win: $30 gift certificate!
hello! please tell us a little about yourself! Hello! My name is Nan and I am an illustrator/photographer/crafter based in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles. I started my Etsy shop a little over a year ago and am surprised and delighted by the response I have gotten so far!
you have such a unique style, how did you get started in illustration? I've been drawing my entire life, but I didn't really start illustrating until last summer when I started experimenting with ink drawings. I think that's also when I started to really get serious about my shop and developing a cohesive style.
what things inspire you from day to day? I'm inspired by so many things! Mostly every day objects that I see around my home. My typewriter, my shoes, my coffee press. Also my neighborhood is so inspiring! I based a lot of my character drawings on people I've seen walking around Silverlake.
any advice for beginners wanting to start up their own shop? I think my advice for beginners would be, if you want a successful shop you have to really work hard. Even if you have a great product, that's only half of the work. You have to do so much just to get your shop seen and talked about. Do your research, contact bloggers, buy advertising, and keep making new things to keep your shop fresh and visible. I have invested a lot of time, energy, and money into my business and I think it shows.
( EXTRA CHANCE TO ENTER! )
please check back next week to see if you are the lucky winner!
wait! there is an opportunity to gain one extra entry:
simply twitter, facebook, or blog about this giveaway
and come back and comment with the link :)

Such lovely illustrations! My favorite is Autumn Girl.
I love the Autumn Girl print!
My favorite is My Deer Lady followed closely by Press Me.
I love the prints in this shop! I love the Wild Thing Max.

Oh My Goodness. I love the Hipster Kiss version 2 because 1. I have red hair and my boyfriend has brown hair 2. we both have glasses and 3. sometimes they clink together when we're trying to actually kiss. CUTE SHOP!
This is way too hard to choose just one because they're are all amazing. I really love Sunset Boulevard bicycle, lovely ink and hip holiday.
I absolutely LOVE the Max (Where the Wild Things Are) print! Nan is so talented and her prints are so charming!
Oooh, how can I pick just one? I love the Max and the typewriters, but I think my favorite is most definitely 'Press Me,' as I am also very much addicted to my french press coffee pot. Yum.
Adorable shop!
Hi! I visited Nan's shop and bought two prints already. I would love to have more!
This one is my favorite, that I didn't get to buy:

Love her work. It's just fantastic.
Katie
Oh, my gosh. I've been a fan of hers forever. Her art is so inspiring, honestly, that it's hard to choose just one from her shop. (I Love My Typewriter's probably my favorite, though.)
:]
My coffee addition drives me to love the "Press Me" illustration that features a French Press. So cute!
love her prints! (:
♥
I looove the diana camera... neat style, nan!
the typewriter is my favorite!
brookebee at gmail dot com
It's so difficult to choose a favorite of Nan's work! I love "A Beardy Sailor" and "Lovely Ink", but honestly I could see many of her prints in my home!
~Kristi
these are so cute! i love the typewriter one and that one at the top with the little heart leaf on the ground.
crossing my fingers for this one!

However, if I win, I might put the gift certificate toward a custom print of my roommate and I as a birthday gift for her :)

I love the Sweet Tea - Pen and Ink Illustration, so cute!
OMG - "I Love My Typewriter!" (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35115026) It just makes me smile for the love letter he is waiting to receive until he can type one back... So sweet.
I like the Royal Typewriter print.
Ooh, my 3 favorites from her shop would have to be Autumn Girl, Sunset Boulevard Bicycle, and Wild Thing Max (especially since I was Max for Halloween a few months ago!) :) Hope I win!

Great shop! I love the idea book :)
Oh my favourite was the where the wild things are rings....unfortunately now sold out :(

It's so hard to pick a favorite! But it definitely is something with the vintage typewriter on it. Most notably the "Keep Calm and Type On," or the pen and ink royal typewriter. I love your shop!

Old fashioned bicycles have something about them to take note of. They bring back memories and screams hardy candy and freshly made ice-cream shops. love it.

I fell in love with Nan's work when I first saw her "Cat Pack" Print. It is one of the sweetest prints in the world. (I am little biased since I have a brown kitty). :D

the grunge typewriter!!
My favorite is the Caught in a Rain print--but all of them are adorable. So hard to choose!
So sweet! My fav illustration is Octavius Octopus and I love her dreamy photos of Paris. Thanks for a new etsy favorite :)
Looking through the store I'm really taken by the Green Beard illustration. He kind of reminds me of a garden gnome.
Everything has a wonderful sense of whimsy.

I most love: Royal Typewriter
tazimd@gmail.com
such a hard a decision, they are all so wonderful so ive picked a few. caught in a rain, my deer lady and lovely ink. ive blogged it..
http://lillieandteddy.tumblr.com/post/332380233/a-competion-here-to-win-some-lovely-prints-from
They are all pretty awesome, but I gotta say that Octavious Octopus and his Autobiography wins it for the illustration! It is just so awesome! But Tea Lights wins for photography, although the Paris ones are lovely. But there are so many to choose from!
I like My Deer Lady - Hand Drawn and Painted Pocket Notebook Journal.
