I'm in the process of creating my little business adventure and above are the two pieces of work that started it all. I don't have a shop open just yet but you can check maddieraithby.co.uk for a little more!

I want to create work that inspires and educates people to live more in tune with nature and to cherish our planet. I want to make stuff specifically for social media - illustrated notes that people will just want to share on instagram and pinterest etc. My online shop will be full of prints of these illustrations, as well as stickers and zines hopefully. I'd also love to work with editorial and book illustrations, and surface design for eco products like travel mugs!

Aha, that's my very rambley and messy business model I guess, I'd love to know if anyone else has a similar 'diverse income streams' approach?
