Intro on latest vlog
“hi I’m Catherine, full time business owner of character shop Katnipp.com”
Character shop?
I‘d suggest it should be “Hi I’m Catherine, full time holiday taker, part time stealer of other people’s illustrations which I then copy, badly”

Where is the money coming from for all of these trips? Or is it possible they are gifted to her?

If you think it's a mystery how Catherine can afford these trips, head over to the Victoria in Detail thread... at least Catherine has some discernible form of income! 😂

Is this all they do?…go to Disney for the umpteenth time, take selfies of them eating something whilst she buys yet ANOTHER pair of Mickey ears 🙄…🥱
Imagine going all that way just to stand in a snack shop and take photos of your weird plushie lol. Also Tokyo Disneyland is not pinky pastel everywhere you look either. She needs to stop with the filter overlay.

Does she realise faces are menat to have definition, and noses etc. Not just one smooth pink circle with eyes

In my eyes she’s not even an illustrator anymore. She spends so much time posting videos and not actually doing any consistent art work. She’s sold her soul and become an “influencer” all ME ME ME now

I don't think she ever has been tbh. She massively appropriates Japanese culture and copies others work and just changes it enough to appear original. The drawings and designs are pretty basic, you don't need to be a professional illustrator for that.

YES. I really liked her authenticity back in the day, too.

I had to stop watching her because the way she runs her business is too frustrating to witness. Always surprised about seasonal releases (spring, Halloween, and Christmas happen at the same time. every year. Why are we surprised AND behind every. single. year?), always has typos on products and packaging, is constantly inconsistent with standardizing her characters' looks (Bumholebutt's wings are sometimes fully outlined, sometimes not, once she forgot his wings altogether and it went to print on a full order of mousemats (I think it was)). The amount of waste she creates as well. Like the beanies and jumpers they couldn't move. But also in moving offices and the furniture in and out, buying trinkets and toys "for the office", creating entire cafe facades. Remember when she put her name in the hat to open an actual, real life cafe? Can you imagine her business acumen running an actual functional coffee shop? "Dean says we've run out of coffee beans, I didn't know we'd have such a rush in the morning! Let's pop round to the charity shops and look for new mugs, shall we?"

Also, I just have to say, I have always thought the logo for Katnipp was a fish. It took me years to realize it's just her head/hair, not fins.

Had to look up her logo again because of this, it does look like a fish!

BUT WTF AT WHAT CAME UP!
She has an entire collection on herself?!!

Did she send this Valentine’s Day card to herself as she loves herself a bit much?
The bad grammar! It took me 3 times to understand it.
