The 400-painting adventure begins


I've created 23 Paintings so far this week!

Hi Reader, Now that I'm working on a new project, I'm spending so much time in my studio painting, which I LOVE. Sometimes if I don't have a project with a deadline, My time seems to go more towards computer work like listing products in my shop, emails, etc, rather than actual painting time. But not this week. I've created 23 paintings in the last 8 days!

My friend Briana and I are diving into our new collaborative project!

We are painting 400 paintings over the next 2 months. We split it up so that we're each creating 200 2" paintings. In a couple months we will board flights to meet up together so we can piece all of these minis together to create one big painting! Will it piece together the way we are hoping it will?? πŸ€”πŸ˜¬ Guess you will just have to follow along to see how this journey goes πŸ€™πŸ½

We are loving and are so grateful for everyone's enthusiasm for this project. Trust me when I say that we are just as excited.

We are posting little process videos and updates on instagram so if you want to watch us be goofy, follow us here:

Here are the paintings I've completed this week:

and here are the paintings Bri has finished:

We are actually offering our email subscribers (that's YOU!) first dibs on any of the mini paintings that you fall in love with. We won't be launching the full collection publicly to our 155,000+ followers on socials until sometime in November, but you can adopt any you have your eye on right now!

There will only be 400 mini original paintings available for this collection release!

So if you already see one or more that you want to claim before anyone else does, then directly reply to this email and tell me which one(s) you want from Bri and/ or me and I’ll send you a custom order link. πŸ€—

Here’s some important info.

#1 The minis you order will not be shipped until after the collection releases in November because Bri and I need them all until then so we can piece them together for the bigger painting they will all create unitedly.

#2 Here is the pricing for the minis:

1 mini = $75 USD

2-3 minis = $70 each

4-9 minis = $65 each

10+ minis = $65 each with a free 8” x 8” print of the whole collection pieced together.

#3 All orders of original paintings will ship free in the USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

#4 For International orders, we recommend budgeting approx. around $25-$35 USD for shipping costs.

#5 It's first come, first serve. Once you let us know which painting you want, we'll send you a custom listing. You'll have a grace period of 3 days after we send the listing to pay, but after that those paintings are back up for grabs to our email subscribers.

Thank you all very much for the excitement you’ve been expressing for Briana's and my collaboration πŸ₯°πŸ₯° We are so grateful for you all πŸ«‚ πŸ«‚


A couple more updates from my studio:

I've been packing and shipping orders from my Pygmy Hippo collection still, so thank you so much!

I recently finished this custom pet portrait and wanted to share it with you! A collector reached out to me and asked if I could create a portrait of her daughter's dog, Lucy, so of course I said yes!


Much love,

-Katie

Hi Reader, How are you? I'm going to keep this short because you might have some exciting plans for the holiday weekend. My plans are to paint, work in my shop, & paint some more, but that's fun for me! I don't have too much to share because my week has mainly been painting these lil canvases for our launch coming up in a few weeks (I hope you're as excited as I am!!), as well as working on a secret commission, and of course packing up all of your orders. I thought it would be fun to tell you...

Hi Reader, How are you? I wanted to send you a quick update from the week. I've added some new things in my shop this week, as I've been trying to update it for the holidays. Speaking of the Holidays, they are sneaking up faster than you probably realize. There are only 61 days until Christmas. 😱 I bring this up to let you know that I am fully booked on projects right now, I have several to finish up before my upcoming travels and then several last minute original painting commissions for...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I hope you've had a nice day. It's crazy to me that October is already halfway over. I think it's my favorite month because it's the middle of my favorite season, Autumn. πŸ‚ I'm trying to make the most of enjoying every moment I can, but I'm not going to lie I'm a little overwhelmed at everything I have to get done in the next month before I go to Hawaii so I'm spending way too much time at my desk instead of outside. I am LOVING this project though so it's worth it....
