Hi First name / friends!
I loved seeing your holiday patterns last week! Here are just a few of the fantastic #CreateWithCatCoq submissions from last week's challenge!
 
 
#CreateWithCatCoq - Get Cozy!
I was recently in the US to visit family for Thanksgiving and it was cooooold! (At least compared to Thailand! 😆) But there’s something about the cold weather this time of year that gets me excited to cozy up as I spend time with loved ones! 

Your #CreateWithCatCoq challenge is to draw your favorite thing about cold weather! Think fuzzy sweaters, warm cups of cocoa, a crackling fire, whatever makes you feel those cozy vibes! Share your work on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can see what you make!

Learn to Digitize Your Art
This Christmas Sweater print was created by digitizing an acrylic painting in Photoshop. Learning to digitize my artwork was the key to opening up the world of surface design and print-on-demand, and now I want to pass that knowledge on to you!
 
In my most in-depth digitization class, Digitize Your Art to Sell Online, you’ll learn how to make sure your artwork translates beautifully from paper to screen. 
 
There is so much more to the process than just scanning in your artwork and uploading it to sell online. What you do in between those actions can make the difference between an average piece and a best-seller.

Do you have a goal of starting or growing your art licensing career in the new year? 
 
Landing licensing deals is more than just crafting a pitch or putting your work out there on Instagram. The backbone of a successful art licensing career is a successful portfolio.

This is a 3-day live event that includes everything you need to know to plan, build, and pitch your portfolio so you can reach your art licensing goals in 2023!
 
I’ll be sharing my experiences with building and pitching portfolios along with nine other industry experts.
