I love that you are betting on yourself and wanting to monetize from something that bring you joy and brings color to your soul. That’s really incredible, no matter the obstacle. I’m 32 and trying to gain the courage to do the same.
Most people who actually love art know that imperfections are a part of it and what gives it character, what makes it human. Not everything has to be squeaky clean perfect, you know :) So don't stress about it too much, you're doing great. Especially since this is just the training wheel phase. I think we can live with a few scuffs here and there lol. Keep doing what you're doing and best wishes to you going forward.
@@Royalthegreat thank you for this great reminder! Definitely needed it. My perfectionism definitely has no place in my art practice yet here I am 😅 I’ll continue working on it ☺️☺️
I needed that reminder lol. Have been a little stressed making my art lately. Also, all that can be applied to yourself as a person as well. Imperfections are OKAY ♥️
Every dream requires some sacrifice first. You will succeed! You will look back and think about how you pushed through and made it happen! Knowing what it is you want is already putting you ahead of most people. ❤
OMG i didn’t know i was the first order😭 also this was really cool seeing the process and slowly seeing you get more comfortable talking on camera. EXCITED FOR THE BOOKMARK AHHHH
I just got recommended your channel, and I can relate to all your thoughts so much! I'm a fellow artist going all in on my art business, and it sure is nerve-wracking (but also so rewarding). Your art and content are both amazing! ❤
As someone who is thinking to go part time to pursue art, this just feels so authentic relatable and inspiring!!! Angela your art is so cute and you are doing great!!! So excited to follow you and see you grow more and more ✨
Hey! Glad I found you. I turned 30 this year and have always wanted to make a living with my art but I never knew what direction to go. Lately I've been considering getting more serious about my Etsy shop and starting a RUclips, but I've been too scared to commit. I guess I just wanted to say thanks for giving me some courage. Also, your art is beautiful and I look forward to watching your journey in making your small business grow! ❤
@@hannkking Thank you so much for this comment. You give me the courage to keep on going as well ☺️ As an anxious person, all of it is scary to me 😂 I’m glad you’re giving yourself a chance and I hope you continue to pursue your dreams even when it’s hard and scary ❤️❤️
hey, i'm a small business owner, i have a pottery studio and shop for a bit over year now, also 29 and I can relate SO MUCH to your struggles, it's such a stressfull and lonely journey but the outcome can be so fulfilling and rewarding. Good job on handling so much and being honest with how you feel! New sub here, can't wait to see more from you :)
Your RUclips popped on my page and let me say this was really encouraging! I’m beginning my art journey as well with God and I hope to launch things at the beginning of the year! Thank you for bringing us into your journey! I’m so excited for you!🤍🤗
@@EveFaison omg I’m so excited for you!!! When I made the decision to switch to art, I asked myself, “God made me an artist so why am I fighting it?” Wishing you all the success! Have a blessed day
Same here! Her video ignited something in me. I'm going to take my art journey seriously and embrace not only the good moments but the bad as well, with Grace. Thank you so much, Angela
I'm so glad I came across this video. I'm in my late 20s and have felt like I'm passed the age where I should be "good" already with my art, so this video was nice to see

I can fully relate. I am turning the big 30 in Feb, quit my job a month ago and in a few weeks I'll be launching my stationery business. Following immediately. Can't wait to see your journey.
Just started watching your videos and just ordered a print and bookmarks. You’re out there doing this thing! Good for you! I am hoping to do this for myself but more as a side thing so this is inspirational. I try to buy from all of my favorite RUclips artists. Keep doing you and being real…connection is what it’s all about.

It's so funny I turned 29 a day ago. And I was feeling so down because I recently decided to start my small shop like yours. And it's such a difficult choice when your family is partially dependent on you financially. But it's nice knowing someone might be feeling the same thing, in a world of over-achieving young people.

Stumbled upon this video on my recommendations.. probably because I'm also 29 and slowly working towards opening an art shop as well :') Wanted to say congrats because you were able to get through the hardest part -- getting started!! I'm excited, nervous, and looking forward to going on the same path as you!
Love this!! Such adorable art. I’m a full time paramedic and artist, I get the struggle of trying to do both so props to you for deciding to fully commit to art 🥰 I’ve subscribed so I can follow along through your progress!! Would love to even collaborate on something sometime - so much support from the north! 🇨🇦
@@BirchesCo thank you for watching!! I wish I could do both full-time but I’m such a low energy person LOL. You’re incredible! Wishing you all the best on your artist journey! 🥰🥰🥰
Loved this video so much! Tears and all! I have lost count hours often I've cried over my cricut but breaks and long chats with friends always help! Hehe! Also this... 🍔🍔🍔!! 😂
You're too Kute! I'm also 29 pursuing Art however in a different medium. I have been having so much anxiety and fear of the future this video warms my heart to see that I'm not alone. Thank you! 💕
The struggle with the Silhouette is real! I struggled making sticker sheets with my Cricut when I first started, and I fought it for so long, and eventually it had an 80% accuracy 🥲 Also, it was really refreshing watching the raw behind-the-scenes (I feel so awkward making reels!) and actually seeing that other creators are doing the same thing. It's amazing you did your first art market already~ Wishing you the best for your business! ✨
@@sheepndreams 80% is my dream LOL. Thank you for the encouraging comment! Reels are so so awkward and I’m always cringing at myself 😂 you just gotta do the hard things hahaha
Don't apologize for the tears! I've been product testing for my small business of handmade clothing and the huge investment in materials and time can feel like a road to nowhere, but every failure is a redirection
This video is so inspiring!! I really want to open my own art shop one day, and I feel like you gave me the motivation I need to actually start 🥹 you’re going to go so far!! Your videos are such great quality and your art is beautiful!! Keep going girl!!🥳
Oh my gosh! I am so proud of you, girl; watching you grow, work, and learn is amazing. Yes, I love how you highlighted the importance of mental health. Take care of yourself! I love your work (I am especially obsessed with those bookmarks). Can't wait to see all the marvelous blessings and progress lying ahead in your journey. Thank you for being so real; I am honestly going through a rough patch, but your video today really helped brighten my mood, so thank you for that. 🥰
@@jessicamundo1569 awww girl! I hope your rough patch turns around soon 😔. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my posts despite feeling down. Wishing you all the best ❤️❤️❤️
Love this video! I completely understand how hard it can be to try being a full time artist. There is so much you have to do by yourself and hiring people is so expensive :') I wish you all the best!!
Yass girl! I will be turning 30 in a couple months and am also starting my journey of being a full time artist too. I feel so similar to you… it is such an emotional rollercoaster (ya girl is so sensitive😅). Love your videos and art tho! You’re going to do great 🫶🏼
Keep up the good work!! 🙏Love the editing and you made a very satisfying video to watch. You inspired me to film today, I'm really struggling and overthinking about what I can share/talk about in my videos😅Thank you!
@@preetphoenix1 I’ll definitely do that soon! 🥰 until then, I have some paint with me videos in shorts if you’re ever curious ☺️ thank you for the support!
This video is so well done! Your art has a unique flavor. Btw your family is like anime characters 😂 You are the high energy little sis with a professor like big sis..and married to a serious quiet tall guy..🤣 A manga needs to be made on this..
This comment made me so happy! hahaha. Everyone in this household is so unique and I'm so happy someone enjoyed watching them because I am clearly obsessed with my family LOL. Thanks for making me smile today! 😄
Hi Angela! I'm 29 and right here with you. I'm starting my channel soon too (as soon as I find away to be brave/distracted from the scaries enough to post my first video 🥵😂) I was relating so hard when you said you realized while editing that the previous day was NOT a flop. 😭😜 I know an incredible writer, Isa Adney, who runs a blog where she interviews creators about following their big dreams. Last year she published her book The Little Book of Big Dreams, and she's run a blog forEVER called Creative Teacup. She hosts a podcast too! You might love her content and I think she'd love to know you exist! I'm sending this video her way. 💛 Can't wait to see your next video and be a part of this journey with you. Keep going!! ✨
@@VeraLeeBird omg you got this!!! The scaries never went away for me so I decided to do it scared 😂 Thank you so much for thinking of me and sharing my journey with Isa!
@@a.t.h.art. doing it scared, here we goooo. Thank you for the solidarity and encouragement 🙈😁 I'm going to go get myself a little treat and sit my butt down and get it uploading. IT'S TIME! 😅
For full disclosure in case it may help ease some of your worries, I am a senior graphic designer and companies release imperfect products all the time. Then they either just delay the shipping of the product until it is 'perfect' or they update the shop listing at a moments notice without informing anyone (other than people inside the marketing team). I can't tell you the amount of times a printed product was updated but we don't have updated photography so I update the mockup in photoshop. I don't think all imperfections should prevent you from releasing a product; especially if the mockup can be edited for the listing launch. Wishing you the best of luck with your future launches and art journey!
@@micaela.herrera omg thank you for this! I’m such a perfectionist and it’s definitely not a helpful trait. I’ll keep this in mind for future launches ☺️
I've been doing art for years and I've always thought about making and selling my creations. I've felt a bit overwhelmed by it all and had no idea where to start.
@@kuroakikitsune I get the feeling! I’ve been taking art classes from elementary to college and it’s not until now that I went all-in! The reality is, you’re never going to feel completely ready, but the magic of it all is you learn as you go! Take it one day at a time and give yourself grace. Easier said than done obviously, but don’t let any of this intimidate you into not trying. You are absolutely capable of doing this thing 🫶
I don’t usually comment cause I’m a bit shy, but I just wanted to say hi! I’m also stepping into my 30s and finally starting to chase my art dreams. Keep making more of your videos-I really enjoy them, as they motivate me to keep going after what I love. Having my own art shop one day like yours is definitely my dream too 🥺
@@Asmallpalette thank you so much for taking the time to write this encouraging comment even though you’re shy! It means so much to me and motivates me to keep on going. ❤️❤️ you’re going to do great! Your paintings are lovely ☺️
Newly 29 and also trying to peruse my dreams of being a full time artist! Chose to do this while 7 months pregnant so not sure what kind of crazy I’m on 😵💫😅 so excited to find another page that I can relate to and that at 29 we’re not totally old and irrelevant like social media makes me feel sometimes 🥲
@@ArielSnyderArt YOU ARE SUPERWOMAN!! Wow, congratulations for taking this big step. You’re an inspiration and I’m so grateful you posted this comment. You’re NOT crazy. Sometimes I wonder if we really just gaslight ourselves into thinking we can’t do things when in actuality we can! And maybe thinking that things won’t work out is actually what’s crazy. You got this 💪💪💪
sometimes the portrait struggles to register if the lighting isn't enough for the machine. You can try turning the torch on your phone on and shining into the machine when registering.
@@KRstickers Hi Karina! For me, it took a year, 2 long form videos and almost 60 short form videos later. I’m not an overnight success. The algorithm is scary but once you find your people on here, it’s absolutely worth it. I suggest doing both short form and long form on here. Link your short form videos to your longer videos. YT is pushing shorts right now! Hope that helps!
I am so glad I got recommended your video! I’m in this exact position where I’ve been pursuing my dreams and also not yet financially contributing to my family so I immediately had to grab my phone to come comment. Due to health issues, I wasn’t able to maintain my lifestyle of 9-5 anymore and we sat down and thought about next steps. It took me a few months to figure out how that transition would look, along with dealing with heaps more health scares, but I’m slowly every day feeling more confident with this decision of pursuing my own thing & obviously having a supportive life partner makes it a bit easier 💖 It’s so important to take care of your health and I’m glad to see you’re showing the reflections, the highs and lows of this journey. 🫶 I’m excited to follow you along with your journey. I feel like this video was meant for me, also strangely 29.

@@BrittanyFaith omg thank you for this 🥹🥹 I’ve been postponing this YT thing for so long and I figured I’d never feel ready. Wishing you the best on your journey! ❤️❤️
@ you’re a natural!! You’re gonna do amazing things that align with you ✨
Thank you for being so genuine about your journey, your video gave me more faith that it’s never too late to start ✨
@@audreycagasan3614 thank you for this comment 🥹 it really is never too late ❤️
Stumbled upon this video on my recommendations.. probably because I'm also 29 and slowly working towards opening an art shop as well :') Wanted to say congrats because you were able to get through the hardest part -- getting started!! I'm excited, nervous, and looking forward to going on the same path as you!
@@hellosummerfox omg hello fellow 29-year-old artist! You got this! How exciting ☺️☺️☺️
Love this!! Such adorable art. I’m a full time paramedic and artist, I get the struggle of trying to do both so props to you for deciding to fully commit to art 🥰 I’ve subscribed so I can follow along through your progress!! Would love to even collaborate on something sometime - so much support from the north! 🇨🇦
@@BirchesCo thank you for watching!! I wish I could do both full-time but I’m such a low energy person LOL. You’re incredible! Wishing you all the best on your artist journey! 🥰🥰🥰
Great video. Good luck in your youtube journey.
@@finelinesillustrations Thank you ☺️
Loved this video so much! Tears and all! I have lost count hours often I've cried over my cricut but breaks and long chats with friends always help! Hehe! Also this... 🍔🍔🍔!! 😂
hahaha thank you for watching!! ☺
Love this. and you! I can't wait to keep up with your new journey, its so inspiring :')
@@StephannieCapili omg thank you so much for the support 🥹🫶
Shooting editing.. your vibe and energy.. Your hard work and authenticity.. This video is WOW.. keep up giiirl 💯❤️
@@mina4224 ahh thank you so much 🙈🙈🙈❤️
You're too Kute! I'm also 29 pursuing Art however in a different medium. I have been having so much anxiety and fear of the future this video warms my heart to see that I'm not alone. Thank you! 💕
Omg the anxiety is so realllll, but it’s all so worth it. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the comment 🤍🤍
You're so amazing! I really love you energy!!
aww thank you! ❤
I'm 27 and studing ilustration and trying to be a small art business tooo, i LOVE your style, art and your energy ❤
@@eyraluna thank you so much! 🥰 happy that my video reached a fellow artist and future small business owner! Wishing you the best! 😊
@@a.t.h.art. thank you so much !! NEVER TOO LATEEE :) So happy not feeling alone about that
The struggle with the Silhouette is real! I struggled making sticker sheets with my Cricut when I first started, and I fought it for so long, and eventually it had an 80% accuracy 🥲 Also, it was really refreshing watching the raw behind-the-scenes (I feel so awkward making reels!) and actually seeing that other creators are doing the same thing. It's amazing you did your first art market already~ Wishing you the best for your business! ✨
@@sheepndreams 80% is my dream LOL. Thank you for the encouraging comment! Reels are so so awkward and I’m always cringing at myself 😂 you just gotta do the hard things hahaha
Ooooh congrats! This is so cute :) I’m drawing my stickers now tooo hehehe ❤ glad I found ya on here
@@laurenhcheng ahh thank you 🙈🙈 have fun with the stickers 🥰
Don't apologize for the tears! I've been product testing for my small business of handmade clothing and the huge investment in materials and time can feel like a road to nowhere, but every failure is a redirection
@@intuzi_ thank you for this! It can be so frustrating haha. I feel encouraged and less alone now. 😊
I’m currently on the verge of tears because of my own sticker sheets 😅 it happens to the best of us!!
@@laurenjudge4120 hahaha glad I’m not alone!! I hope everything works out for you! 😭😭😭
I think these designs but in postage stamps would turn out so cute! Matches the vibe
@@Inkywhiskersstudio thank you ☺️
Your editing is sooo good!!
@@cindyha6856 thanks sis!! It took so long LOL
This video is so inspiring!! I really want to open my own art shop one day, and I feel like you gave me the motivation I need to actually start 🥹 you’re going to go so far!! Your videos are such great quality and your art is beautiful!! Keep going girl!!🥳
@@alyyuriko aww thank you! You should definitely do it when you feel ready! It’s a crazy adventure but so worth it 🥰
Oh my gosh! I am so proud of you, girl; watching you grow, work, and learn is amazing. Yes, I love how you highlighted the importance of mental health. Take care of yourself! I love your work (I am especially obsessed with those bookmarks). Can't wait to see all the marvelous blessings and progress lying ahead in your journey. Thank you for being so real; I am honestly going through a rough patch, but your video today really helped brighten my mood, so thank you for that. 🥰
@@jessicamundo1569 awww girl! I hope your rough patch turns around soon 😔. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my posts despite feeling down. Wishing you all the best ❤️❤️❤️
@ thank you so much. It means a lot and I appreciate it. Keep up the great work 🥰 much love and support 😊
Love this video! I completely understand how hard it can be to try being a full time artist. There is so much you have to do by yourself and hiring people is so expensive :') I wish you all the best!!
@@JustSfo thank you 🥹🥹 it’s going to be a struggle for a very long time but I know it’s going to all be worth it 🥰
Dude your shelving/boxing/workstation area is so organized and inspiring -
@@lJMMARl bruh. I feel like it’s so messy 😂😂😂 thank you though!! Hope you’ve been well! ☺️
Your honesty is appreciated! Very real… and motivating! Keep going!

Awe. Tammy. I love her work too!
@@janetofshegatherswellness5403 she’s actually goals!!
Yass girl! I will be turning 30 in a couple months and am also starting my journey of being a full time artist too. I feel so similar to you… it is such an emotional rollercoaster (ya girl is so sensitive😅). Love your videos and art tho! You’re going to do great 🫶🏼
@@tinybloomstudio thank you!! It really is such an emotional rollercoaster 🫠 But it’s so worth it! I’m so excited for you! 🥰
@ it is, but I can’t wait to continue watching your journey! And thank you 💙
Keep up the good work!! 🙏Love the editing and you made a very satisfying video to watch. You inspired me to film today, I'm really struggling and overthinking about what I can share/talk about in my videos😅Thank you!
@@FullyToday thank you so much for this 🥹 Keep up the the good work! Totally normal to feel overwhelmed by YT. I feel it all the time 😅 You got this!
I like your style and work. I hope to see more of your painting process, may be start fo finish. ❤ Good luck.
@@preetphoenix1 I’ll definitely do that soon! 🥰 until then, I have some paint with me videos in shorts if you’re ever curious ☺️ thank you for the support!
This video is so well done! Your art has a unique flavor.
Btw your family is like anime characters 😂
You are the high energy little sis with a professor like big sis..and married to a serious quiet tall guy..🤣
A manga needs to be made on this..
This comment made me so happy! hahaha. Everyone in this household is so unique and I'm so happy someone enjoyed watching them because I am clearly obsessed with my family LOL. Thanks for making me smile today! 😄
Love the behind the scenes grind! proud to be a supporter
@@tayday3875 thank you so much for watching and commenting! Appreciate you 😊
"You can still run a small business with big feelings." That needs to be a sticker or a notepad or something.
Genius idea!! haha
Love your art! You are so hard working hope you see the results of all the work you put in soon. ❤
@@bestlined thank you so much! You’re crazy talented! Keep up the great work ☺️
Hi Angela! I'm 29 and right here with you. I'm starting my channel soon too (as soon as I find away to be brave/distracted from the scaries enough to post my first video 🥵😂) I was relating so hard when you said you realized while editing that the previous day was NOT a flop. 😭😜
I know an incredible writer, Isa Adney, who runs a blog where she interviews creators about following their big dreams. Last year she published her book The Little Book of Big Dreams, and she's run a blog forEVER called Creative Teacup. She hosts a podcast too! You might love her content and I think she'd love to know you exist! I'm sending this video her way. 💛
Can't wait to see your next video and be a part of this journey with you. Keep going!! ✨
@@VeraLeeBird omg you got this!!! The scaries never went away for me so I decided to do it scared 😂 Thank you so much for thinking of me and sharing my journey with Isa!
@@a.t.h.art. doing it scared, here we goooo. Thank you for the solidarity and encouragement 🙈😁 I'm going to go get myself a little treat and sit my butt down and get it uploading. IT'S TIME! 😅

@@ddravidd thank you so much 🥹
For full disclosure in case it may help ease some of your worries, I am a senior graphic designer and companies release imperfect products all the time. Then they either just delay the shipping of the product until it is 'perfect' or they update the shop listing at a moments notice without informing anyone (other than people inside the marketing team). I can't tell you the amount of times a printed product was updated but we don't have updated photography so I update the mockup in photoshop. I don't think all imperfections should prevent you from releasing a product; especially if the mockup can be edited for the listing launch. Wishing you the best of luck with your future launches and art journey!
@@micaela.herrera omg thank you for this! I’m such a perfectionist and it’s definitely not a helpful trait. I’ll keep this in mind for future launches ☺️
@@a.t.h.art. of course, no problem!! your work is gorgeous by the way
I've been doing art for years and I've always thought about making and selling my creations. I've felt a bit overwhelmed by it all and had no idea where to start.
@@kuroakikitsune I get the feeling! I’ve been taking art classes from elementary to college and it’s not until now that I went all-in! The reality is, you’re never going to feel completely ready, but the magic of it all is you learn as you go! Take it one day at a time and give yourself grace. Easier said than done obviously, but don’t let any of this intimidate you into not trying. You are absolutely capable of doing this thing 🫶
You're such an inspiration! Can you do a video showing your notion?
@@Alexaphantom Sure! I’ll include it in a future video 😊🫶
I don’t usually comment cause I’m a bit shy, but I just wanted to say hi! I’m also stepping into my 30s and finally starting to chase my art dreams. Keep making more of your videos-I really enjoy them, as they motivate me to keep going after what I love. Having my own art shop one day like yours is definitely my dream too 🥺
@@Asmallpalette thank you so much for taking the time to write this encouraging comment even though you’re shy! It means so much to me and motivates me to keep on going. ❤️❤️ you’re going to do great! Your paintings are lovely ☺️
Newly 29 and also trying to peruse my dreams of being a full time artist! Chose to do this while 7 months pregnant so not sure what kind of crazy I’m on 😵💫😅 so excited to find another page that I can relate to and that at 29 we’re not totally old and irrelevant like social media makes me feel sometimes 🥲
@@ArielSnyderArt YOU ARE SUPERWOMAN!! Wow, congratulations for taking this big step. You’re an inspiration and I’m so grateful you posted this comment. You’re NOT crazy. Sometimes I wonder if we really just gaslight ourselves into thinking we can’t do things when in actuality we can! And maybe thinking that things won’t work out is actually what’s crazy. You got this 💪💪💪
Good luck, Giiiiiirrrll❤

@@KatsDreams-1723 what a coincidence! 😱
sometimes the portrait struggles to register if the lighting isn't enough for the machine. You can try turning the torch on your phone on and shining into the machine when registering.
Loved this vlog sm! The 22 min flew by. Also you KNOW I'm screenshotting those short form ideas because girl I need help lmao. #flopera24/7 😎✌
@@Zaccura omg I needed this comment because I was so scared it was too long and boring LOL. We in the flop era together 😂😂😂

@@KRstickers ahh excited for you ☺️
Just uploaded my first video . How long was it after that you started to see views?
@@KRstickers Hi Karina! For me, it took a year, 2 long form videos and almost 60 short form videos later. I’m not an overnight success. The algorithm is scary but once you find your people on here, it’s absolutely worth it. I suggest doing both short form and long form on here. Link your short form videos to your longer videos. YT is pushing shorts right now! Hope that helps!
@@ViviRivera 😊❤️
Keep up the awesome work! Love your dedication!

Subscribing coz i want to support ur journey 🫶✨️
@@myhappylittlethings2382 aww thank you so much 🥰
I am so glad I got recommended your video! I’m in this exact position where I’ve been pursuing my dreams and also not yet financially contributing to my family so I immediately had to grab my phone to come comment.
Due to health issues, I wasn’t able to maintain my lifestyle of 9-5 anymore and we sat down and thought about next steps. It took me a few months to figure out how that transition would look, along with dealing with heaps more health scares, but I’m slowly every day feeling more confident with this decision of pursuing my own thing & obviously having a supportive life partner makes it a bit easier 💖
It’s so important to take care of your health and I’m glad to see you’re showing the reflections, the highs and lows of this journey. 🫶
I’m excited to follow you along with your journey. I feel like this video was meant for me, also strangely 29.
@@thedandydreamer I am so so sorry you’re going through this. Thank you for taking the time to share. Please take care of your health first and give yourself grace along the way. You are so incredibly strong for going through this transition. ❤️❤️
I would like to make you some fanart! Do you have an email I can send it to?
@@emmagraceart that’s so sweet of you! You can send it to a.t.h.artshop@gmail.com
