The Milkyprint story
In May 2016, my journey with Milkyprint began. It all started with me following a few artists on Instagram and drawing inspiration from their work. The name "Milkyprint" was a random and spontaneous idea. I initially focused on creating serious watercolor sketches, which later evolved into lighthearted doodles, and eventually, silly digital drawings. Currently, I utilize Procreate on an iPad Pro for my creations.
As I consistently posted one drawing per week on Instagram, my follower count began to grow. Concurrently, I discovered print-on-demand (POD) platforms like Society 6 and Redbubble. I started uploading my artwork to these websites. After two months on Society 6, I achieved my first sale—a Milkshake shower curtain. Each sale, even the small ones like a sticker on Redbubble, fueled my motivation.
I express special gratitude to Redbubble and Society 6 for promoting my work on their social media accounts and websites. Additionally, I extend my thanks to Picame, Ohh Deer, Tee Public, Threadheads, Whale and Bird and Thortful for featuring my pieces.
I am genuinely thankful to every buyer for your support. What excites me the most is knowing that each buyer hails from a different part of the world. I thank God for granting me these precious opportunities. The encouragement and support from my Instagram followers are also incredibly uplifting. Thank you for laughing at my silly jokes :)
Thank you so much for reading my story and hope this inspires you not to give up on your passion.
