Katnipp Illustrations

Correct me if I’m wrong, but kind of found her lastest vlog self-indulgent. She goes on about not having enough time to create (*you’re the one always running of to Japan or Disney) she’s going to be in for a shock if/when she does have a baby = no time then!
Also, don’t most people “find themselves” from travelling?…she mentions feeling lost.
Annoys me when she tries to compare herself alongside Beatrix Potter and Tova Jansson - your work isn’t in the same league Catherine. Think she is actually a bit delusional “world of katnipp” and how much of an impact her characters will have on people.
I feel like she spent 12 mins talking about absolutely nothing.
It seems like she's read comments on here about going away all the time and trying to do the most and taken that on board which in the long run will be good for her and her business, but realistically in terms of the reach of her products it can't really go that far beyond what she's done already because her characters have no WOW factor, they're just very simple. She's made an instagram account for Bumblebutt but I can't imagine that's going to go particularly far either.
It's sad, she was very inspiring in the beginning but her approach to her work (time keeping, attention to detail, inconsistency) is unappealing.

It was a sob-fest to try and flog those dreadful calendars that she was cobbling together out of her manufacturing rejects. I still don’t understand what those things were supposed to be after she explained it like three times. The sheep will buy them though I’m sure.
More focus on her illustrations, less on travel? Was that the message? If so, well done love. Try creating something that a hundred other “illustrators” haven’t done already. I remember way back she was pissed because she found someone flogging copies of her “designs”. First of all, how can they be stealing from her when she stole it from someone else before, secondly does she not get the irony?

For reference… A Katnipp design. Ooh, the creativity.

I’m going to sound awful, but I really don’t like the X shaped a cheeks she loves drawing on her characters.

Am I the only one who feels her drawings have become lazy? Or maybe the rose tinted glasses are finally falling off? I feel her standard could be better 10 years down the line.

What is it with these Vloggers releasing content after said time.... Why are we only getting Christmas Disney Vlogs now? Makes no sense. DID is the same...

As annoying as Adam can be at least he's on it with his content and getting it out at the correct time.
 
No one cares about Christmas anymore, everyone’s looking forward to spring. Even her vlogging is lazy

But again, it's because she has gone on SO many trips that she is behind. If she went on less trips she would have more time to work on time appropriate vlogs.

Maybe 2025 is the year to look at your excessive eating and trips.

What does everyone make of the tulip ‘decor decals’?…is it just me, I always feel like she gets sidetracked from whatever she is supposed to be doing by designing things for her desk. Why does she think everyone wants “the world of katnipp” in their space? Yeah they may like your planner stickers but idk, I just don’t get it.
Also what was with her trying to be philosophical at the start of her vlog and talking about “reconnecting with what you liked as a kid”? Catherine, you’re already doing what you love as a job everyday.
Think like most “influencers” she’s fallen into the trap of nothing ever being enough now, constantly on to the next thing.

She knocked the drawing of the tulips out in double quick time. Nothing she does ever seems to be fully considered, she has an idea and executes it in the hope that it’s going to sell. Also, sticking stuff to walls? Who thinks that’s a good idea at home?
I noticed at the start of the vlog she showed a label that said Catherine Kay in massive letters and “at Katnipp” in tiny letters. Girl thinks her name is bigger than her brand now?

Omg that was my first thought before I read your comment! She looks dead behind the eyes. It looks like one of those weird channel 4 docs.

I've been looking everywhere for a thread on her but didn't expect it in the Rave section! We recently discovered her youtube and have been watching the old travel videos. Can't believe how much food they pack away considering they have both had WLS.

We always laugh about Dean who just grumbles 'yeah' to any question asked. She could literally ask him the most controversial, unhinged question and he would still reply 'yeah'. He has no interest AT ALL.

once we start a new thread, it’ll definitely be out of ‘rave’
The hell is this about? What is ‘too cute’ about generic plushies? She really thinks she’s done something outstanding. Get over yourself.
