Happy belated Lunar New Year! #illustration #bunnyart #YearoftheRabbit

Some accomplishments or new things that happened last year: 1. I got bangs! They make me feel a fancy and they're pretty easy maintenance. 2. Made over 100 etsy sales! Thank you to those who ordered from my shop. 3. We got a puppy, her names Pepper and she's pretty cute!

Here's my #artvsartist2022 post showcasing a bunch of my favorite work from last year! I didn't really have a lot of photos of myself - my whole photo gallery is filled with just puppy photos lol!

SHOP UPDATE AND SALE IS LIVE This is the last shop update of the year for me. Also, up to 20% off on certain items in my store so go check that out too! Link in bio as well as below etsy.com/shop/kniftykat #etsysale #illustration #Ghibli #smallbusinessowner

If you make your income primarily from your art, how much are you making per year? This includes full time art jobs, commissions, merch sales, etc.
