If you say you're seriously in love with The Boy Who Lived, The Girl on Fire and The Wallflower Writer, then you might already have Animac Art Studio in your life.
WAIT. WHAT DID YOU SAY? NO? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ANIMAC IS? THEN, CRUCIO--- Only kidding.
But what isn't a joke is this: This super (as in with a cape) awesome online art shop is a must-everything in your life! From bookmarks and stickers to postcards and stationery, it offers to-die-for additions to your secret (or not) shrine of fandom. Or your postcard addiction. Or your sticker collection. Or your stack of book accessories.
bookbed: How did Animac start?
Animac: It was a "Eureka!" moment, thanks to Frankie magazine. I was reading an issue in late 2011 and I saw all these features about artists and how they turned their passions and hobbies into businesses. A few days later, I woke up in the morning and decided, "Why not me too?" I spent the first half of 2012 by making art that I thought would be good enough to sell and launched Animac in August that year.
bb: What has having Animac brought up for you so far?
Animac: The best thing has been the opportunity to show my work to the world one art at time. The second best thing is probably money. Haha!
bb: What is in the future for Animac?
Animac: Right now, I'm generally working on improving my designs and making more art to see which ones I could turn into a collection for next releases. Also, my sister and I have got plans on venturing into designing clutch bags, but nothing has been set in stone yet!
That sounded like there's even much more to look out for from Animac! But as we wait for the ahem-clutchbag-ahem (or others) to be set, make sure you get these fantastic works of art first:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Set (PHP300 or USD 7.5)
The Hunger Games Set (PHP300 or USD 7.5)
The Perks Collection (PHP300 or USD 7.5)
Those definitely caught your eye, huh? But while you'll still here and not yet hysterically clicking on the order form over at the Animac site, you shouldn't miss this trivia(l) about the heart and genius behind the art that is the talented Lauren Baldo:
bb: If you were to choose the ghost writer for the story of your life, who would it be and why?
LB: Charles Bukowski, hands down. He's my spirit animal. Plus, he's dead, so he fits the ghost writer category! Kidding aside, if I have to choose someone that's still alive and current, I would have to pick Markus Zusak and/or John Green. They're my fave YA authors and their books have moved me beyond words.
Now, isn't that a good answer? Here's to hoping we'll see CB, MZ and JG sets on Animac soon!
