Digital downloads are an easy and cost effective way to get one of a kind art printed they way you want or need it. I personally have painted items available for digital downloads and allow customers to use them for third party printing to sell on their e-commerce platforms.

As an artist myself sometimes it is hard to sell a piece that you love and put so much time into.

I used to be too scared to watch scary movies but then when I started dating my (now) husband, I wanted to build up my scary movie tolerance. We watched a BUNCH of scary movies starting with stupid ones and then building up to Midsommar and Hereditary.

They’re seriously scary and not for scaredy cats.

My designs come in 5 different planner sizes.
