Sorry if the answer's already somewhere on your blog (if it is, i didn't find it), but i wanted to know i you were selling some of your artwork? I love your 'Chaos Walking quotes' thingies and would totally buy a few!

I’ve only been asked this a couple of times, so I don’t blame you for not being able to find my (out-of-date) answer – sorry about that! I’m currently working on creating a Society6 shop which should be up by the end of this week at latest, and there’ll definitely be art prints of my Chaos Walking typography available!

I love your word art :-). Do you take requests at all? Sell anything? I teach middle school, and I'd love to have some pretty handmade motivational words on my walls.

Thank you so much! (I think I might envy the kids in your class – what would I give for handmade stuff on classroom walls.)
Sure, I am always open to doing a bundle of requests for a fee. Which would you prefer: a) a soft-copy of your requests, which can be sent by email immediately after they’re completed, or b) a hard-copy, which generally takes longer?
PS: Hope you don’t mind that I am answering this publicly!

Angie, your art is so breathtakingly beautiful and inspiring! Can you please tell me how you did them?! Or any starter tips? ;DD

I’m so sorry for the late reply, Em! I used a stylus on the Paper app for iPad, and as for how exactly I did them… I don’t really know how to explain! I just draw what’s on my mind and experiment a lot, I think.

But since you asked for starter tips, I would say that practice makes perfect. Whatever you want to draw well – practice it, over and over again. It may come out like crap at first (like all of my six-year-old scribbles), but do not, I repeat do not, give up. You’ll get better, guaranteed!

Sorry my advice isn’t anything new and groundbreaking, but it’s something that’s helped me through my growth as an artist… a lot of times I got caught up in needing to be perfect and do perfect work on the first try, but the truth is not all of us are prodigies, and we don’t have to be. All we need is to love art – and as long as we do, we’ll keep making it no matter how crappy we think it looks. And somewhere along the line, we get better. It’s kind of magic.

Okay, I should stop here before it becomes a full-on ramble. Hope this… helps?
