Starting My Van Build (Inspiration)

Starting My Van Build (Inspiration)

I wasn't sure exactly how to start this portion of the retelling of my van build. Do I do it by time or by category (electric, ceiling, floor, etc) or by some other way? I decided to just start the retelling and however it unfolds will be the way I intended it to go :D.

Maybe we should start with inspiration. The inspiring examples of van builds online are endless! And I mean endless.

Creating a Moving Studio (Van Build)

Creating a Moving Studio (Van Build)

My idea was always to have a place where I could create on the road. Maybe a mobile studio that I could also use as my shop base so I could travel, fulfill online orders, and create new art. As usual, the first concepts that I had were, uh, a bit overwhelming, lol. I can have the tendency to want to do the biggest, best, most perfect thing and that became a bit of a road block. SO I decided to start a bit smaller.

Learning Procreate

Learning Procreate

I have been wanting to learn Procreate for quite some time but there were two obstacles:

1. I didn’t have an apple pencil & an iPad that was compatible

2. The prospect of learning Procreate seemed very daunting.
