There you have it – three different years and three different lots of jobs snagged from work created for Make Art That Sells!

Katie says: “I think the most fun part about creating illustrations for the home décor market is that sometimes a piece will be made exactly as you envisioned it, like the snail pillow; and sometimes a company will take your art from a plate and create a whole different product line, like the Anthropologie bedding set. It’s a thrill in both cases to see your art transformed!”
