The banner that started it all 🥺🫶
A couple months ago, Melissa asked me to paint a banner for her son’s birthday. I hesitantly agreed, even though I hadn’t painted seriously in years.
She told me she would pay me, and that others likely would too. I had never made money off of my art - even after studying art in college and painting for so many years.
I remember trying to pick a simpler design for her, telling her I was trying to avoid the ‘FOUR’. It seemed too complicated for me.
Here I am less than 2 months into my little side business, finally finishing up my ‘first’ banner.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t start this one and then push it to the side for so long, scared to tackle that ‘FOUR’.
But now, I’m looking back at the progress I have already made in such a short amount of time.
19 banners completed. Many more orders in progress.
I’m so thankful for Melissa and this banner.
