My Creative Enterprise classes are wrapping up and tonight is the big presentation. There is going to be a couple hundred local business leaders in attendance. I’m pretty nervous but I’ve been going over my speech a 1,000 times today so I’m starting to feel like I got this. Luckily its hard not to smile when you see my stuff so I know everyone will at least be interested in what I have to say. Im going to read through my speech again….and again….and again…
Just approved the proofs for the batch of stickers from Sticker Mule! I’m pretty excited to get them. I have never made stickers before and these things are legit! UV and weather proof even! Now I just need to finish the last couple pages of the coloring book and I can send that off a little early. Thank you to everyone who sent in a pre-order! Getting emails telling me that someone has ordered is fun. Can’t wait for everyone to see how cool this thing is going to be!
Coloring book pre-orders are up and running smoothly! Amazing how nervous I was after I activated the pre-order in the store. It feels weird to put something you made out there and then sit and wait to hear what people think about it. Plus I didn’t get a change to test the storefront out as much as I would have liked to. Seems to be working perfectly and orders are slowly coming in! I have to admit it’s really fun to check in every day to see if anyone has put in an order. It’s like playing a video game but with higher stakes. Thank you so much to everyone who has put in an order! Its so inspiring to hear that people are excited!
Finished the big bad 4 inch round sticker that I’m including in the coloring book pre-orders. Took awhile to come up with a color combo I liked but I’m pretty sure this is good to go. I’m getting nervous! Months of work on coloring pages is about to unleashed upon the world!
Just finished the sticker sheet design thats going to be a reward for pre-ordering the coloring book. Just posting it to get it up here and then its time for bed.
Almost done with the Burgleteens coloring book! It’s been a grind but I only have 3 more pages left to design and then it can be sent to the printers! It’s going to be super legit. I’m going to have it printed on extra thick paper so people can use markers without it bleeding through everywhere. I should have pre-orders up tomorrow in the shop. Coloring book pre-orders even get some stickers and buttons for being so rad. Publishing my first book has been a lot of work but I’m almost to the fun part where I get to see people’s reaction to something I made. I made a mock-up for the pre-order page so people could get an idea of what it’s going to look like.
Burgleteens has been selected as the featured artist this month for the Global Credit Union Tiny Treasures program! Super honored they would pick me! I just sent off some headshots and a bio which they will post on their social media sites then towards the end of the month I get to hide a piece of art somewhere in town for people to find. Not sure what I’m going to make yet but it will be funky fresh for sure! Keep tuned for clues!
