FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

studio & shop

What kind of paint do you use?
My go-to brand of gouache is Holbein Acryla.

Where can I find prints of your work?
I have prints of some pieces here in my shop – and am happy to discuss custom prints of pieces you may not see for sale there.

Do you sell your work in any shops?
Yes! I currently sell prints, posters, tote bags, pins, stickers, and coloring books wholesale. Click here to see a list of retailers that currently carry my work; click here if you’re a retailer looking for wholesale info.

Where do you get your eco-friendly shipping supplies from?
The recycled mailers I use are from EcoEnclose. Also worth mentioning: I personally suggest finding any alternative to buying shipping supplies from Uline (you can read a NY Times article about why, here).

Do you sell digital files of your illustrations?
For copyright reasons, I do not offer/sell digital files of my work.

Do you donate products to environmental organizations/fundraisers/auctions?
While I wish I could donate prints & products to every group that gets in touch with me, it's unfortunately not something I'm able to do very often being such a small business.

Do you donate any proceeds from your online shop to environmental organizations?
Yes! In 2021 I began a partnership with One Tree Planted, so every order placed here in my shop plants one tree. I also hold a fundraiser for Pollinator Week every year (in June), where a percentage of sales is donated to the non-profit organization Pollinator Partnership.

Can I post your work on my blog?
In most cases, my answer will be yes - but please send me a quick email (hannahrosengren@gmail.com) with a link to your blog before posting just to confirm. Thanks!

Can I post your work on my social media page?
I used to say yes almost every time I was asked this, but it has unfortunately led to many copyright issues with my work being altered or used to promote businesses/products without my permission. So I would ask that you please refrain from posting my work on social media (and I appreciate your understanding).

Can I print your work in my newsletter/brochure/magazine for free?
I am unable to grant permission to anyone to print my work for free. If you'd like an estimate for a licensing fee to print one of my illustrations, please feel free to email me.

Can I print and distribute one of your illustrations without asking or paying you?
Nope, definitely not. Thanks.

How can I protect the copyright to my work online?
When posting work online, I always suggest two things: 1) never upload files larger than 72-res (use 300-res files only for printing), and 2) keep your full name and/or website legible somewhere on the work you post. If your work is gaining a lot of exposure or is about to be distributed/published, I’d also recommend registering the copyright to the work through the U.S. Copyright office, here.
