  • #ThatWomanFromMichigan is fierce, persistent, and working relentlessly to protect Michiganders and bolster our healthcare force. I think @gewhitmer and her team are doing a fantastic job, so I made this illustration for all of us to show her our support and love. ♡ ♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can buy this on a t-shirt (in a variety of styles + colors), coffee mug, water bottle, sticker, magnet, and even zip pouches. Find the apparel + accessories in my @threadless artist shop and the ceramic mugs in my @etsy shop (find both links in our profile.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 50% of proceeds from these products will be donated to Michigan’s COVID-19 Response and Recovery Initiative, which supports critical services for Michiganders impacted by the pandemic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you order something, I'd love to see you rockin' it! Be sure to tag your photos with @wildshipstudio #wildshipstudio and of course tag @gewhitmer so she can feel our love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♡ ♡ Feel free to repost this image, please just credit + tag me. ♡ ♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #resist #lovemygovernor #gretchenwhitmer #michiganmade
  • 🌿 this or that: 🌿 #marchmeetthemaker flora or fauna? Are the planties your favorite? Or are the animals where it's at? Tell me in the comments! I'm dreaming up new pins and product ideas that will involve both, so don't fret if you can't decide, but I'm curious which makes your heart sing the most. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷 by @naturesupplyco
  • 🌿 how it's made: greeting card edition 🌿 #marchmeetthemaker Step 1. Sketch out an idea, which is sometimes super rough and sometimes a bit more refined. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 2. Make the illustration magic happen! This is usually a roller-coaster ride of 'Yes, I love it, I am amazing' and 'Argghh this looks terrible, what am I doing.' Push through the ugly stages and the self-doubt with lots of pep talks, coffee/tea breaks, and probably a few mistakes that you can fix later. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 3. If it's a painting, scan it in and digitally correct any mistakes or wonky colors. If it's digital, yay, you can skip that part. Prepare the file for printing and send it to press! I personally print all of our paper goods, so this means I spend a full day at a local printshop running the presses and checking quality as prints come out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 4. Trim out the cards with a crazy-cool industrial paper cutter at another local shop, and then insert and score them ONE-BY-ONE with an electric scorer. This takes a few hours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 5 & 6. Back at the studio! Inspect, fold, and stuff each card with an envelope. Enjoy the satisfying sound of paper brushing against paper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 7. Package in a clear, cello sleeve to protect from dust, moisture, and greasy fingerprints. (And kitty paws.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 8. Admire the handiwork! And then spend hours photographing, editing the photographs, and listing the new product online for stores and customers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 9. Wait and hope with bated breath someone else enjoys the product you just made. Then feel a rush of joy and do a little dance when the first order rolls in!
  • 🌿 photography 🌿 #marchmeetthemaker I take just about all of our photos with my iPhone or my Canon 6D dslr (and lately my assistant @kelliecassel.art has been helping out!) For quick little snapshots, especially when the sun is casting intriguing shadows, I'll just use my phone and alternate between my favorite backdrops: an old work table with the richest wood top, a piece of white or black foam core, fabric, or even just the soft white walls of my studio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more elaborate flat lays, like this set-up with our lavender enamel pin, I'll set up a small table and tripod in front of a window to take advantage of natural light. Most of the little props and items I use to style with are things around my studio that I've collected over the years, like rocks, tiny pinecones, or dried lavender. During the greener months, I'll go outside and pick some pretty weeds and plants to add natural greenery. It doesn't have to be anything too elaborate! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For editing photos, I use Lightroom CC for photos taken with my dslp and the VSCO app for iphone photos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ #marchmeetthemaker2020 #illustrationartist #illustratorsofinstagram #pingame #pinstagram #enamelpin #lapelpin #lavenderlove #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #simplethingsmadebeautiful #searchwandercollect #natureisneat #pingameproper #pinsofinstagram #pinsofig #pincollector #pincollection #pindesign #pincommunity #pinmaker #pinaddict #indiemade #shopsmall #etsyfinds #etsywholesale #handmade #photosetup
  • 🎨 tools + materials 🎨 Day 22 of #marchmeetthemaker and I’m sharing some of my favorite tools and materials with you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the majority of my illustrations, I use a combination of @holbeinartistmaterials Acryla gouache (which paints like gouache but dries like acrylic), @grumbacher watercolors, and @drphmartins Black Star waterproof India ink in matte black. I recently bought myself a selection of @winsorandnewton designer gouache tubes, too, and have been really enjoying them since they are re-wetable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For tools, I use a combination of watercolor brushes in various sizes and a dip pen passed down to me from my grandfather after he passed away. I also frequently use my @blackwing pencils and @tombowusa pens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once an illustration is scanned in, I’ll use Adobe Photoshop to make any corrections or color adjustments. I also use an iPad Pro and the @Procreate app to draw digitally. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know if you have any questions about the tools I use, or if you have any tools and materials that you personally love and want to share with me! Half the fun is exploring new materials and I’m always on the hunt to try out new things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ ⋒ #marchmeetthemaker2020 #procreate #artisttools #arttools #artmaterials #gouache #watercolor #illustrationartist #illustratorsofinstagram #gouache #watercolorandink #gouacheartist #watercolorartist #abmlifeiscolorful #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #photosinbetween #soloverly #studiostyle #gritandvirtue #akinwomen #creativepreneur #pocketsofmyhome #artstudio #artstudiolife #artistinstudio #workingartist #artiststudios #womenwhopaint

If you aren’t on it yet, you can sign up by finding the link in my profile! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since we’re all stuck at home right now, I want to put together a newsletter next week to bring a little bit of joy to your inbox. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see me include? It can be Wildship-related or really anything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m also planning on having a special sale of some sort and wanted to ask you... what kind of sale do you want to see? Free shipping?
