From Sketch to Skyline: The Journey of a Handcrafted Art Print

(NYC Edition)

Hey y’all! Remember that crazy story about how my NYC skyline print started on an exhibition ticket? Well, get ready for the real behind-the-scenes scoop! I’m spilling all the tea (and ink!) on how these handcrafted beauties come to life.

The Initial Sketch:
So, picture this: me, back in 2010 (yes, I’m aging myself!), battling the NYC exhibition crowds. Suddenly, bam! Inspiration strikes! (Okay, it was more of a doodle at first, but work with me here.) Here’s the original sketch – be kind, it’s a bit rough around the edges!” (Include a photo of the original sketch or a re-creation). “You can see the beginnings of the Empire State Building there…kinda. It’s amazing how a simple doodle can turn into something so cool, right?

Choosing the Right Materials:
Now, let’s talk about the good stuff – the materials! I’m a bit of a paper snob, I won’t lie. It has to be just right. And the ink? Don’t even get me started! I’ve tried them all, and I’ve finally found my holy grail. (I’ll share the secret if you promise not to tell anyone…just kidding!).

The Handcrafting Process:
This is where the magic happens! (Or at least, I like to think so.) I start by… (describe your process in detail, with photos and short videos). “Sometimes it’s smooth sailing, other times it’s a bit of a struggle. Like that one time I spilled ink all over my desk…oops! But hey, that’s art, right?”

The Final Touches:
Almost there! This is where I add all the little details that make each print unique. It’s like the cherry on top of the cake (or the skyscraper on top of the skyline!).

The Finished Product:
Ta-da! Here it is, in all its glory! I’m so proud of how this one turned out. It captures the energy of NYC perfectly, don’t you think?

So, there you have it – the journey from sketch to skyline! I hope you enjoyed this little peek behind the scenes. Now, go check out the NYC collection and find your perfect print!
