The story behind the 6AM Shop
As you might have already guessed, 6AM is a wake up time. Back in 2013 I worked as an account manager in IT, was a newbie hobbyist artist, and my biggest dream was to leave my day job and become a “real” artist. The problem was, I had no time to practice art and grow my skills to get closer to my dream.
So I decided to start waking up an hour earlier and practice art every day before my day job. I can now tell that waking up at 6AM was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. It allowed me to start an Etsy shop, leave the accounting job and start working as a game artist!
I am a new mom at the moment, I keep working as a freelance artist and illustrator, and running my Etsy shop which I named the 6AM Shop, after a small thing that made it all possible. Recently I have discovered my great passion for printmaking, so most of my listings are linocut-related. You will find stamps, original hand pulled linocut prints & stickers, and postcards here.
Thank you for having a look!
Much love from Ukraine,
