Hello! We are Sarah and Jodie, twins who run a bakery by day and draw things by night. Side gigs can be tough, especially when your day job is full time, but we’re powering on to try and turn our creative hobbies into creative careers. In episode one we reflect on our creative practices so far and discuss what we want to achieve by the time we’re 30. Jodie wants to free herself from Etsy, Sarah wants to get more commissions and both of us some day want to write and illustrate books. How the hell do we make that happen? Follow along on our journey towards becoming “real artists”.
