Guess what - I’ve opened an Etsy shop! If you’re not one of the people who’s had their ear talked off about my love for graphic art and design, this might take you by surprise. (And if you have had your ear talked off, well, thank you for your patience!)
Social media changed between the releases of my second and third novels (Simply Sara and A Table by the Window, if you’re counting). I started designing my own marketing graphics during my first release with WaterBrook. In my post-college, pre-publishing days, I’d had a small photography business and had become more than passingly familiar with the art of photo editing. At first, making my own marketing graphics was a matter of adding text to images.
But I also studied art in college, and markets such as The Hungry Jpeg and Creative Market introduced me to the joys of non-standard brushes and styles, and soon I was making my own artwork and custom pieces to give as gifts. I learned new skills and got faster and better. Well – faster at the doing. The deciding still takes time.
Over the last couple years, I realized I’d built up a number of graphics in my stash, and I’d had friends and readers asking about purchasing prints. So – now that I’ve more or less settled into my new home and Jane of Austin is out in the world, I'm excited to make them available to everyone!
To celebrate, I'm giving away a graphic each to two readers - use the form below to enter. Click the logo below to check out the shop!
