Studio Vlog: A Day in My Life as a Full-Time Artist 

The world needs more Jess Karps

You always have the best music in your videos :) Congrats on another finished sketchbook. I love your videos and I can't wait for more. Love an Light to you! :)

Every page in your sketchbook is a masterpiece, you inspire me to draw everyday

omg, this was insanely beautiful! with every video i can easily see your evolution and willingness to experiment and grow, from the editing, cinematography, music, variety of subjects, i’m lost for words to express how special and beautiful you are, how grateful i am to be a witness to your journey😌 you are such a complete artist and i admire your hard work and dedication to everything you’re doing, thank you for being such an inspiration! i loved the affirmations and the fact that you make sure you balance everything by also creating space for your soul, body and mind to rest and align and celebrate with gratitude all the experiences they help you create for yourself and us❤ love you Jess

One of your best videos! The art journey is not just about the finish line or the deadline, it's the process that fulfils us as much as the finished project! And this video reminds us to take a step back, if needed, and just breathe, instead of being on the move all the time! Simply amazing and beautiful, filled with warmth! Sending ❤ your way!

For your first leaf image with the shoes, you should totally continue the illustration outside the boarder of the paint and do crosshatched pen illustration of the the leaves blowing away as you get towards the edge of the page. ❤

Awesome ending to your video . I can't express how happy I am that t found you. You have made a major positive impact on my life. You are very special in many ways.😊

I am grateful for you Jess.. for the inspiration and joy you bring and for sharing your wonderful creativity with us! Thank you 😊

At the end of the video I felt so relaxed and peaceful. You finished the sketchbook with a flourish of autumn rainbows and hearts and love. Thank you again Jess and just continue being you. 🧡💛💚

Is that possible to be that deep and intimate? I totally forgot this was the studio vlog. Thank you so much, I can't describe how much. Wish you all the best.

Have so much fun at the convention! Thank you for the great meditation/affirmations and gratitude at the end of the video. Sending lots of love and light right back to you! 💜

Hello Jess, you are such an incredible artist and also very very special- I really appreciate the positivity you share with the world. Love

What a whirlwind of a day, and wonderfully creative. I'm brand NEW to the Jess Karp world and loving it (I may show up as "the crabby crafter/my take at the lake" too, it's all me). ONE suggestion for your meditations: @28:30 "...I release all resistance... " As you know everything is/has energy, words are no different. Focus is no different. I'm a "positive language taskmaster", lol and I teach people the importance and POWER of their words and focus. The focus of that particular affirmation is "resistance". Even though you're "releasing it" the focus is still on something quite negative. Instead, try "I embrace every opportunity to express my creativity fully". NOW the focus is EMBRACING something YOU WANT rather than pushing against (releasing)/focusing on something you don't want. HUGE DIFFERENCE. As you share your exemplary gifts with us, I share some of mine with you ☪🤓💫 Looking forward to getting to know you here. (I know it's LONG over, but CONGRATS on being asked to be a presenter at the Lightbox event, that's too cool and SO fun. I hope you enjoyed every single aspect of it.)

Jess, you are amazing. Thanking for always being so kind and generous with your community.

I love these videos! They always help to know more about the person you're watching, and are super relatable with the things we need to do daily! Also loved the guided meditation in the las minutes of the video, it's nice I watched it at my relaxing time so I could actually do the meditation and wind down, thank you Jess😊 I love your art❤

I love your positivity and energy! Thank you for being an inspiration not only in art but also in taking care of one's well-being.

THIS WAS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL JESS !!!!! please make more of these vlogs, we want to see more of it !! ❤❤❤❤

So grateful to witness your day, your decision making, your progress, your rest and rejuvenation. Thank you for showcasing the power of inspiration, positivity and consistency. Sending love and light as I show up to my sketchbook xxx❤

I love all your videos, Jess. You inspire me not to give up and trust the art process. Your words and art are such a great and wonderful powerful totem to the outside world. So thank you for making your videos and you rock!

The other day when I watched this video, I was in a bit of a rush, so I skipped the affirmations, today I was also a little busy, getting ready for work and tidying the house a little before leaving, I left the affirmations on while I tidied up and readied myself, I am glad I did, it made the tasks I was completing feel purposeful and peaceful somehow. And it was great. Keep up the great work Jess!

This was truly the inspiration and peace I needed today. Looking forward to creating this week with some ideas that surfaced while watching you sketch and paint. Grateful for your work, love and light that you put out into the world consistently. And how cute is Matilda?!!

your works are as warm as your personality jess......i have been watching your content for years now..never fail to bring a smile on my face and make my day better

Hey Jess, really lovely video, you’re so good at capturing things as you go and making it feel like we’re right there next to you watching you create. So many juicy beautiful close ups you got. It always amazes me how much you can accomplish in one day, you’re so fast and deadly with your pencil or brush. The illos were so cute and I loved the texture you were able to get from the traditional bear to the procreate final and make it all work so well. Great vibes, thanks for taking us along with you. I feel super grateful and energized by your guided gratitude meditation and could say Yes with a capital Y to everything you said. Cheers 🙌

You're awesome Jess.. love you for the person you are and your wonderful creative artwork creation process ✨️ You always inspire me. Lots of ❤ & power to you.

What a treat of a video from you Jess!! after a two week vacay in Israel I come back to this incredible video! Thank you! This is what I needed today. I am ready to get comfortable and start painting! Thanks for the daily affirmations, I will have to watch this video many times!! You are such a gifted and talented artist. You have been blessed with so many gifts and thank you for sharing all with us. May God keep blessing you with more creativity!!!!🥰❤😸Happy Fall season!!!!

wow, Jess. I don't even know where to start and I wouldn't know how to end. Being in love is an understatement if ever there is such a thing. Among all the gifts and talents you have, the best is your heart. You have such a beautiful heart it permeates through the screen and into our environments. Thank you for sharing your goodness with us and a huge virtual hug right back to you.

Thank you for the inspiration both for my own art thinking and for meditative thinking. It’s all a part of our creative processes.

Thank you Jess I needed that sweet gesture of yours 💜🫶🏻

This was something i really wanted to see rn! I am so happy you chose to upload this video, pls do more cozy art vlogs in the future 💜

Loved this video. Thank you for taking us on your day. Please do more, but continue your other videos too. You’re so inspirational xx

Love love love! Thank you Jess 🫶🏼

Perfect way to start my Monday. Thank you for sharing. Loved it.

Loved the meditation and all the affirmations. I was watching this as my last video before bed and it was such a calming way to end my evening. Thank you!

Love you creations in the video. Looking forward to you JESSTOBER!!! 🍁🍁❤

I think that the song can help you calm down and be grateful for the artist and your mind that you relieve tension. I learned.❤

I LOVE YOUR AUTUMN LEAVES, I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS AND I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO, THE TEDDY BEAR IS SO CUTE, THE THIRD ONE IS SO SWEET, I WISH I COULD BE IN THAT EVENT, TO SEE YOU IN PERSON AND OTHER ARTISTS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I LIVE IN EUROPE.

Great video and lovely insight to what it's like in your daily life! I always hated fall and winter but I'm starting to find a new appreciation for it, sitting inside being warm and cosy whilst making art. Your fall illustrations are stellar!! If I could like the video 2x I would !

Thanks Jess, another wonderful, calming and uplifting video 😍 can't wait for the sketchbook tour 😁😁😁

I enjoy your videos immensly, I watched it today as a sort of co-working video while I am scanning and posting art to my shop as well :) The meditation bit at the end left me with a smile on my face too!

I continue to adore you Jess ❤ thank you for sharing with us

LOVE THESE ILLUSTRATIONS❤❤❤

I loved the meditation and affirmations at the end! Thank you.

That's pretty cool!!! You make your very busy schedule look so easy!!! I also really enjoyed the affirmations at the end. It's important to slow down and just be grateful. Thank you and I agree with another commenter, there needs to be more Jess Karps in the world 😊

There is so much of divine magic ❤️ in you & in your art❤ always love you jess❤

I am grateful for you. ❤

Lovely! I appreciate you explaining the 'why' of your color and subject choices in the cozy bear piece. Congratulations on Lightbox Expo! BTW, I love all the berries but strawberries are #1 for me. Also, thank you for the positive affirmations/meditation ❤🌹💐

This was such an inspiring experience. Thank you=3 You are an incredible artist and amazing person!

Thank you for this lovely video! It’s always so calming to Watch your video’s! Have a Nice Day.

I loved the meditation practice🥹💕 and my favorite illustration was those gnomes!! No lies, ALL OF THEM👌🏻💛💛

You are the best. Loved the ending meditation.

Wow thank you for sharing your day. I am really impressed by your skills. 3 amzing paintings in 4 hours. Thats great!

Omggg I was literally just thinking abt how I want u to do a long vlog video!!!! Yaaayyyyyy!!!!! Thanks Jess!

Love it all! Thank you for a wonderful video, music, art and inspiration. I'm always so amazed that someone can just come up with ideas to draw and paint. I was reminded recently that the only reason I don't come up with ideas is because I've closed the door to the universe. I don't have to have an idea I just need to act on the ones that come to me. Need to open up, become more aware and listen to the whispered suggestion of the universe. The sillier the better.

You are a super creative, positive, joyous artist whom I admire!😊 Congratulations!🎉 Loved all your pieces 👌 Thank you for the meditation ✨️

Happy thanksgiving keep showing us your beautiful art. I’m 77 year old how follows you and I would thank you for teaching me new tricks.have a great day.

My goodness! You are so talented!!

Jess, another great video ❤ Im truly grateful for finding you on RU-vid. 🌸 You are doing great. I really wish I could attend your lightbox demo, but im on a different continent. If possible, do a vlog of your experience there. Would love to see people getting mesmerized by your talent in person (I mean those in attendance). Best wishes!👍 and much love ❤️

Your videos are like a nice warm hug. I love the meditation / affirmations section of this one. Is there any chance that you'll release that section as its own separate video?

The best way to end an weekend, a video from jess 💛

Great video as always Jess. Fall is my favorite season of the year, sadly Fall refuses to come to middle Europe this year. It's still late summer weather with most of the trees still being green.

Aw, that moment when you spoke to Matilda and she spoke back to you was beautiful. Especially when she then kept wanting pats instead of you talking. 😻
