Monique Aimee is a multidisciplinary artist based out of Boston. Her work ranges from digital illustrations to hand-painted murals to chain-stitch patches — all with themes of empowerment and self-care. She studied illustration in Boston and typography in Melbourne. On this episode of Paid 2 Draw, she explains how she went from being a sign maker in a basement for Whole Foods to becoming a super-successful freelance illustrator, working for clients like Disney, Netflix, Snapchat, Coca-Cola, Patagonia and Chronicle Books.
Monique shares her journey from Massachusetts to Australia and Japan, and now back to Boston. She talks to Vicky and Dave about the importance of saying ‘no’ and how she made six figures as a freelancer. The three illustrators discuss everything from chain-stitching to community work and superior toilets. Monique also describes how she found a way to improve her time-management skills. She gives valuable tips on how she finds time for self-care in between client work, teaching herself animation and sharing her process, knowledge and experiences on TikTok. After all, she’s just a human. And she googles stuff, too.
