I enjoy creating art that represents us! Did you know last year I had the opportunity to create designs for a company and the products featuring my designs are on store shelves right now! I canโ€™t tell yโ€™all who or what (for now) so for now check out these designs I mocked up! What else could you see this design on?โœŠ๐Ÿฝ

Hey! My name is Travis A. Thompson and . From the beginning Iโ€™ve been against the use of AI in illustration. For more reasons than I care to list right now. But Davide said it best:

โ€œAI can be a useful tool, but a paintbrush without the hand and eye of an artist, is just a piece of wood.โ€ -

How to Draw Digitally! Drawing digitally can be a bit overwhelming but these are the steps I consistently use when adding color to a drawing Iโ€™ve done. Each step is essential in helping to ensure you have an aesthetically pleasing finished product. Any Questions?

As many of you have embarked on this journey of entrepreneurship I thought Iโ€™d continue to be transparent along the way. I saw several freelancers posting what they called the annual report of their income breakdown. And I decided Iโ€™d create my own.
I thought it was an interesting study of where all the money I made came from but it also gives me a chance to adjust my focus where needed. For example my Misc. section comes from revenue from YouTube and SkillShare. One my personal goals this year is to post more lessons to SkillShare as 2024 continues.
I figured this chart could also provide other creatives or people wanting to go into entrepreneurship with ideas on creating multiple streams of income.
Let me know any questions you may have. Feel free to DM them.

Thank You God! Today marks one year since I left Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. I started teaching at Reid Park Academy in 2011 ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ then headed over to Devonshire ๐Ÿซฃ and finished at Newell ๐Ÿ˜. I resigned in November 2022, taught kids for the last day on December 19th and walked back in from Winter break to turn my keys in on January 3rd (I made sure I chose my last day as that teacher workday after the winter break to get those last few dollars ๐Ÿ˜‰).

Simply put, this last year has been AMAZING! I was able to complete my first full year as a full time Illustrator. I helped authors bring their dreams to fruition and even got to work on my own stuff.

The highlight was being INVITED to pitch my Christmas wrapping paper to Walmart and the pitch went pretty good. I wonโ€™t act like it was all good for the full 365 days though. Entrepreneurship is GHETTO! And many days had me shook. But I stayed the course and saw it through.

Bottom line is, I did it. And you can too! ๐Ÿค—
