Hello earthlings, fear not, LittleLion is still here and still pumping, so don’t write us off just yet! ;-) The short absence is justifiable, read through if you will.

As most of you know by now, LittleLion Studio started as a hobby and as such, without rules, guidelines, best-practices and methods. Almost 3 years and 2,000 images later, things tend to get a little confusing to say the least. Multiple sales channels with different technical requirements and audience profiles don’t really help matters either. What am I to do? Organize!

Documenting best-practices, creating meta-data schemas, verifying technical consistency across files, developing a database to manage all artwork data and their statuses on all sales channels, creating analytical   spreadsheets  to  learn

about and properly direct the business… altogether this is no small feat and as I’m sure you know, extremely time consuming.

These are the tasks I have been spending most of my time on lately and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, thus forcing a slower pace in other fronts such as content creation and posts.

But procedural work is not all. With organization comes business intelligence and with it, strategic decisions leading to innovations… I wish I could tell you to hold your breath but good things take time and I don’t want you to asphyxiate. All I’ll say is that patience is a rewarding virtue. :-)

Nevertheless, visibility is essential in microstock so meanwhile…

Designing floral patterns for a baby collection is a highly subjective thing to do. Do flowers and floral arrangements really have an applicable,  predetermined age range

from a commercial standpoint? I would guess the answer is no, but a "no" which goes both ways: one can easily apply a supposedly "baby" floral in any other imaginable floral project just as any brand could potentially manufacture diaper shirts using any "adult" floral out there. Still, I believe there is a fine and subtle difference between the two and that is exactly what I tried to portray in "Breezy Meadow". Now you will be the judge. [click images to enlarge]
