    Thank you for sharing so much about your art business! I am an artist and creative who is somewhat newer to the business side of selling my art. I’ve been doing it on a small scale for about a year now, but it’s picking up a bit and I’ve felt pretty lost with some aspects of it! Finding boxes was the bane of my existence, so thank you for sharing links!!!!

      Yeah, it can be tricky. For me, I use 18"x24" boxes for 16"x20" paintings, I use 24"x30" boxes for 18"x24" paintings and I use 30"x36" boxes for 24"x30" paintings.

    I love watching your process videos. Congratulations on your sale! I packed my paintings in bubble like you do for a long time as it makes sense. But all the online resources say the bubbles should be facing the object they’re supposed to protect. So I switched my packing process. Have you ever gotten any complaints of damaged paintings? If not then maybe I should switch back. Either way, thanks for sharing!

    Thank you so much for sharing right down to prepping your artwork before packaging. I was wondering do you take a photo of your completed paintings for prints (did you do that for this one too?) before shipping them off to their new collectors? And, I was wondering how do you go about taking those photos? ... Also, totally off topic, do you use a reference photo for your portraits? And do you need to get permission from the photographer or from the celebrity before you can paint and sell them? I’m just curious as to how it works for artists doing celebrity / famous people portrait art. Again, thank you so much for your artists vlogs! It’s so much fun watching a prolific artist run their business and to get inspired!
