

[@KatieMai]

LOL i think that every time I wake up and my room is in shambles and then i miss my barista days hahahahah

[@anushkajain9857]

Heyy, could you please do a video on how to price your artworks / prints or any custom art products and any tips and recommendations on how to do so?

[@fayla8127]

omg i’m reading that book, i need to join the book club 🏃‍♂️

[@dontstopmeoww]

Very cozy and relax💜 thanks

[@techniclr941]

New subscribers here! Love your art and vlog. I always aspire to be an artist, and your video really inspire me to start that first step towards my dream :3 Thank you!

[@hbcbvdo]

I deffo have difficulty stopping work when I’m working from home. I actually automated my lights in the office to turn off at 5pm to jolt me out of work focus, so maybe having an alarm or indicator pre-set to know when to stop work will be helpful to you as well! That and keeping yourself accountable by stopping when you say you will, I’m guilty of not always following my own advice. 😂

[@KatieMai]

ohh thats such a good idea!! im hoping now that it’s winter i’ll force myself to stop once the sun sets 😂

[@BorrowedYourHeart]

Just discovered your channel recently!!! Love your channel! Can you do a video about copyrighting your work and the process behind starting your art business? ❤

[@susanaojeda5507]

im not an artist, but your videos give me so much peace! Enjoying your work very very much. new fan here

[@Lilstarnerd]

SUCH a good video!! making yourself stop work when it's literally staring you in the face in your own bedroom is SO tough and definitely takes time to figure out what works for you!!!! good luck bestie!!! also so sorry to hear about your grandpa, hope you're doing okay!!!

[@melinamejia7]

Im enjoying living vicariously through you while watching this video 😊 my goal in life right now is to switch over to full time art one day. You’re so inspiring!

[@myfieryass]

i love the aesthetic of the video! hope things will turn out good heheheh

[@icedmatchalatte._.]

omg im late but i loved the book the unbearable lightness of being! i read it this year in my french international literature class and i think it's now one of my favourite school books ever! would recommend you go read a couple of analysis' on it afterwards though so you can understand the varying layers of complexity it holds!

[@antoinebertrand8771]

Hello ! I love your washi taps ^^ where do you print them? 😸

[@CandiWare]

Hey Katie, Found your channel in my suggested page last week and I couldn't get enough of your videos. Watched all your videos so happy to have found you. Now the problem is I have watched all of them! Anyways I don't comment that often but I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful work and keeping me company while I draw.

[@BaileytheIllustrator]

Eeee where did you get your washi tape printed?? They are SO cute

[@heycrisper]

The “Who closed last night?!” just had me laughing. Thats such a opening barista thing to say 🤣 (current barista of many moons here and new sub!) Love watching your vlogs so far. ❤

[@nathalieparker]

for winter you should do like a sweater weather theme with like animals wearing sweaters lol

[@aidan3834]

I wasn't quick enough on getting one of the loopy cat bowls, so just fyi, i would definitely snatch up your ceramics in the future 👀👀👀

[@chiaradc5637]

This was so enjoyable and inspiring to watch 🥰 cheers on the full time art life! All the best!

[@linsaraillustration]

Love the washi. Beautiful vlog😃

[@Gray__Abyss]

Man. thanks for sharing your journey with all of us. It’s really inspiring to watch this in real time :)

[@azzuparis]

I love your vlogs and your art so much ❤

[@alyyuriko]

Wow I love the washi tape! I got the cat cafe one😌 I’m so excited!!! ✨

[@drawninthefog]

To help with work/life balance whilst wanting to stay creative in your personal time, have you thought of having some projects or maybe having a specific sketchbook just for you and not to be shared with the outside world?

[@evaloayza]

Love it! You give me hope to be able to work on my own ♥

[@beth_hedley]

What printers do you use? I love the paper.

[@_vkcs]

yay! can't wait to see you in nyc 😊

[@KatieMai]

omg YAY!! see u there!!

[@fayla8127]

[@camilagrivicich]

Aawww I wish I was in New York to meet you but I'm reaaaaaaaly far away 🤭 hihihi anyway congratulations for everything 🥰 I'm loving your vlogs! they are being a huge inspiration to me!

[@yovitafritanabila8986]

[@kaylalian19]

Ooo sorry if you've mentioned this in another video but where did you get those containers/dividers at 12:00?? O: also congrats on becoming a full time artist!!

[@david_brazier]

I love your videos!! Also so sorry about the prints being printed on both sides!! I once had business card printed with no back haha it was the worst (but kind of funny haha) !!

[@peachyboba538]

What happens to the products that end up not perfect? Because a cute patch and some minor sewing can definitely fix and make it more unique for the totebag.

[@KatieMai]

i either give them away to friends or will put them up as B grade at a discount eventually! :)

[@jayshree7574]

i would love to buy some stuff from u but shipping is costly, love ur vlogs

[@Haromegaa]

You talking about the shipping costs- I go to check out your site and it costs $22 to send to Australia. Omg! that hurt my heart a lil.

[@KatieMai]
