can confirm this is best channel on youtube. also love the editing. and filming. u rly give us 4k magical film like video quality and then also cute stuff like toad + toad sound effects. its truly iconique. (
I love how casually you say "I had a little cry". I need to rethink how relevant my little cries are and just embrace them for what they are like you 😌I hope you enjoy your new studio! I've done both working in a studio and working at home, the only advantage about the studio I felt at the time was that I shared it with close friends and we had the best time, while still being productive! But I believe that regardless of liking it or not, giving it a try will be an enriching experience!
When it cut to James sorting postcards I had a second being like, “omg Leigh what happened to your hand?!” Anyways glad you aren’t suddenly very hairy thank you for another great vlog 🥰
Congrats on the new studio and natural light enhancement tip: use a simple photo reflector screen or just a white piece of board (like a big piece of cardboard, mat white on one side and black on the other if you want to absorb light/ reflections). 🤪 📷
Hydro flask claim idea. Share this video with them so they can see your sticker vs. claim struggle is real. Then plea your case for keeping the flask as a pencil/pen cup so you can keep your stickers. Because you love their product and your stickers and you shouldn’t have to sacrifice one love for another.
so inspiring as always. 11/10. five stars. every time. ALSO I learned the super hard way (going to the emergency clinic near me) that the most effective way to drink water is during meal times. Chugging it without anything on your stomach can flush out good electrolytes that help us retain water. Which if that happens it can dehydrate you more???? I feel like my whole life is a life. thought id share
wow, huge character arc for you!! a new studio space, congrats Leigh. Don't stress, you'll figure it out and the separation will probably be really great for you! I also loved the Patreon awards for last month, thank you so much! hope it is warm and sunny there for you! 🌞
Top tier vlog! The quality was amazing, and the content was stellar. Work was rather tiring today, so this was a perfect little sit down treat! I honestly live for Toadie and the sounds he makes at this point. Him and all the other doggo's out there give me life. The little pics of toad and his little sounds made me cackle every time, without fail. I also have to say that you're facial expressions during this vlog were an absolute vibe and I'm here for it. Hope you are doing well Leigh!
to Leigh (aka my favorite artist) i ordered my first print from you in 2017 and have been in love with your work since. your Instagram, videos, etc.. are all so special to me and have the best vibes. my boyfriend got me the “I am artist” pin for Valentine’s Day years ago because he knew I loved your work so much. i have kept every envelope u have sent me cuz they’re always so cute and cool ! u inspire me to achieve my goals and dreams !! im excited to put my new stickers on my water bottle and flash it to the gym bros at the gym !! i can’t wait to continue supporting u and seeing how u grow ! - Alexandra / aleanim
Congratulations on your new studio Leighit was meant to be so embrace and enjoy .. herc looked cute on your shoulder I love his expression he's boss there I'd say he acts like a boss for sure 🥰
Those Patreon rewards look amazing! 😭 Really missing your postcards and stickers! I had to give up Patreon due to paying off debts asap. I'll be coming back to support you as soon as I can!! I'm currently collecting frames for my Leigh Ellexson wall and need more! ❤
super excited to see how your studio works out! i finally used some of your stickers to decorate my water bottle. it is now beautiful and for that i thank you
I love all the birds. My grandfather and I would watch birds together and he would show me in the book which ones we were watching. So in honor of him I got a tattoo of two birds in a tree. I really want one of those postcards you have!
I am so happy i got to be here for the premier even though i definitely took advantage of patreon early access and watched this twice yesterday :) I could watch all these vlogs on repeat all day long I love having you on to keep me company while i create leigh!! I cant wait to see the new studio set up ! good luck with moving stuff!! lots of love
Oh, I am so excited to see your new studio! congrats to that! It looked really nice! and "the sun controls my business" was hilarious; The toad noices were great and thanks for sharing all of this. always looking forward for a new video of you. keep going. you rock!
You’re doing amazing!! Those photos look wonderful and I’m so happy you’re getting an outside studio! And one you can walk to?! 👏👏👏 Also shout out to my favie, Herc! My birdie loves dirt in my plants too! 😂
Just pull your stickies off like you did 0073.uv's and stick it in sketchbook maybe? You'll still have them. Ok idk if it's just me, but that is an obscene amount of tape on the washi tapes box😱 Who'd you get the washi tape done with if you don't mind me asking? Congrats on the new studio!🙌🏼 Def want a studio tour once ready please, Leigh you know we all do 🙏🏼💙✨ You did amazing nonetheless with the product photos, I'm glad you still used them. But I am grateful you showed us the ups and downs of taking product photos because I am learning for when I open my art shop up🤗 Also, love hearing Toadie's old man snores in the bg😂
Congratulations on your new studio space! I literally opened an co-working space (2 weeks before the pandemic hit…don’t recommend that) because I needed to get my business / studio out of the house!! It’s so good! Some people have rented studios at my space and realised six months in they actually prefer working from home which is totally fine but most people are so happy they have a seperate location for their studio 🙌 I hope it’s an amazing experience for you
still watching, i love the vlog!!! just an idea for your printer that only prints black: that's like what happens with most manga productions, they can only print full black. so to get grey tones, they use screentones (many little dots in different sizes and/or distance from each other) to simulate greyscale. and afaik procreate does have screentones that you can use to fill in areas in your drawings. that would give you a lot more options for your black & white stickers :))
Congrats on the new studio space!! It’s going to be absolutely amazing ~ I’m sure!! Can’t wait to see what you do with that space, it looks very cool. Also- sun totally runs my life full stop … and I won’t have it any other way… well except when the lack of it makes product photography a pain. I feel the whole “oh they look good” *uploads* “nope-nope-nope they look 💩” problem! 😆☀️
Dyinggggg to get some of your prints. Still no shipping to Australia? 😭😭😭 its so strange because other big box retailers get in fine but not the little guys? ☹
Leigh!!! You should try a sun light! They are technically for your mood (I think?) but can also be great for product photos if the sun isn’t out! They are supposed to simulate the suns light ✨ also- big muscle Leigh is making her debut lmfaoo
Just a little side note, would you consider using your dented hydro flask as a vase so you dont lose your stickers and maybe buy a new hydro flask to use? (maybe) also, love your vlogs
Hey, Leigh. Sorry if the question has been answered, but I wanted to ask about your filming equipment and I was wondering if you plan on making a separate video about this anytime soon?
ty for keeping me company while I do colour tests for a project. Also, "the sun controls my business" lmao I love that
the sun is at least one step above me in this biz fr
can confirm this is best channel on youtube. also love the editing. and filming. u rly give us 4k magical film like video quality and then also cute stuff like toad + toad sound effects. its truly iconique. (
that 4k quality really pleases me. I now am spoiled and can't live without it. je suit francais, merci.
I'm sorry for my English autocorrect, you know what I mean.
honestly
mrbest better

Omgggg I can't wait til you thrift all the goodies and furniture for the studio! So bright and wonderful!! I'm so excited for thissssss!!
Thanks!
That’s awesome to have your own studio space!! Having a separate place to do Art things is so inspiring/productive. Can’t wait for a new studio tour!!
Add yellow tones in editing, and brighten. If you have, my apologies. 🌞🌞🌞

The toad sounds were everything, absolutely love being a little puppy patron, and 100/10 would recommend this channel and the yeah maybe podcast

yeah i thought, wait leighs hand looks ROUGH and then i was like... oh wait it's james, duh.. lol
Congrats on the new studio and natural light enhancement tip: use a simple photo reflector screen or just a white piece of board (like a big piece of cardboard, mat white on one side and black on the other if you want to absorb light/ reflections). 🤪 📷
I love that the dishwasher noises make your videos sound like a cool coffee shop. + the jazz vibing in the background ugh LOVE!!!!

Hi Leigh! I'm so happy you got the studio space! Congratulations!
Love that every time I watch these and Leigh says to drink water with the video, I’m always sitting down for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee 😭
I love all the birds. My grandfather and I would watch birds together and he would show me in the book which ones we were watching. So in honor of him I got a tattoo of two birds in a tree. I really want one of those postcards you have!

Congrats on the new studio!
ohmygod Leigh, I am so excited for the things that are coming for you!! May you enjoy every part of the new studio and more :D

Congrats on the new space!! That's VERY exciting! :)

Super exciting about the new studio space but I'm already so I love with you current space heh.
I like how you imitated the movement of the reel pictures. that was my favorite part of this video :)
Congrats on your new studio!! I hope you enjoy the pleasure of some work life balance!
Loving your hair 😍 💕 makes me wanna have my straight fringe and green highlights back 🥰🔥
I love that cat in the flowers! it looks just like my friends cat
still watching, i love the vlog!!! just an idea for your printer that only prints black: that's like what happens with most manga productions, they can only print full black. so to get grey tones, they use screentones (many little dots in different sizes and/or distance from each other) to simulate greyscale. and afaik procreate does have screentones that you can use to fill in areas in your drawings. that would give you a lot more options for your black & white stickers :))

congrats on the studio space, looks like a nice place
Wait you're in cinci?? I didn't realize! It's cool seeing other artists from Ohio. I'll have to check out that art supply thrift store at some point!
loving the toad edits so much
Dyinggggg to get some of your prints. Still no shipping to Australia? 😭😭😭 its so strange because other big box retailers get in fine but not the little guys? ☹
Leigh!!! You should try a sun light! They are technically for your mood (I think?) but can also be great for product photos if the sun isn’t out! They are supposed to simulate the suns light ✨ also- big muscle Leigh is making her debut lmfaoo
I am interested!!!
2:25 "is this a whole roll of tape?" it's actually many rolls of your own tape!! (on the inside anyway hehe)
cracked up when the first toad sound came through!
Also loved the toad effects. They were very fitting haha
mg that happened to my hydro too and I don't want to lose my stickers either ahhh :(
Great video! Also thanks for posting which pen you used during sketching. I was totally going to ask 😅.
I’m so excited for the new studio and to see how it all comes together!!!
You are AMAZING! Periodt! 🐸
Yayyyy! I get so happy when your videos come 🙃 ♥️ 🎨
I'm so sad that you don't ship to Australia :( I love your work so much!
Just a little side note, would you consider using your dented hydro flask as a vase so you dont lose your stickers and maybe buy a new hydro flask to use? (maybe)
also, love your vlogs
I could watch you draw pigeons all day
I love drawin me a good pigeon
Love your videos! Did you stop using SS for your store? Thinking about using it over Shopify.
I’m still using squarespace!!
The Mario party toad sounds improves a video 1000%🤣🤣 so glad you got a new studioooooo
LOL AGREED
Love your channel, best on TH-cam 👍 btw have you tried Snapseed for editing photos? Its really good, can recommend
Peace & love!!
Best channel ever! 💖💖
Hey, Leigh. Sorry if the question has been answered, but I wanted to ask about your filming equipment and I was wondering if you plan on making a separate video about this anytime soon?
I use a Sony a5400 and a 35mm lens :-) I also have a lens that comes with camera that I use sometimes!
You can something called undu to get your stickers off :)
Nice video. So inspiring.🥰🌿
I literally don't put stickers on my water bottle because I drop it a lot and know I'll have to replace it eventually so that was a mood
What will your studio in your house be now that you have a new studio externally ?
We are going to work on cleaning it up a bit and then it will be my bedroom !
Our toad queen 💗
Still not NZ or AU mail? I'm not sure why? I have purchased heaps from US over the past few month and it's made it here no issues.
The USPS is still rejecting mail I’m trying to mail to the AU and NZ :-( some other postal services are shipping there but I don’t use them
@@LeighEllexson oh nooo thats such a shame, it must be just them then. Hopefully it will go back to normal soon!!!!
Hey Lovely, what ear piece are you using in this vid to listen to podcast/music?
Oh no I missed the premiere! >:/ Ah well, can’t wait to watch the video! They are always the spiciest of content!
Hi hi! What brand earphones do you and James use?? Thank you!! love u!🧚🏼♀️🌱✨🌷
They’re beats! :-)
