We are so proud of our wonderful Make Art That Sells alumni and are pleased to showcase part 9 of the festive designs and products they have created for the season. See all the festive showcase posts here *** Celia Worrall – Celia Worrall Designs My Christmas Cards are fun, colourful and bright. I have taken the MATS A October 2015 course and I am excited to take the Bootcamp course in 2016. The MATS A classes were incredibly inspirational. They help my work evolve and greatly increased my creativity. I learnt many important lessons – such as the importance of designs “popping” in small format. The classes gave me great insight into delivering art that sells. My next steps are to continue to work on my portfolio and set up my website. I am also hoping to gain representation from an agent.

See all the festive showcase posts here *** Trudi Murray I have challenged myself to make a black and white illustration every day in Advent and post them day by day on my social media channels. So far, so good! (I’ve managed it every day). While doing MATS A, I decided to make more use of the daily doodles and sketches I already do in my sketchbook. I realised that they can be a strong part of my portfolio, showing who I am and what I think about. So, next year, I aim to mine the rich seam of beautiful weirdness already in my sketchbooks, and get it on my website! I also want to look for an agent,

An animated version can be viewed on the landing page of my website This time last year, I knew so little about the illustration and licensing business. Taking both MATSA and MATSB in 2015 opened up a whole new world for me, strengthened my commitment and prepared me for professional level projects. I look forward to MATSC, building my portfolio and making lots of art in 2016!

We all worked to a consistent coloured palette and the image was inspired by the designs I made for the party paper assignment in Week 5 of MATSB. I have taken MATSA (twice!), MATSB (twice!), MATS Creating Collections for Home Decor, Bootcamp (twice!) & I also had a fantastic time at the Global Art Gathering. MATS has given me more confidence, tools and industry knowledge and the assignments have been both challenging and fun. As a result of MATS I am

He is the first image I created without using paper and only using Illustrator and Photoshop! I’ve just finished MATS A October 2015 and I’ve signed up for self-paced MATS B.

I want to work my way through MATS B and continue to work on my portfolio.
