NOT STARVING
Here are four of our favorite artists selling their work on Etsy this month.
The Artist’s Life
Becca Stadtlander at
beccastadtlander says
of her online illustra-
tion shop: “My creative
business has helped
me develop as both an
artist and professional,
most notably in my pur-
suit of growth and new
ideas.” Lisbel Gavara
of lanomadaillustra
tion says that for her,
making art for a living
allows her to enjoy the
simple things in life:
“drawing, knitting, tak-
ing care of my plants,
traveling with just a
backpack and observ-
ing people when I visit
new cities.” Oksana
of TukoniTribe agrees
and says, “When you
postpone what you
like because of money,
you risk never coming
back to it, or worse,
you might think, ‘Oh,
one day!’” We love
how these artists are
living out their pas-
sions. Check out their
products at etsy.com. ■
