The visual artist revealed that her artistic process is driven, in part, by fan requests and personal passions. But she also accepts commissions from music labels and fellow artists.

“It’s kind of a mix of doing albums that I’m really into at the moment, albums that are popularly requested by my followers, and albums that are requested by the music labels and artists that I work with. But 100 percent of the album receipts that I make are ones that I personally love, and I also jam out to them while working on the receipt,” she said.

Now that she’s built a loyal following on social media, You said maintaining her platform has become a bit of a full-time gig. She said she aims to create as many receipt projects as possible in a timely manner.

“I just felt like now that I had this platform on Instagram, I needed to create as many receipts as possible and fulfill as many album requests as I got when I had the chance,” she said. “It got to the point where I was on Photoshop and Illustrator like six to eight hours a day, and it quickly turned into a full-time job.”

In the future, Melody You is considering selling @albumreceipts merchandise, posters and apparel. She recently purchased a receipt printer and is excited to drop a new batch of art for her supporters.

“I am absolutely thinking of selling Album Receipts merch, posters and framed receipts in the near future. I’m an avid wearer of hoodies and crewnecks, so I’m working on developing those at the moment and I cannot wait to share them with my followers. I actually just recently purchased a receipt printer — I’m playing around with that idea and I’m so stoked,” she said
