flying my shop across the country?? ✨ art vlog & renegade sxsw prep

[@alphonzosolorzano5011]

Miss those lovely 2nd hand/art flea market spots we could find in cities back home. Back in SF, CA we had a spot called Scraps in an industrial part of town. Fill up a brown bag with stuff @ a fixed price. Living overseas in a small city, nothing like that even exists here. Don't take art supplies for granted😉

[@oliviagentles2756]

This video is giving me confidence to do digital art

[@ohhi.marisa]

Absolutely loved the positive talk about art progress taking time! I've been spending a lot of time recently looking back at past work for this exact reason. It's crazy to see how your style and skills grow with consistent practice! This was another lovely video! 💕

[@rukiye4773]

I was very happy to see the happiness on your face when you tried your new products. they are soo cutee🥰🥰

[@friesfairy]

You told exactly my thoughts about skills and art, like 5 minutes before the video I was slightly crying (😂) because I can’t make art from my head, but watching you and other small creators here really gives a boost of inspiration and confidence, thank you ❤️

[@KatieMai]

omg 🥺 i believe in you!

[@friesfairy]

@@KatieMai thank you, i appreciate that ✨

[@isabelledebionne]

Loved your comments on art skills! The quote from the book really resonated with me too, especially as a self-taught artist. Also, your t-shirts & totes look great! 😍

[@sierratokl]

good luck with your sxsw sales!!!!!!

[@Lilstarnerd]

THOSE SHIRTS!!! Katie you are KILLING IT!!!!

[@KarliinaAnna]

[@suolaneart]

i adore all the green in your art

[@dainkimart]

cute T-shirts!! can't wait to watch your next video on market!❤🌈💜

[@Falconxr8]

You inspire me so much to work on my own art, but gosh I struggle. I feel like I never make it past the sketch phase and it's so disheartening that I can never develop my own style or art. I love watching you and your unique shop and style grow and bloom. I hope one day I can accomplish what you have ❤

[@Christina24life]

I don’t know if say this too much but I love you art so much. You’re the best

[@azzuparis]

I can’t wait to see how your setup will look like. I will never get tired of saying this, I really love your art! It’s colorful, it’s fresh, it’s cute ❤ And I love watching your videos. The totes and the t-shirt are beautiful !!

[@Aquailan]

You should watch Ira Glass's talk about the Gap- basically the same gist articulated in the quote you read- the gap between taste and ability as you develop your craft.

[@Danielle-ek4es]

Congratulations on hitting 50k!!! And good luck at the art market 💕

[@sailoricq]

just in case u plan on doing more art expos across the country, I believe I saw somewhere that it's better to have all the items you want to sell in your carry-on as its not likely to get lost when you ship them. The same thing with larger baggage, that stuff can sometimes get lost or not arrive in time. So yeah, definitely bring the items you plan to sell in your carry-on.

[@tofugoob]

EEK SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!! Lmao I hope this is me someday pickup T shirts instead of being in work meetings lmao you are my inspo. THE SHIRTS SO CUTEEEE!

[@sincerelyceline]

I’m obsessed with your studying illustration footage 🥹❤it’s so so so inspiring GET IT GIRLL🎉🎉🎉

[@flosoris]

I love your vlogs!

[@tofugoob]

Selfishly I am so glad u made a green shirt cuz my blue hair will stain white shirts lol

[@sketchbookscheming]

Good luck at SXSW -- how cool!

[@deborahmeyers551]

Your art is on another level awsome 💜

[@mariumahmad3355]

Can you please link the etsy display things you bought

[@Ermemilymarlow]

This is absolutely awesome! This video was so much fun watching! Quick question, what brush were you using on adobe illustrator I just can't seem to get a good feeling for them, and the one you were using flowed just so well!

[@lucianesilva8579]

Amei tanto tanto tanto esse vídeo! Fiquei emocionada com a parte do livro, larguei a arte a anos… e agora quero retomar e ter coragem de viver com ela! Obrigada por esse vídeo. Me inspira ❤

[@fiorenzaart]

Love the tees! 🫶🏽

[@KatieMai]

aw thank u!

[@ashleywhiston3]

What software or app were you using on your tablet at the beginning of the video to draw the flowers? Is it vector based? Love the vid ❤

[@Fiendishgleee]

What illustration books are you using for learning? Love your vids, you always inspire me and make me smile.

[@KatieMai]

i have them up on my amazon storefront! Drawing for illustration by martin salisbury and History of Illustration (this one is more art history)

[@Fiendishgleee]

@@KatieMai thank you. I must have missed one.

[@choiisi13]

What app were you using to draw in the video? Love your art 💓

[@KatieMai]

[@annaalexa4296]

New video!!!

[@KatieMai]

[@Lisasplace]

[@KatieMai]

YES U HEARD RIGHT

[@VimblesArt]

I'm not sure but i think something went wrong with the sound editing in this video, the music seems way too loud it's becoming like... crispy i don't know the word for the noise this makes when it hits like the maximum ;3;♥

[@katelynmcmanis8514]

katie your videos always inspire me so much!💞🥹 i’ve been in a burnout funk for a while but all the new amazing things you’re doing make me really want to get back into it!
