Favorite Small Art Businesses!
Okay, hear me out. I know that Thanksgiving hasn’t even passed, but with what’s been going on in the world, you might have noticed that shipping is much slower than it used to be. More people are ordering online, and the USPS is struggling to keep up with the demand alongside budget cuts and other things. On top of that, some borders are closed to receiving mail from certain countries, etc. etc. etc. Basically, it’s kind of all over the place.
I know it’s a lot to ask someone financially to support small businesses, especially right now, BUT if you are in a position to buy gifts from small businesses this holiday season, I ask that you do. Big companies will be making a TON of money during the holidays and Black Friday, especially now that people are more afraid to shop in-stores. Ordering from small businesses could be the only thing that’s keeping their businesses afloat.
So… yeah. I just wanted to share some of my favorite small art businesses that I’m obsessed with!
Just a fair warning, a lot of what these people sell are stickers, key chains, art prints, and pins. HOWEVER, there are some businesses that sell other products, so I highly encourage you to check out their stores to see what they have. To keep this post as concise as possible, I displayed three or so pictures of some of each artist’s products that either I believe accurately represents their art style/shop or just the products that I like. Each photo is linked to their respective shop page.

All of these are so cute!!! The pearl earrings are BEAUTIFUL! I haven’t even thought about Christmas yet )): It’ll be really different this year, not only because of the virus but also because of some family stuff, and I’m not really sure if I’m looking forward to it this year, even though I usually love Christmas! But oh well, we’ll see as we go. I really loved your list!! Some of my favourite small businesses are Wizard Knit (portuguese!!) and also Leora’s etsy store (IG @ minddaisies) – her tarot card bookmarks are sooo pretty!! And also I have an irl friend with an art account ( @ _artifexis)
