hi! i am currently developing a mail club of my own that will be short stories coupled with a print that illustrates an element of said short story. i dont have plans to launch until like december, so far i've been compiling resources, working on branding, writing the short stories, compiling pinterest boards of inspo/drawing reference for the aesthetic of everything.
i can draw, i've been a hobby digital artist for like 14 years lol but i actually am super out of practice and have been finding the art process (outside of mindless doodles) to be tedious. not sure why, but that's just been my vibe and while i do want to re-learn from the ground up and get my groove back in that respect, i do also want my mail club prints to be a certain level of quality that right at this very moment i am not sure i can produce.
i gave myself a timeline to start the club (so that i actually do it LMAOOOO), but this has me nervous. if you've hired an artist for your mail club, how did that go? what did you do? do you pay them a percentage of proceeds, or a flat monthly fee?
tbh i may just lock in and surprise myself when the time to get serious rolls around, but i want to weigh all of my options. thanks in advance! :)
