A somewhat chaotic studio vlog

“Draw a fish’ “I don’t want to” 100% same for me with any assigned task lmfao

[@littletinyegg]

hahah same

[@aquietreality]

It’s because we’re all Rebels (if you take Gretchen Rubin’s 4 Tendency quiz. How we respond to inner and outer expectations. It’s fun to know yourself better. 😂

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

100% relatable about the commissions😂 I stopped doing them ages ago just cuz I’d get imposter syndrome and then I’d overthink it, wouldn’t know what to charge, hated the pressure of making something when the customer was super vague about what they wanted and then ask for more than one revision. Ugh. I just gotta do my own thing! I have massive respect for all of y’all that do commissions without sweating it!

[@littletinyegg]

hahah right?? sometimes I'm second guessing myself the entire process- which is why i don't do them very often! Thank you!

[@amandac8836]

3:27 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺♥️ That was the cutest thing I ever heard

[@littletinyegg]

right??? I die

[@amandac8836]

Haha I replayed it so many times

[@karacassano5495]

your vlogs are very calming, I luv them

[@littletinyegg]

ty! I'm so glad!

[@Lilstarnerd]

I’m absolutely IN LOVE with those figure drawings oh my goodness!!!!!! I love the colors!!! And the vibes and the composition and the poses omggggg i could look at those for a looooong time

[@littletinyegg]

Thank you so much Al! They were so fun!!

[@AliceDel]

your watercolor figure paintings are fantastic. the two female figures you showed side by side are really wonderful. just the right amount of visual information, but not too much. and your color sense is so great, as always. earlier in your vlog i thought it might be morphing into a stand-up comedy routine, but then the hot weather bike ride was no joke! always a pleasure to get a peek into your artist life. thanks!

[@littletinyegg]

thank you so much Alice! hahah I get a little silly by myself sometimes, hehe. thank you!!

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

such a great video! thank you so much for sharing these parts of your life with us! they're so inspiring!

[@littletinyegg]

thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy

[@Brockohliflower]

This video is excellent. Something about it was so utterly relaxing - despite all the activities and events and life happening that made it so interesting too! It just made me feel really mellow and happy to paint along (which I haven’t really felt like with anyone’s videos in a long time). To the point where I was kinda sad it ended. But my head is filled with fine art and fun paintings and I’ll take your lovely attitude and creative artful vibes with me until the next one x

[@littletinyegg]

This is the sweetest comment ever, thank you!!

[@littletinyegg]

thank you so much!

[@maxonrylee]

Happy for you✨

[@tiffanya83]

I love you're vlogs, they help give me the motivation to do my own art, so thank you! I busted up laughing when you said, "I'd die for this fish." 😆

[@littletinyegg]

hahah thank you!!

[@JohnHarrisonArtist]

I liked your watercolour figure drawing, too, especially the last one of the pair. All the best, John

[@littletinyegg]

Thank you so much!

[@graciekate3999]

no way i just followed you on instagram and then you show up on my YT recommended!!!

[@littletinyegg]

omg the synchronicity! hehe welcome!!

[@whitneymason406]

You've had a busy summer! Love the new tattoo! Congratulations on the viral video! You deserve it! Enjoy the rest of the summer! 💞

[@littletinyegg]

Thank you so much Whitney!! Hope your summer is going well!

[@sketchbookscheming]

Loved your figure study watercolors! Interesting vlog 😃

[@littletinyegg]

thank you so much!

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

I eBiked about 10.5 miles today, and that felt pretty badass for me, then I saw you and your friends crisscrossing the country and playing bike polo!! (I nod at people rather than wave, because waving feels like a little too much movement while riding.) I think you can just say "been", like "how nice everyone's been." Congrats on the viral swan video, and the resulting spike in orders. The eyeglass holders are a nice touch. You remind me a little of Erica Ortegas from SNW. Bonus points if you recognize the reference. Maybe it's the hair. Nice video!!

[@littletinyegg]

any biking at all is badass in my book! I just watch my friends play bike polo, they keep trying to convince me to try but I've fallen off my bike enough times at this point haha. Thank you so much!

[@caro12321]

yayy! a new video :)

[@littletinyegg]

[@cinderelish4537]

I bought a print of the swan painting and I love it so much.

[@littletinyegg]

aww thank you!!

[@gr_ta777]

hey kristen! do you have any podcast recommendations? love your art and your vlogs :)

[@littletinyegg]

hiiii! I like Baby Geniuses (an illustrator and comedian just talk and riff), "I Said No Gifts" (comedian talks to lots of cool people), Serial (The Retrievals was so good), and the Bechdel Cast (two comedians review movies). I love a good chatty/ easy to follow pod in the background!

[@liannejohnson5491]

"I would die for this fish"...lol plus I get it, once you give them an eye they come to life! Your salmon look so happy :). The Kokanee are just starting to spawn here, so it's good timing to create salmon lol.

[@littletinyegg]

i love them!! Salmon szn!

[@bri.forcier]

I'm so happy your trumpeter swan prints sold well because I'm obsessed with that painting!!!! :,) Also the jackrabbit tattoo!! Turned out so nice! Lol @ the cameo, I blushed, and that is how you say my last name good job >:)

[@littletinyegg]

Hehe yay!! Thanks Bri!!!

[@Maddie.d326]

SOOO jealous of the Bon Iver clip! He didn't come near my city :( It is always so enjoyable to see the art and nature clips. So calming! 💙

[@littletinyegg]

ugh! hope you get to see them soon, he's always so amazing live. Thank you!!

[@kindcreative1]

You've seen some primo concerts -- Andrew Bird and Bon Iver are both on my list of must see concerts!

[@littletinyegg]

right? two of my favorite artists ever in the same week!

[@sammijane1640]

💚

[@crystaltanart]

I love this video. I also wanna try watercolour figures / portraits. Congrats on going viral on tiktok! You;ve made me curious about tiktok now. Coz ive avoided it so far. And i love your casual "by way the way I got a new tattoo yesterday". WHHHAAAATTT~!???

[@littletinyegg]

hahaha thank you! You definitely should try watercolors. Tiktok is a wild wild west right now, it's crazy. Thanks again!

[@phyllistiernan2145]

When you were on Ragbrai, did you do the Karras (century) loop…I live on the farm were patches were handed out .

[@littletinyegg]

I didn't but my partner and his brother did!! My favorite part of the ride was hanging out with people who volunteered their front yards- Iowa is so beautiful!

[@phyllistiernan2145]

⁠Great event ..it was fun to visit with the bikers under our shade tree I

[@LettersfromLex]

I’m going to start bringing watercolors to figure drawing now 👀

[@littletinyegg]

do ittttt

[@alphonzosolorzano5011]

Sorry to hear about the bike! Did you say it got stolen before Ragbrai?? 500 miles on any bike is a lot miles. Congrats on pushing through and on the viral success/sales of your swan print. You deserve it, putting in tons of work. Great to see you getting the recognition that many of your viewers here have noticed from the start.

[@littletinyegg]

yeah it was stolen about a week before the ride :( Thank you so much for the kind words as always!!

[@canadakaren1131]

Great to see your work getting the recognition you deserve. Awesome bike trip and yes, as soon as I get asked to do a commission it’s the last thing I want to do. Say hi to Nora! 😁

[@littletinyegg]

Thank you! Norah says hi hehe

[@adriennepriceart]

good job cycling so much! love the tattoo. would be cool to see what tattoos you design and how your business is doing financially. those types of videos do well on here too. i need to watch the tiktok video

[@littletinyegg]

thank you! And great ideas!

[@lulabelle33]

The eye of the fish lol. This guy. I would die for this guy lolol

[@littletinyegg]

hehehe

[@ChantelleArts]

the SD card situation is so sad, it's literally what I'm afraid of every time I remove it 🥺❤

[@littletinyegg]

a video girls worst nightmare

[@rsantiagoart2284]

I really like your vlogs. -Atlanta, Georgia USA

[@aquietreality]

Love your channel Kristen. Your drawings are absolutely beautiful! I usually knit while I watch and it’s sooooo relaxing and often also hilarious. “I don’t like painting men. No offence to the men.” (All the men offended. 😂😂😂

[@littletinyegg]

hahah thank you so much! I love to knit or crochet and watch videos, such a cozy time, thank you!

[@artngoodfeelings]

what is it about getting commissions that makes that little child rebel against them?? My brain does the same thing and I'm so over it lol

[@littletinyegg]

right?? haha its so annoying!

[@taylorfiskart]
