Art, drawing, painting, or design? Design.

I'm in an online group, and within the group we have an art club. We talk in voice chat while we do art. Someone keeps asking me if I'm drawing, and I say yes. But I'm not really drawing. It is design.

I'm working on a cohesive line that has elements of folk art but with a more modern aesthetic. I'm creating a lot of design elements that can be combined in different combinations and colors. The hardest thing is keeping all of them organized!

I am building up a good collection of my own designs. I just started seriously working on my store and planning exactly I want to do.

It's been a long time leading up to this. I basically realized I wanted to do it over a year ago, and it took me this long to get comfortable with Inkscape, with design, store planning and feeling good and creative and productive.

If I knew how long this would take I would have been really discouraged at the beginning. I'm glad I didn't know, because I worked hard, planned, and expected success. Now I have gotten to a good place!

This chicken mug was the first thing I made that I feel is good enough to offer for sale. The first of many!
