Kimber, this is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on the internet in a loongggg time! ✨🧡✨
PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE 🙌🏻
I loved all the creativity you put into this—the coloring, the fonts, the imagery, the storytelling, all of it!
I loved that it was a story we can all relate to and it was short, sweet, and left me with a smile and inspiration.
I think the world needs more of this kind of art and storytelling. 👏🏻👏🏻
I would love a weekly series for these! Oh my gosh—I have an idea 🤓
You could write one illustrated essay a week for, say, 20 weeks (or forever if you want)
Then, take the top 10 essays that your readers loved the most and put them in a REAL LIFE book! (You can totally self-publish your book. I think it would be such a cute and fun little book to sit on a coffee table or to give to a friend!)
ALSO, you could totally offer commissions for these!!! omg I loovveee this idea so much! Okay, so in my head this is more like an illustrated story (think, "how we first met" or "our family vacation to Italy" or "the time I won a gold medal at the olympics" - like a moment people want to remember and cherish). So people could tell you their story and some details, how they were feeling, what they saw, etc - then you to make it into a beautiful illustrated story they can keep forever!!! In my mind, you could do this on like an 8x10 size page and then deliver it via email to them and they can print it out and frame it - or give it to someone as a gift! This is so cute and special because it's like art!
ALSO, you could make an online course teaching people HOW you make these. I have absolutely no idea how you made this, but it's stunning, and I'm curious how you do it! Sooo if I'm curious about it, I'm sure others are too! Your course could sell in the background forever once you record it. Hello passive income!!!! Okay, you would still have to market it and drive new eyes to it, but if you write an illustrated essay weekly, one easy way to market your course would be to just add a cute little link at the bottom telling readers to check it out!
Ooohhhh you could even offer a "VIP Day" - like where someone could hire you for a few hours (say like 3-4 hours) to get on zoom call and you teach them how you do it (totally charge premium for this!!) and then offer a "review" of their first piece...so like they go create their first illustrated story after your zoom meeting, then email it to you, and you can revise it on your own time and email the revised piece back to them to show them how they can improve. ✨
Girl, I think you have a TALENT and I think you could really turn this into a banging business idea!!! (if you want to 😃 ) Please excuse my full-on enthusiasm for your art! 😬 I am in business ideation mode for my own business and when I saw this amazing email from you, the ideas just immediately poured out of my head so I had to tell you haha.
My point—yeeessss please give us more of these!!! ✨🧡🙌🏻
Ashley!!! 💛 thank you so much for your enthusiasm about my work, and all your business ideas!!! You definitely have my mind working 💫 I wish you all the good things as you work on developing your business!!!
I appreciate your drawings and the way you share what you intentionally noticed! . I do that on walks . I notice things. Too much time is spent worrying and waiting for something to change. We forget to live in the moment. It's easy to get sucked into the digital world for me too. I think it helps to get out away from the confines of buildings if possible.Especially while we can still experience things in the warmer seasons. I don't have an alternative yet, to being out in nature when it comes to everything being under snow and cold outside. I don't like being outside in cold weather.
I love that you said "too much time is spent worrying and waiting for something to change" -- I feel this in so many aspects of my life. I totally relate with that feeling of needing to be in nature... but not liking colder weather! I am the exact same way, and hope to someday settle down in a place that is warm all year round :')
Loved it. Make more!! Great food for thought and fun to participate in. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yay!! I’m so glad you liked it 💛 Thank you for your encouragement!
Brilliant, Kimber! Love this!
Kimber this is so wonderful!! I'm humbled to be cited as inspiration! Keep going!!!!
Wow, thank you for taking the time to read it! I love all of your essays. 💛
