About Mable
SURFACE DESIGNER, MENTOR & GUIDE
Hi, I'm Mable, a surface designer based in

Melbourne, Australia and I have a background
in journalism and marketing. I also have a
passion to help aspiring artists like you to
achieve success in your creative career.
With over a decade of experience as a creative

entrepreneur, I love working with creatives to
plot, strategise and build their art empire - and
with the right strategy, it can be so much FUN.
It’s my mission to help people make their

dreams of being an artist and surface
designer come true. So, if you're ready to turn
your creative dreams into reality and make
your mark in the world, I'm here to support you
every step of the way.
xx,
Mable
How to Use This Guide
GRAB HOLD OF YOUR DREAMS (AND

APPLE PENCIL) AND TAKE
CONSISTENT ACTIONS TOWARDS
YOUR DREAMS. YOU HAVE THE
POWER TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING.
Welcome to the ultimate Prompt, Pitch, and POD Guide! I'm absolutely thrilled you're
here! Brace yourself for an artistic adventure.
Creating art consistently is like a superpower that can help you unlock your creative
genius; find your unique signature style; and whip up stunning collections fast. Have a
spare minute? Read this blogpost I wrote about the power of doing a 100 day challenge:
https://mabletan.com/2020/01/19/why-100-patterns-100-days-is-so-powerful
This art challenge is unlike any other because it's packed with a year's worth of art
prompts. But it's not just about the art; I’ve added the best time for when to pitch your
collection to companies. There's also a handy timeline for uploading your art to print-
on-demand platforms like Spoonflower which will hopefully, increase visibility to your
shop and designs. More eyeballs, more sales - positioning at its best!
This year, I added some non-time sensitive trending themes so that you can use it to
pitch anytime of the year. Art directors are always looking for new work, especially if
it’s florals, food, fruits, birthday and kids related. That way, you have a well-rounded
portfolio that’s ready for any situation!
I've got something special for you – you know the part that usually trips us designers?
Those pesky tags, keywords, and social media hashtags. Don't worry, I've got you
covered for each theme.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
I hope this guide adds a spark to your surface design

journey! Just a heads up, the seasonal themes follow the
U.S. timeline, but once your art is ready, feel free to
pitch it to companies worldwide, even in Australia.
Remember to share your fantastic creations on

Instagram using #mabletansartchallenge, and give me a
follow at @mabletandesigns. If you’re loving this art
challenge, send me a DM – I'd love to hear about your
artistic adventures.
And here's a golden rule: enjoy the process! Whether you

skip a day, a week, or a month, it's all good. Life can be a
bit messy and unpredictable, and the last thing you need
is to stress about it. I'll be your biggest cheerleader,
rooting for your success.
Best of luck and tons of creative joy coming your way!
xx,
Mable

Final Words
You made it to the end friend, I hope you had the BEST time with this art challenge.
There may have been times you felt like giving up, flipping the table, throwing your art
tools out the window, but if you persevered through all the hard feelings, YOU ARE A
LEGEND.
Give yourself a big pat on your back and feel proud. So now that you’ve reached the
end, no what?
Here’s a tip: Look at all the work you’ve created and see if you can refine them, change
the motif scale and contrast, use a different colorway.
If you’re wondering how you to write your first email out to art directors, go to my Artist
Hub which has ALL the free resources I’ve created. I have written my swipe file on how
to draft your first email, and then, a follow-up email just so they know you’re serious
and committed about working with them. Art directors are busy folks, so they’ll
appreciate the gentle nudge. Just remember to stay polite in all your correspondence
as it will reflect on your professionalism. A little kindness goes a long way.

In case you need some additional help, you can find a bunch of products and services
that I offer. For instance, I have a digital artist planner, an ebook on how to license your
work and a one-to-one three-month coaching call.
You can check it out on my new website for surface designers: I Am An Artist Today ←
I’m here for you, rooting for you and believing in your talent and possibilities.

Mable
