My name is Evy Benita. I’m a wildlife illustrator, and I started my small enamel pin business back in 2018. Since then, I have manufactured over 1k individual product designs and developed collaborative relationships with trustworthy manufacturers.

Starting my own small business was an exciting adventure, yet also terrifying. I found it difficult to find reviews on manufacturers, thus quite scary to invest my limited funds into new products. After a few hits and misses, I eventually found manufacturers that delivered fantastic quality at fair prices. But this took me a long time, and I want to save you that extra work. After all, starting a small business is stressful enough, and so you deserve breaks wherever breaks can be given.

Therefore, I decided to share what I’ve learned in this blog, because I hope that it will save you time and bring you comfort on your small business journey.

This Artist Resources blog is the place to learn how to turn your art into a profitable small business in a lowkey and organic way that still allows you to focus on creating art.

In this blog, you will find manufacturer reviews, small business tips and advice, equipment guides, and step-by-step workflows that I use for my own small business.
