This class is a double whammy:

• • You will participate in a 12 day illustration challenge so you design a calendar

• • You will walk away with everything you need to make and sell your own art calendar

After taking this class you will have made a new 12 piece art collection, and there are so many other opportunities to leverage that art into other income streams. You can add your work to your art licensing portfolio and shop it around to manufacturers to create passive income. You can turn your calendar artwork into greeting cards, tea towels, stickers, and more and sell them on your own website or Etsy shop. This is what I do in my own business so that I’m getting all the opportunities out of each illustration that I’ve made.

But this class is about more than just creating 12 pieces of art and slapping them onto a calendar template. The best calendars tell a story.

Artists are storytellers. We convey emotion, experiences, and observations through our art. If you are able to tap into your ability to tell a story across a body of work, you will find that you are naturally drawing the ideal customer towards what you create.

What story do you want to tell? Do you want to Educate? Inspire? Challenge? Let’s think about that first and foremost when we dive into this 12 day challenge.

This class is for creatives, artists, and illustrators who are feeling comfortable making art and feel that their own unique creative voice is emerging. As long as you have a medium that you love to work in and have the desire to see your art on your own calendar, this class is for you. I will be completing my art challenge in ProCreate. Also, I use Adobe Illustrator at the end to put together my calendar, so that is a big plus if you have that program.
