Introduction
With the help of Jessica Roux's mentoring tips and guidance, I created stationery and prints from my art - I even ended up braving my social anxiety and pushing myself out of my comfort zone to sell (successfully, shock horror!) at markets and conventions!
As an AuDHD artist, I found that my strength was in designing cute self care stationery for people who live with neurodivergence, chronic illnesses and/or mental illnesses and have higher support needs. I also experiemented in designing some soft self soothing communication badges for people who have social anxiety and/or are living with autism and have higher support needs. They were a huge hit at these markets and I have almost sold out for the year.
I learned how to work with different manufacturer's and event organisers as a by product of creating and selling my art on stationery and I'm excited to see how much more I can design to help my community of people who live with disabilities. If you are looking at this course I highly recommend it and if you wish to see more of my pastel cutesy and slightly unhinged art (inspired by furbies, cute pop culture, Animal Crossing and all things cozy) my Instagram is @wesen.666

Supplies
Procreate, some very old versions of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, a Canon TS9565 printer and occasionally pen and pencil to sketch things out!
I also worked with Sticker Warehouse from Australia, Wooacry, Vograce and GS-JJ has contacted me for a collab that lands next year. :)
Product Photography + Market Stall Photography of My Stationery and Products!
These are a few of the notepads, sticky notes, greeting cards, badges and various products I've created since learning from this course. I created my own little ramune soda vending machine from cardstock for the display as well.
