In honor of my feature as Lang’s artist of the month, this week’s drawing challenge is inspired by one of my designs from their products - Donuts! |

Let your voice be heard in the Surface Design Industry Survey! |
|
I’m so excited about this survey because you know I’m all about transparency. The goal is to gather data anonymously so we as surface designers and artists can get a pulse on things that might normally be touchy topics like pricing, income streams, and more. If you’re an artist, surface designer, or someone that’s earned at least $1 from art licensing, designing art for companies, selling your own products, selling on POD sites, etc. you can participate in the survey. |

It should take about 10 minutes and is completely anonymous. You’ll also have the option to receive a detailed report of the survey directly from Sketch Design Repeat — with OR without signing up for their newsletter. Also, as a thank you for participating, Shannon will be donating $3 to charity for every designer who completes the survey — up to $2,000 in total. You’ll get to choose inside the survey which charity she’ll donate to on your behalf. You can get a copy of the 2021 survey results here. I was blown away by how detailed this 36-page report was! Here’s a few highlights from the 2021 survey: |

As artists, I think it’s so important to share our perspectives on these things so that we can all learn, grow, and lift each other up! |

This week’s holiday gift guide feature is this cozy Society6 throw blanket! I was thrilled to find out that Society6 ships directly to my apartment in Thailand, so I knew I had to snag one of these soft and shiny blankets! The quality is amazing and it’s seriously so soft. It would make a fabulous holiday gift for your loved ones (especially the ones who are always cold like me 🥶). You can check out the full process of making this blanket from digital design, to uploading it to Society6, to receiving the physical product in this Reel. It never gets old to see my work on products, and I’m so happy with how this one turned out! |

Have a fabulous week! I can't wait to see your donut designs. Don't forget to share them on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can like, comment, and share! |
