painting + selling mini boards 🖌️
the last two weeks I was working on these mini skateboards to sell at my tattoo shop’s soft opening!
I painted these three using acrylic paint and posca markers!!
- magikarp (pokemon)
- rei ayanami x hello kitty (neon genesis)
- asuka langely x hello kitty (neon genesis)
I was definitely not expecting to sell all of them, especially not so quickly!! about 30min-1hr into the event this client wanted to buy all of them so I let him have a discount 🥰
I’d say I made a decent amount of money from it, especially being my first time selling my own art like this in person. I can’t wait to create and sell some more! 🥹

Selling art, especially handmade pieces, can be an exhilarating experience for any artist. The recent trend of mini skateboards as a canvas is gaining popularity among creators. Many artists are not only showcasing their skills but also tapping into niche markets, such as fans of anime or pop culture, to appeal to collectors. Using quality materials, such as acrylic paints and Posca markers, can significantly enhance the artwork, making it more appealing to buyers. It’s important for artists to engage with their community, whether through local events or online platforms, to showcase their work and connect with potential customers. Additionally, setting up displays in galleries or participating in craft fairs can provide the exposure needed to sell art effectively. Understanding pricing strategies and offering discounts for multiple purchases can entice buyers while promoting higher sales volume. Creators are encouraged to document their artistic process on social media as it not only captures their journey but also attracts a following that can translate into sales later on. Embracing both passion and business savvy is key to thriving in the art market.
These are sick!!!!!!
