My Art Journey To Building A Small Art Business In My Late 20s
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- I turned 30 recently and so naturally I was looking back at how far I've come and my long and winding creative journey from feeling stuck to building my small art business.
Making a living as an artist has been a dream of mine since I was little but I spent most of my 20s feeling stuck, trying to develop an art style, and failing to get an art business off the ground. Eventually I got myself together, started taking myself seriously and a year and a half later I'm running my own small art business!

Guys this video took us SO LONG to make because my art and photos from the last 30 years were spread across a dozen harddrives and accounts 😅 So worth it though to be able to look back at the journey I've taken to get to where I am with my art today. Would love to know where you are with your art journey!
You did a GREAT job! This was very inspiring, thank you! Wishing you continued success 💕.
Thanks for sharing. "where are you on your art journey?" Same place, add 30 years. :)
can't thank you enough for this video, I'm 27 and I'feeling super lost lately 'by lately I mean the 2 last years
This video was just what I needed! About to take the leap and pursue my dreams myself, taking some steps which some people in my life will think are crazy but I just know in my heart I need to try. I feel like this determination will set me up for success. Wishing myself luck! You are truly inspirational Mimi. Congratulations, you deserve this
I’m right at the beginning! I’ve always loved art and design but didn’t get to take it beyond secondary school. I’ve started learning to illustrate on my iPad but have been worrying I’m to late to get started as I’m 22. This video was so encouraging because it showed that trying lots of different things isn’t bad and will probably lead you to exactly where you want to be🥰 Thank you!
This video helped me a lot. I've been going through a similar journey just like yours. Last week I started posting daily on Instagram. I'm terrified I'll get bored and drop it again, but I'll watch this video once in a while when I feel overwhelmed and hopefully remember my goals and motivation. I'm 27 now. I'll leave this comment as a memory. I just want to come back after some time, when I achieve what I'm dreaming of now, and edit it. I hope we all can find the courage to be persistent and consistent. Wish me luck :)
Happy Birthday, Mimi! I just turned 60 and my journey to becoming an artist wasn’t at all straightforward! In truth, I never dreamed that I could have the kind of life that I do now. I feel more alive and more excited about the future than ever! I believe it’s never too late to become the person you always wanted to be!! Thanks so much for sharing your delightful art life with us. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! So bright!! ✨⭐️✨
Aw thanks so much! You're so right, it's never too late to follow your dreams and I love that you've found that for yourself. So glad we've been able to connect here on TH-cam and grow as content creators together 😊💕
@@MimimooIllustration 💕💖💕
Totally agree
@The Bird Artists Cottage I am very happy that you have achieved your dreams, your future looks very bright 🤩❤️
Mimi, I wish I could thank you enough. I am 27 years old and my years after school have felt like a waste. I have a degree in UX, but I have not been able to find a job. I have found peace in digital drawing and now I want to find my own art style. Seeing your journey has given me hope. Thank you so so much.
My daughters are so creative yet they struggle to know where to go to study after high school. I want them to pursue their passion-art. But they don’t believe it’s a real job. As an artist myself I’m trying to encourage them to follow their dreams. I love that you validate your journey to finding your career as an artist. I’m 50 and I did a lot of “real” jobs. But my greatest joy is creating art with God’s guidance. 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻
I just can't explain in words how much this video help me to overcome my own restrictions. I am working as a freelance graphics designer too but I was finding an inspiration to make myself convinced that I can be an Artists and make a living out of it. Thank you very much for sharing this journey.
I just started my art journey this year. Already I'm struggling every now and then but I'm curious to see where this journey can go. I love your videos :) they are always so calm and inspiring
How wonderful that you've started your own journey, I hope it's a wonderful experience!
Good luck on your journey!
Thanks Mimi for being such an inspiration! I'm in my late 20's and really feel like illustration is my calling...but sometimes I wonder if it's too late to start! Thank you for sharing your journey :)
It's never too late. 🙌❤
Late 20's. You're still young! It's never to late.
Thank you for sharing your journey! Often times videos about career journeys seem to be too polished and unrelastic. Yes, everybody mentions "downs" on the way but nobody takes the time to explain what really happened during these times. I really, really appreciate your honesty! ❤️
A year ago I also descided to change my career upside down and focus on my dreams and I was always looking for other creators who had a somewhat similiar journey. I'm still stuck in the phase where I have to work another job to make it work but starting next month I'll be working completely as a freelancer and I'm so excited for the new chapter in my life ☺️
Ooh how exciting that you'll be completely freelancing soon, I hope it goes really well for you! And thank you so much for your kind words and feeback!
That's a really inspiring story Mimi, as a 47 year old who struggles to call herself an artist that really helped xx
This makes me feel my dream of being a illustrator is attainable, thank you!
I'm laid up with a leg injury and I've been watching your inspiring videos about starting an Art Career. You helped me have the courage to try again.
It's such a beautiful journey! Mine is very loopy just like yours, and thanks to the pandemic am starting again at the age of 42!
Amazing! I hope it goes really well for you, it's never too late to get back into it 😊
@@MimimooIllustration It's my third restart! Will do my best!
Thank you for this video, it is really inspiring. I also grew up loving art, way into my teenage years- I was always doodling and creating things. Then I dropped art completely for about 10 years, followed a different path which led me nowhere. Working service jobs and feeling kind of depressed about my life. Then a couple of years ago I decided to pick up a pen/pencil again to try and make it in my dream career- to become a tattoo artist! However, I quickly realised that my art is NOT as good as I remembered it to be, becoming very disheartened. I also really struggle to draw anything decent without a reference and sometimes feel creatively stumped and like this will never go anywhere. I am telling myself the answer is to practise, practise, practise... it will come (though I am already 30 at this point so you're way ahead of me!)... Nevertheless your story is very inspiring!
You are so inspiring! I relate to you so much. I have spent my 20s dreaming of making a living from my art. I am now 28. You have inspired me to push myself to achieve the life I want. Thank you! ❤️
I'm just in my early teens.... But I know that I want to be someone like you.... Love ya
Thank you for this video. I'm in my mid 40s and am only now giving myself permission to believe I can do it. It may take a while but it will be worth it.
This video came up while I was journaling. I let pretty you tube videos play. I’ve been a fan of your Instagram for about a year. Anyhow. I didn’t mean to watch this video. I was journaling about my life and my work/life balance and what I want to do about it. This video was SO inspiring to me. I don’t want to be a full time artist. But I want art in my life. It finally hit me. I don’t want to BE a nurse. I want to BE an artist who WORKS as a nurse. I let worrying about my nursing path take up all my off work time. That’s art time! That’s creative development time! That’s MY time. And I’m taking it back.
Thank you. I love you. We are best friends now.
Such a great vedio! The part of not feeling creative and always needing" a reference to draw from" is very relatable
OMGG... Mimi, this was so inspiring. I really admire how you had the perseverance!! I think I'll have to get a few more doodles in today now, haha, because this motivated me
Aww so glad you enjoyed it! ❤
It’s October, i am 26 and i am creatively stuck, using references and questioning myself. But i have started uploading my art on insta daily. I am committed and this video is all i need ❤ Thanks
I've always felt "creative" but not "artistic". My library offered a nature journaling class earlier this year which was my introduction into watercolor. From there I gave myself permission to enjoy learning and making art.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 38 and have always been crafty but lost touch with painting and sketching regularly. This past year and a half I've been learning digital art and sooooo many other things with starting a business online with my art. I love your videos - so down to earth - and your illustrations are so magical! Thanks for sharing your story!
So inspiring. I'm kinda having a weird path myself but now at 30 I'm starting to draw again and opened a YT channel to keep me motivated!
Thank you so much for posting this clip! I have just graduated with an advanced diploma in Graphic Design. I don't want to be a graphic designer, I want to be an artist. I've been feeling very uncertain about my art journey and your clip has provided some clarity. You're very inspiring! Everything takes time :)
Thanks so much for sharing this!!! It feels good to see someone with a relatable experience. I've been on my journey since graduating art school in 2016. I moved to LA for a few years to try becoming a storyboard artist, but I got burned out trying and getting rejected all the time. And during COVID I was laid off of my day job so I decided to go back to my hometown and take another day job while continuing to work on my own comics and illustration, without always attempting to land a job at the bug studio. I'm still not COMPLETELy financially independant with my artwork but I'm really ENJOYING the work I'm doing for myself now! And I'm currently with a children's book agency as an illustrator, and I'm enjoying it so much! I still have a non art day job as you did, but I learned how to change my mindset about it as you mention and it makes all the difference. I tell myself that the day job is a patron to my art business. With that mantra, I'm able to go in everyday and do what I have to do so that I can come home and ART!
Oh Melissa what a lovely story you have, even with its twists and turns! I love that you're now enjoying your art and you're getting professional work from it without the stress of getting work at a big studio. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
You know after hearing about your journey...i feel so connected with you...i am also in my late 20's still finding what I want to do with my creativity.. you're truly an inspiration...
This is so inspiring. I'm in my late 20s and I've been working in the creative industry for years but I only recently realized that everything was not fully for "me". I work on projects given to me, all the styles, details, and everything was provided and I just have to make them. (Which thank god I can do. I was pretty much a jack-of-all-trades in mimicking art styles and that pays the bill so let's go! Great job.) But as time goes by I just feel like, none of it really feels like "me" you know. I keep comparing myself to other artists who have their own style, their own voice, and their own visuals like, why can't I do the same? I can easily create something I was asked to make but when it comes to making myself something I just struggle. As you mentioned in the video, you felt like a fraud. That's how I feel right now honestly, stuck.
After watching this though, I think I know where to start. And as cliche as this sound to all of us, I just have to start drawing and creating whatever until I find my own style. There's nothing really wrong about being able to create artwork in different styles it's just that I kind of want something I can totally say this is me, this is my own style, my identity.
P.S. You're literally living my dream right now. I want to be a children's book illustrator and have my own small business on the side. Wish me luck cause here I go!
P.P.S. I hope we all make it! (For the people in the comments section.)
In addition to being a creative illustrator, you are a VERY talented writer!
I turn 20 next week, i think about being an artist every day. So far i have gotten very little progress, i work at UPS stacking parcels and by the time i come home i am so tired and all my creativity is just struggling to come out. My natural instinct is to give up this dream because of how far fetched it is, and how practically impossible it is to create a stable income from it. Unfortunately for me, i am in control of my instincts so i try to dismiss these thoughts of quitting even when it gets rough.
Thank you for sharing this journey, you have re-lit my spark to continue working. Im putting all my eggs in the "hard work pays off" basket, and i guess i will never know if the saying is false, because i will never quit on my dreams. Thank you.
i relate to this so much- i feel like i tend to create only every once in a while & i struggle to find a common style/voice throughout my work.. so glad to see that you are achieving your dreams!!!
I am 28, medical doctor who doesn't like it. I have always been creative and I chose medical career for stability. Buy I regret it deeply. Now I found my love in art and I post my arts on Instagram everyday. The milestone is 365 day. I learn to love my art, and grow. Maybe one day, I will be able to be an artist. 🙂 Thank you for this video. Life is a journey.
My first time to ever finish an art vlog without clicking fast forward. Woow! I love the way you tell your story ❤️❤️
My art journey is just beginning. Thanks for inspiring all of us.
great video. thank you. my journey is just beginning: going on 5 yrs
I had passion for art since 6th grade while drawing diagrams for biology homework. I wanted to polish my skills by joining any art class but since my dad was a bus driver & 6 siblings he couldnt afford. I used to collect pocket money for months & months and get a sketch book and waterpainys and gel pens. I couldnt even join art degree during college since the course were pricey. When i started working i had responsibiliy of my younger siblings to support them financially since my dad lost his job. Now im 32 and i started my passion for watercolor again.
Thank you so much for the inspiring video! I’ve always been someone who leans more towards creative outlets, but I’ve always let my shyness and my fears stop me from going after my dreams of making art for a living. The fear of being a “starving artist” is something that I’ve never wanted for myself, but the older I get the more I realize I shouldn’t let that stop me. Growing up as a first generation college graduate to immigrants, I’ve always sort of felt some guilt, that if I went to school and studied what I really wanted and didn’t find a job, that I’ve let down my family and all the sacrifices that they’ve made for me. But when I graduated, I realized that’s not the case. I’ve been turning the idea of making an Instagram page for my art and as well as an Etsy shop for awhile now and this really solidified things for me. Keep up the amazing work!
As a beginner artist, this really motivates me so much. I've been following you on Instagram for months now and has just stumbled on your TH-cam today. This video inspires me to continue pursuing my illustrator dreams. I am also on my late twenties when I began and it's comforting to know that it's not too late for me to continue my art journey.
This is one of the best realistic art journeys ever! Mine is also not straight forward it’s all scrambled.
I realy realy appreciate for your honesty. Thank you for sharing this to us. Its means a lot, truly. Hope you have a blessful journey🤍🌼😍
Mimi, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your art journey. I've been struggling for years to gain the momentum to start my art business. My journey as an artist hasn't been linear either. I dealt with illness, and got out of the habit of creating art daily. Your videos give me the inspiration to follow my dreams. Thank you.
This is so inspiring!! I love your art
Dang this hit me pretty hard. I'm 28 and feel like I'm in the exact same position you were in. Recently I had a big moment where I saw two paths laid in front of me. Commit to my job that I've been at for awhile and train to take over the manager position when the current manager leaves. But I know that would slowly drain the soul out of me and I would absolutely hate it because all I've ever wanted to do is create art. So taking that in mind I've actually started my own art business journey I'm hoping with time, patience, and hard work I can one day have a success story like yours. Saying that it's definitely a big help when people like you share your journey!
So nice to hear your story, Anissa! I hope you can make your art business dreams a reality! 🥰
This experience is so relatable. Thankyou for sharing and inspiring other artists 👏
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. I’m 26 going on 27 and the only thing I’ve ever really wanted to be is a full time artist. So far my journey has also been incredibly twisting and turning and I’m still not there. I spend so much time feeling like I’m behind especially when I see other “successful” artists that are younger than me, and lately have been worrying if it’s too late for me and I should just give up. This video made me feel so much less alone on this crazy journey and gave me hope for the future.
Great video as usual! ...lots of lovely artwork 😍
Another STUNNING and amazing video from you! Love to get to know your journey :D
Well, I'm over here sobbing because I feel so SEEN. Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤
It's been TRULY inspirational. I really needed this today ♥
Thank you for sharing your journey! It’s so lovely to see how things can grow and how consistency and believing in yourself really is a big thing! 🥰
I’m at the beginning stages of my journey and it’s nice to see and hear the pathway and journey of others to keep inspired and motivated
P.s The editing on this is really great! Kudos to you guys for this incredible video which took you so long to make you can see the effort that’s gone into it ☺️
I loved the video and so inspiring ✨😍😍🧡
this reminded me of the simple and genuine intention for drawing and creating which we fight to keep independent of external life factors.
Whenever something good happened and I felt happy with the journey it was because I was following these basic rules of peseverance, intuition and passion.
It’s not easy and it’s wonderful to hear your story, this kind of sharing is what makes the world go round:)
Thanks so much for being so honest about your journey. I really needed this dose of inspiration and confidence - I finished a branding degree last year and jumped straight into a marketing job to pay the bills. But I feel so unfulfilled and would love to work for myself doing art and such. I’ve been struggling with taking the leap and this has made me feel a lot better about it. Thanks so much Mimi!
this was so motivating!
Thanks so much for this video! It was so inspiring to me and I loved how you made lists of each of the things that made all of this come together for you!!❤️
Love this!!! Welcome to the 30's Club Mimi!! There is no stopping you! 💜
Really was the video that I needed! Your art is great and your style of showing your creative journey is so real, thank you so much for sharing!
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey. I love your art style btw
Hi Mimimoo! Thankyou so much for sharing! This is so inspiring 🤗❤️
Honestly this is so relatable 🙈 great video xx
thank you for this! im 28 right now and want to start monetize off my art business soon. Your channel is very helpful and your art is so adorable it makes me happy when i look at it :) your art reminds me of my childhood
This is so relatable! Thank you so much for being so transparent with the reality and struggles that accompany life as an artist.
Mimi this video is so beautifully made and so transparent. I somehow can relate to your art journey, I also just turned 30 this year and recently just get back in making art again. I've tried many things to make money with my art but all of them did not turned out well it only last for a short period of time. But this video enlightens me and gives me courage to keep making art.
Thank you for being such an inspiration, Mimi! You are so incredibly talented!!
This is a wonderful and very honest video what I really appreciate. ❤️ And it shows success rarely comes after a few days. It took you 10 years but you never gave up. Being consistent is very important. And we definitely should never compare to other people. Every journey is different. ❤️ Thanks (also again such a beautifully done video. Love it.)
💛🧡❤️🙌thanks for sharing your story. I was crying at a couple spots, mostly because you’re words hit home so hard. That loopy journey was necessary!! You’re amazing, keep doing you!!
Thank you for sharing your journey! I just graduated from graphic design a few months ago and I'm currently in retail. My future still terrifies me and I hope I can achieve my dreams like you. I knew I always wanted to be an artist and it never felt viable until a few years ago. Even now I feel like I have to be really lucky but either way all I can do is work hard and see what happens!!
Absolutely! It definitely helps to get lucky but sometimes lucky situations come about because you've put yourself out there in the first place. Even though it's scary sometimes, for me it was scarier to know that by not reaching for my dreams I'd be guaranteeing they won't happen! ❤
Wow! Such an amazing journey. Love your dedication and grit sticking to your goals through all of that. Speaks volumes for your personality and clearly has been worth the grind!! :)
You really inspire me ❤️ I feel identified with your story. Sometimes mindset and consistency are everything. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video! I love watching other people’s art journeys, because they’re so inspirational! Your videos make me feel like we can definitely make it as artists because they’re also realistic and show the ups and downs of the journey. Keep up the great work! 😊
Hi Mimi, thank you for sharing your journey :) I can see it took a lot of hard work overcoming your own barriers. I am also looking into integrating more freelance work into my current career (which is a non-artistic field). It was really reassuring to see that no matter how topsy turvy your journey was - you got to where you wanted to be and will continue to grow! That really inspired me today and I'm so grateful you shared your journey. Your core values really resonate with me and they shine through your art too :) Can't wait to see more content and wishing you all the best with where you go from here!
Thank you for sharing your journey! I’ve always loved art but never gave myself permission to pursue it (life also momentarily took different direction). The last 12 months I’ve refound art and been finding it very meditating. Your comment about being in a position to make our dreams come true. I’m in one of those phases at the moment. Will be rewatching some of your other videos and making a plan! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!!
So much of this really resonated with me! I've known since I was a kid that I wanted to be an artist but stumbles along the way and having to support myself left me feeling like I'd never have the time I wanted to fully back myself and commit, even though in my gut I knew I HAD to. Last week I quit my job to focus on my art with no distractions, and I'm low key terrified but excited to see where I land. Thanks for this, it's inspired me so much xo
This is so good! Thank you so much for this 💕
💕🎇 I'm a few minutes in and this video is awesome. It's always interested me to see the journeys of other artists ^-^
Thank you for sharing your journey, Mimi. I am 29 (almost 30), and still in the "pre"-business phase. I admire the dedication you committed to in finding your style and the right direction for your artwork in regards to selling, etc. I hope to get a business off the ground this upcoming year. Best of luck in 2022! Loved hearing your story!
LOVE IT! glad to know I’m not the only one with an insanely skribbley-lined art journey. Appreciate the story and encouragement! 😁
Wow, thats really encouraging. Thanku, its a whole lot of helpful content, you put it up here. And its on perfect time, me too literally felt a whole lot of these struggles and still it is and its really a positive video to keep going. Thanks again and all the best.
Love this video ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey. This sounds sooo much like my journey and I just started illustrating everyday. Definitely needed this video!
This video is so inspiring!!! Thank you to share your art journey with us. It really helps and motivates me. And now I feel a little bit more confortable to say : "I am an illustrator" Thanks!!!
Also, you put so much effort on your job, i'm really happy for you that it brings you happiness (and that you can make a living of it)!!! :)
This is a great video. It shows your skills as a story teller and a videographer, as well as and illustrator and business person. I love that you were able to show that success can be measured in different ways and that the journey is the 'thing'. Very inspiring.
This video is inspiring for me because I love drawing and it’s one of my favourite hobbies. Plus I feel inspired to watch your videos every day especially if you are looking for inspiration for your artwork and turn it into a business one day. Thank so much for sharing your illustration process with us Mimi and I really appreciate it.
You are truly inspiring. I just started my art journey this year to conquer the fear of being judged and this gave me so much encouragement to continue. Thank you!
I'm right at the beginning of my art journey
I love art, always have, and recently I've started dreaming about having my own art business. I'm too scared to start it though and I don't know how to start. I don't even know if my "art" is good enough. Nobody would want to see it anyway
Thank you for sharing your journey! ❤️This would help all the people ( including me ) struggling to find an art style or even make it big in the art world. This has motivated me to keep drawing and painting everyday no matter what.
Incredibly inspiring video! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thank you for sharing your art journey. I only recently felt like an artist. I hadn’t even noticed that I didn’t believe in myself until I made that realization that I was an artist if I say I am. Thanks again for sharing. Very inspiring. ❤️
I've instantly widely smiled when your picture in front of Green Gables popped up, and I realized how well it fits your style and character. Thanks for sharing your story and tips and (late) Happy Birthday!
Your channel is a goldmine of inspiration. 😊 You have really inspired me to start drawing and I’m seeing some decent results. Thank you so much 😀
So encouraging!! Thanks so much for all your hard work and for sharing so much.
This is soooo inspiring!!! ✨
I also want to do art for a living, and it’s always hard to try to explain the journey and where I am right now hahaha. This video helped me see that I’m really not alone and that I should keep going! (^^)
Thanks for sharing your art journey in your videos :) They help a lot 💕
I love all your videos, I find them so informative and honest, but this one really hit home for me. My journey to becoming an artist who earns money from what I do has had a lot of false starts too. I've wondered what my style is, felt like a fraud when I can't make something without a reference to work from, tried to improve my skills in every art medium and genre. Something stops me giving up because I love making art so much, which keeps me going somehow. Even becoming a mother and struggling to find any time to do art didn't stop me making some art when I did have time. I often wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be with it, but your advice here has given me a ray of hope. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey so far. I've been on a similar (albeit different) personal journey and sometimes struggle with timing and motivation. So it was really good to hear your perspective and understand what you went through as well. Thank you 🙏💜
You're such an inspiring person, Mimi! Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. It definitely made me reevaluate some things on my side, and find a new motivation!
I just came across your channel and this video has really inspired me so much. I am 27 years old and have been feeling stuck for few years with my artistic direction but this has really been an eye opener. Thank you! 🌟
Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s so encouraging ❤️
I love this you are so like me I have been trying to get into the creative industries for years and I feel like I’m always trying to get my foot in the door and just can’t find the way in! LOVE the kitten video 😄 x
Thank you for sharing your unique experience and lot’s of inspiration!
I love your story! Very inspiring and motivating. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I want to be able to make living with my art too, I still have more to learn and more motivation so I can keep creating consistently. I hope that day would come true soon! 💓
