A Beautiful Mess

.studio 24/7 time.

hello loves. i am in the middle of the busiest (in the best way) week. getting ready for an update Thursday morning at 10 AM featuring a new kit and the first installment of a new 100 paintings series called "Team Lovely". i cannot wait to share peeks with you tomorrow. it's my favorite new project in quite some time. 

i am also getting started on some big FAQ posts. i decided to split them up into different topics and my first post will be about daily life as an independent artist (little tips & tricks to stay in love with le work). i'm looking forward to sharing some fun little details i've never shared before. 

well, i am in serious 'creative lockdown' for the next 24 hours or so getting things prepped for our update. it's always my craziest time of the month. eat.sleep.make. 

just for fun, here are a few artists spaces that inspire me....

i am so sad today. being away from him on his Birthday is the worst. Ok, no more sad blogging, i promise.

Jeremy Larson, welcome to year number 28. it's going to be a good one! i am really excited about all of the dreams and plans we are developing together. You're the bright spot of most of my days and I can't imagine any of this magic without you. You're my best friend. XO, els
