When Domonique Brown was little, she and her dad could only buy greeting cards featuring Black people at a single Hallmark store in Upland, California. Across all mediums and materials, her designs primarily feature Black characters and aim to represent the Black experience, she says. Her business, still a side hustle, outearns her 9-to-5 job: She's a full-time graphic designer with a $90,000 annual salary, she says. Brown typically spends two hours per day maintaining customer relations and creating content for DomoINK and, when inspiration strikes, creating new work, she says. At every stop, art has offered her a reprieve from schoolwork, unfulfilling jobs or people who told her to make more "white art," Brown says.

I make $22,000 a month in passive income from online sales through my website, Etsy, Society6, and retailers like Target and Home Goods. The best part is that I spend an average of just two hours a day on DomoINK. On Wednesdays, I typically work on a new art piece and film the entire process to post online.
