🫩 I’m tired and burnt out milord 🫩

I’ve been living my best reclusive goblin life this month but I’m finally coming out of my cave with plans to share all the stuff I’ve been making over the last few weeks, including new prints 🏰🐉✨

The sun is shining, the weekend is upon us and I’m hoping it will vibe me up a bit 🌞

A breakdown of my wholesale catalogue before you send yours to print 💖

Wanted to do a little biz yap about wholesale catalogues because I had mine updated for Top Drawer late last year and what to include 💭

Have a swipe to see pics of mine, and what to include from product photography, all the technical stuff that’s easy to miss out and the details that could encourage an order.

Give it a save for when you’re thinking of updating yours. Mine was designed by .byfk and I’m so buzzing with how it turned out!

If you have any questions pop them in the comments! Or if any shops want to add anything let me know 💘👇

I’m getting back into creative biz content after a few weeks where the wheels have come off so I hope this helps some people out 🥲

I ❤️ stickers!! And you do too, these keep selling out 😱 getting another restock in this week and some new additions to the growing collection.

Which one is your fav?

Was long overdue some photography updates and I’m so pleased with what captured 📸

Wholesale customers: New Dad cards have dropped on Faire ready for Father’s Day on 21st June. Including this van design inspired by my own tradie dad (and a Mabel cameo because she loves sticking her head out of the window 🐶)

Also still plenty of stock for previous bestsellers!

🇺🇸US stockists: we send packages DDP paid so no hidden costs upfront

These will be available on the website soon too 💖

How I diversify my income as a full time illustrator 💰✨

A lot of my income comes from one main stream, wholesale. About 60% of my income is through B2B sales, mostly coming through Faire.

That’s definitely been a very important part of my business, but spending so much time on it has made me very aware of not relying too heavily on one platform! Alongside Faire I’ve been building my direct wholesale via email and trade shows 🛍️

I also make money through licensing, online shop sales, markets, a small amount of client work and hosting talks via . Some streams are more passive, some are more seasonal, some are slow burners and some are more active and require more effort.

One thing I’ve learned is you really can’t do everything at once. I’ve spent 5 years building these things up gradually, and there have been times when I’ve had to prioritise one area and put others on the back burner for a while.

I’ve spent 3 years focusing heavily on wholesale, which meant less client work. Now that I have a more established body of product work, licensing feels like a natural progression - that body of work has helped shape my portfolio too!

For me, diversifying income isn’t about doing absolutely everything all the time. It’s more about making my business feel less fragile and more sustainable long term, so I can keep making silly things until I’m an old lady 👵 I’ve still got a long way to go at mastering the income diversification, but after 5 years I feel I’m in a much safer place 💖

I’d love to know what income stream you’re most reliant on, and what you’re trying to grow at the moment? 👇
