You Don't Have a Talent Problem. You Have a Systems Problem.
Your art is incredible. Your clients love your work.
But you're spending more time managing your business than creating art.
Scrolling back through months of Instagram DMs to find that one reference photo.
Updating the same client information in your spreadsheet, your notebook, AND your email.
Wondering if you forgot to respond to someone. Hoping nothing falls through the cracks.
This isn't a you problem. It's a tools problem.
The tools you're using weren't built for commission artists. They were built for corporate offices, project managers, and sales teams.
So you've cobbled together a Franken-stack of Excel + Instagram + email + notebooks + Google Drive + PayPal notes, and you're just... holding it all together with duct tape and hope.
The Real Cost:
You're not taking on more commissions—not because you don't have the talent or demand, but because your systems can't handle it.
- At 5 commissions, it's manageable.
- At 10, you're stressed.
- At 20, you're overwhelmed.
- At 30? Impossible.
Your current system caps your income. And that ceiling isn't your skill—it's your spreadsheet.
Imagine Managing 30 Commissions As Easily As You Currently Manage 10
- ✔
What if every client inquiry automatically flowed into one beautiful workspace?
- ✔
What if every conversation, reference photo, payment, and project detail lived in one place—not scattered across 8 platforms?
- ✔
What if you could send professional proposals, collect digital signatures, and track payments without leaving your workspace?
- ✔
What if your business ran on autopilot while you focused on creating?
That's what Vesselo does.
Not another tool to add to your stack. The workspace that replaces your stack.
Built specifically for commission artists. Your language. Your workflow. Your aesthetic.
You're Not Alone
We spent months talking to commission artists about how they actually manage their businesses. Here's what they told us:
"Keeping track of conversations. Some are from email, DMs from Instagram, DMs from Facebook and then DMs in TikTok. Many fall through the cracks."
— Patti, Pet Portrait Artist
"Remembering what's been said, reaching back through emails... updating several records of the same thing."
— Natasha, Pet Portrait Artist
"I feel like there could be an easier, more organised way."
— Rachel, Portrait Artist
Now They're Beta Testing Vesselo:
"I love that I can house specific client data, project info and upload photos in one space. It's one comprehensive system."
— Connie, Pet Portrait Artist | Australia
"Organization of projects all in one place with well laid out visuals."
— Sarah, Pencil Portrait Artist | Canada
"I think Vesselo will be a good way to keep me on track."
— Julie, Pet Portrait Artist | Canada

Why This Isn't Just Another CRM
We didn't take a generic business tool and slap "for artists" on it.
We built Vesselo from the ground up for commission artists because we know firsthand what it's like to manage commissions—and how much the right system changes everything.
Built For Your Workflow
Every detail designed for how commission artists actually work—from how you collect reference photos to how you track project stages to how clients see your proposals.
It works the way you think.
It Looks Like You
No corporate gray interfaces. No sterile business software.
Vesselo has a playful Washi Tape aesthetic with coral, cyan, and yellow accents. It looks like a tool an artist would actually want to open.
Because managing your business shouldn't make you feel like a corporate drone.
It Scales With You
Start with 5 commissions. Grow to 50.
Vesselo scales linearly—not exponentially. The chaos doesn't multiply. The system adapts.
Double your commissions without doubling your stress.
Be Part Of Something From The Beginning
Vesselo launches publicly in January 2026. The Founder's List is your chance to be part of it from day one—not as just another user, but as a founding member who helped shape what we built.

A Note From The Founder
Hi, I'm Kay.
I built Vesselo because I lived the chaos you're living right now.
A few years ago, I was managing my commissions across spreadsheets, notebooks, Instagram DMs, and sheer determination. I was good at my craft, but drowning in the business side.
Then I got a CRM. And everything changed.
Suddenly I could see all my projects at once. I stopped losing track of conversations. Clients stopped falling through the cracks. I wasn't anxious about what I was forgetting anymore.
And here's what shocked me: I doubled my commissions.
Not because I got better at my art—because I finally had systems that could handle growth. I could confidently take on more work because I knew nothing would slip through.
But here's the problem I ran into:
The CRM I was using wasn't built for artists. It was built for generic businesses. The language felt corporate. The interface felt sterile. I had to force my creative practice into someone else's business framework.
It worked. But it didn't feel right.
So I built Vesselo.
A workspace built specifically for how commission artists work. Your language. Your workflow. Your aesthetic.
All the power of the system that doubled my commissions, but designed from the ground up for people like us.
We're currently in exclusive beta with 12 commission artists who are helping us perfect every detail. Their feedback has been incredible.
The transformation I experienced—going from chaos to confidence, from capped to scaling—that's what I want for you.
Join the Founder's List and be part of this journey.
This is your chance to be there from the beginning—to help build something that actually works for artists like you, and to experience the same kind of transformation I did.
Your business can be empowering. It can be fun. It can be enjoyable.
Let's build this together.

Don't Let Another Commission Fall Through The Cracks
You're reading this because something resonated.
Maybe it was seeing your own struggle in those beta tester quotes.
Maybe it was realizing your current Franken-stack is the ceiling on your income.
Maybe it was imagining what it would feel like to manage 30 commissions as easily as you currently manage 10.
Here's the truth:
Three months from now, you'll still be scrolling through Instagram DMs looking for reference photos. Still updating the same information across multiple tools. Still anxious about what you're forgetting.
Or you'll be part of the founding group that helped build the workspace commission artists have been waiting for.

- ✅Today: You join the list
- ✅December: Exclusive founder updates as we approach launch
- ✅January 2026: First access to Vesselo with founding member benefits
