How do you find time and inspiration to make your art??? I want to create too but never now how to start.

<3 tbh I don’t feel like I have a lot of time/energy for art right now. But I was able to do a couple pieces recently and for them I just had to get them started (figure out what I’m making, gather supplies) and then I just worked on them during my Sitting in bed Resting time when I would usually be scrolling on my phone. When I was in undergrad though I was able to take a reduced course load because I wanted to have time to make art among other things. Having structure can be helpful where you set aside a time in your week for art, or doing a challenge type thing like inktober.

For inspiration, i love my pinterest and all the artists i follow on instagram. I’ll see something and go I want to make something like that, but in my own style or with a different idea etc. Personally i like to play with different mediums so i’ll think about what medium would be coolest for a certain idea/design/phrase. Collage is fun because you can play with inspiration and try stuff out in a really tactile way. I keep a note on my phone for any fleeting art ideas. If I’m scared to get started with materials for a big project I’ll spend time mocking it up digitally. Everyone says this but often you just have to start even if you don’t feel perfectly inspired.

Hi — LOVED the most recent fruit art you made. Any way to buy prints?! Would love to frame and have in my apartment

thank youuu i am so honoured!!! 🩷🩷🩷 im not really interested in bothering to sell my art so you have full permission to just print it yourself (this goes for everyone + all my art). lmk if you want me to send you a better quality file of it (not sure how bad tumblr compresses the actual file?). or i can stick the design on redbubble if you’d rather get an actual print that way :-)

on the off chance that anyone else wants to buy a postcard, shower curtain, etc: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/181291248?. i do not keep up with putting my art up there regularly or making all the options look good so yell at me if you want anything else put up/fixed <3
