When I first saw Ellie Smiths’ drawings on Instagram, it made me want to pick up a pen to draw something myself \u2013 her work is such an art appetizer! About two years ago, Ellie set up her side hustle business as an illustrator taking commissions on house portraits and other drawings. She also sells her prints online and on markets. Her style is quite exceptional \u2013 mostly fine liner, slightly wonky lines, and angles, mainly featuring objects, nature, houses, pubs, football stadiums, \u2026. For this Blog-Interview, I met Ellie in \u201cThe Bow Bells\u201d pub in East London. She shows me her sketchbooks and I cannot believe they really are sketchbooks as they are so neat and beautiful and without a single crease or gone wrong drawing. She assures me though that this is how she sketches.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

You started sharing and offering your work on Instagram right after the first Lockdown \u2013 was the free time the reason to start? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Actually, I had already handed in my notice at my old job as an art teacher end of February 2020 before we knew anything about the pandemic. Part of that was to do more drawing. And then the pandemic hit, and I used the time wisely and drew and drew and drew \u2013 I can`t believe it`s only 2 years since I`ve really been pushing it. Since I`ve got my new job, I just carried on and made sure I dedicate enough time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Interesting! I sometimes hear from professional creatives that they kind of slipped into their career by chance. However, you seemed to have deliberately worked and pushed towards where you are now as an artist, and you have purposefully taken all these steps - including leaving your old job - for this to become a reality \u2026<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes! Hardly I look back, and I don`t regret having had a job that was as stressful as it was, but I feel like I couldn`t have gone much longer and I couldn`t have not done my artwork. I thought about what it would be like if I got to the end of my life, and I looked back and I didn`t do anything with my art. And I love my work and people tell me that they love it, too. So, it would have been such a waste and I just had to do it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

This is great - you really trusted your art then? Were you not afraid of the risk involved in quitting a safe employment?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Well, I think I was just really keen to get out of my job. And I knew that there is the opportunity to do supply teaching if needed to get by. But I really wanted to see what happens. It does feel a bit crazy now.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I`m glad I did it and at the time I felt like I don`t have much choice \u2013 like when you`re just so on the edge of something that you have to just jump. You don`t do that if you feel secure because it would feel like so much to give up. I still think I`ve ended up in the safe option though after all because I took a full-time job again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I didn`t want to go full time again, but this school I`m now working for, looked for someone to come in full-time. This new job allows me much more time than my old one though, and I can juggle my time much better.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the downsides of turning your hobby into your profession is that it can start to feel more like an obligation at times, and not just something you enjoy doing... <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

That can be a juggling act. I want to draw and sketch more new things, but then my graphic design head goes on \u2013 I`ve worked as a graphic designer doing greeting cards before – and thinks: What`s actually a commercial-looking print? What`s gonna sell? That`s why it`s really great to do house portraits. Because I love drawing houses and architecture and the commissions are often gorgeous Victorian cottages and I get to draw afresh \u2013 I get to do what I love AND do something new. Also, I love drawing moments \u2013 like this lifestyle scene of the mayonnaise and the chips on this table\u2026or recently I`ve seen a scene of all the washing up stuck by the sink on the last page of a cookbook \u2013 such an evocative scene, just one of these moments\u2026 – and I think that`s what I want to draw more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My tutor at uni sent me off to the countryside around Leeds to draw so that I would find my signature style. \u00a0I went to draw sheep and leaves and stuff, and he said: \u201cRight, that`s it \u2013 whatever it felt like to draw that, is what you need to feel when you draw.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In one of your very early Instagram posts right after the start of the lockdown, you write something like \u201cI`ve done terribly at drawing \u2026.\u201d \u2013 only that your drawings didn`t look terrible at all. Is that a sign of the infamous imposter syndrome? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What I might have meant is that I`ve beaten myself up over not having been drawing enough because my old job just took over my life and I`ve gotten out of practice. I have always loved my own work and I always enjoyed doing it. But I think I`ve not always believed that it could go anywhere \u2013 and it is such a privilege that people want my work. That has definitely grown my confidence because there is enough evidence that people like my work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The things that get me down now and then, are how much work it is to post on Instagram or to do the artworks. I do markets and if they don`t go well, that`s my Saturday, my day off, taken up not selling stuff. There are slow months and that`s sometimes frustrating. If I was full-time, I would have more time for sharing and promoting. But then I remind myself that I chose this balance for me to have a salary that`s secure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your prices for your prints are very affordable \u2013 I mean you can sell art for 10 pounds, but also for 1000 pounds or more\u2026<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you charge a really high price it`s great if you sell one piece of artwork. But I enjoy selling. I enjoy the feeling. So, I don`t want to put my prices up high. My commissioned work does cost more though because I feel this is taking me quite a bit of time and it takes quite some expertise \u2013 so I`m happy with the price of that.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How long roughly does it take you to do one house portrait?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I`m not exactly sure in hours as I do it in bits after work, but I can turn around a house portrait in a two-week period and that includes taking it to the printer and getting it back. But that`s given that it`s not too complicated and that I`ve got no other commissioned work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ideally, the house owners send me a photo of their house. My pens vary in thickness and I`ve got two that are my favourites. What I use has come from experimenting and also observing how other people work and then trying it myself to see if it`s my kind of thing or not. I scan or photograph the drawing and in Photoshop I separate the black line on a white background. If it`s going to have colour each one has a layer so that I can edit or delete them separately. It can become a bit complex at times.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It`s not a daily discipline but I do draw a couple of times a week at least. And I try to get in the habit of having a sketch book in my bag for when I`m sitting in a pub or waiting for someone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you`ve got a product that you want to launch on a certain date, then you build up to it. But don`t build up meaning \u201csell, sell, sell\u201d, but instead tell stories about your life, about your work process \u2013 people love this kind of back story. And then when you come to selling, they trust you. I`m the same: I love following artists because I love to see what they`re up to and then when I want something, I think `Oh they`re good I`ll buy from them! ` Also: trying to stick to one thing at a time. Right now, I have a sale and I was going to post something else on my Instagram, but I thought: `No, stick to one theme, make people follow that link to my page, and don`t bamboozle them with too much.’<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Als ich Ellie Smiths\u2019 Zeichnungen auf Instagram entdeckt habe, hatte ich Lust, selbst einen Stift in die Hand zu nehmen und loszuzeichnen \u2013 ihre Arbeit macht so Appetit auf Zeichnen! Vor ungef\u00e4hr zwei Jahren hat Ellie ihr Side Hustle Business als Illustratorin gestartet und fertigt seitdem unter anderem Haus-Protraits auf Kundenauftrag an. Au\u00dferdem bietet sie Prints online und auf Kunstm\u00e4rkten an. Ihr Stil ist ziemlich au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlich \u2013 vor allem Fine Liner, leicht ungerade Linien und schiefe Winkel, Lieblingsmotive sind Haushaltsgegenst\u00e4nde, Natur, H\u00e4user, Pubs, Fu\u00dfballstadien,\u2026<\/p>

F\u00fcr dieses Blog-Interview treffe ich Ellie im \u201cThe Bow Bells\u201d Pub in East London. Sie zeigt mir ihre \u00a0Skizzenb\u00fccher und ich kann kaum fassen, dass das Skizzenb\u00fccher sein sollen, den sie sind so ordentlich und h\u00fcbsch und ohne ein einziges Eselsohr oder missratene Zeichnung. Sie versichert mir aber, dass sie so ihre Skizzen macht.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tats\u00e4chlich habe ich meine K\u00fcndigung f\u00fcr meinen alten Job als Kustlehrerin bereits Ende Februar 2020 eingereicht, als noch niemand etwas von der Pandemie geahnt hat. Ein Grund f\u00fcr meine K\u00fcndigung war mehr Zeit zum Zeichnen zu haben. Und dann kam die Pandemie und ich habe die Zeit gut genutzt, habe gemalt, gemalt, gemalt \u2013 ich kann kaum glauben, dass das erst zwei Jahre her ist, seitdem ich meine Kunst so richtig pushe. Seit ich meinen neuen Job habe, habe ich das beibehalten und sichergestellt, dass ich gen\u00fcgend Zeit daf\u00fcr freimache.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Das ist gro\u00dfartig \u2013 das hei\u00dft, du hast deiner Kunst wirklich vertraut? Hattest du keine Angst vor dem Risiko eine sichere Arbeitsstelle aufzugeben?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Also, ich denke ich wollte unbedingt aus meinem Job raus. Und ich wusste, dass ich zur Not immer noch als Vertretungskraft arbeiten kann, um \u00fcber die Runden zu kommen. Aber ich wollte wirklich sehen was passiert. Es h\u00f6rt sich im Nachhinein ein bisschen verr\u00fcckt an.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Was w\u00fcrdest du dir r\u00fcckblickend raten? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ich bin froh, dass ich`s gemacht habe und in dem Moment hat es sich so angef\u00fchlt, als h\u00e4tte ich eine gro\u00dfe Wahl \u2013 wie wenn du so an den Abrgrund gedr\u00e4ngt wirst, dass du springen musst. Du machst das nicht, wenn du dich sicher f\u00fchlst, dann w\u00fcrde zu viel auf dem Spiel stehen. Ich denke aber, ich bin immer noch in der Sicherheitszone gelandet, da ich ja dann doch wieder einen Vollzeit-Job angenommen habe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ich wollte eigentlich nicht wieder in Vollzeit arbeiten, aber diese Schule, f\u00fcr die ich jetzt arbeite, wollte eine Vollzeitkraft. In meinem neuen Job habe ich aber viel mehr Zeit als in meinem Alten und ich kann meine Zeit besser einteilen. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hoffst du, eines Tages deinen Job als Lehrerin ganz aufgeben zu k\u00f6nnen um ausschlie\u00dflich deine Kunst zu machen? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ich wei\u00df es nicht. Ich denke, ich habe das gehofft, und vielleicht werde ich eines Tages nur noch in Teilzeit arbeiten. Aber das ist im Moment nicht mein Plan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Einer der Nachteile sein Hobby zum Beruf zu machen, ist, dass es sich manchmal wie eine Pflicht anf\u00fchlt - und nicht mehr wie etwas, das man gern macht\u2026 <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Das kann ein Balanceakt sein. Ich will mehr neue Dinge zeichnen und malen, aber dann schaltet sich mein Grafikdesign-Gehirn ein – ich habe fr\u00fcher als Grafikdesignerin f\u00fcr Gru\u00dfkarten gearbeitet \u2013 und denkt: Wie w\u00fcrde ein kommerzieller Print aussehen? Was wird sich gut verkaufen? Deswegen sind Haus-Portraits super. Denn ich liebe es, H\u00e4user zu malen und Architektur. Die Auftr\u00e4ge sind oft traumhaft sch\u00f6ne Viktorianische Landh\u00e4user und ich kann wieder mit einer neuen Zeichnung anfangen \u2013 ich kann etwas, das ich mag UND etwas Neues malen. Au\u00dferdem liebe ich es, Momente zu zeichnen \u2013 sowas wie diese Lifestyle Szene von der Mayo und den Pommes hier auf dem Tisch\u2026 Oder neulich habe ich auf der letzten Seite eines Kochbuchs eine Szene von der Sp\u00fcle gesehen, auf der sich der Abwasch get\u00fcrmt hat \u2013 so eine sinntr\u00e4chtige Szene, eben einer dieser Momente, \u2026\u00a0 – und ich denke, das ist das, wovon ich mehr malen m\u00f6chte.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mein Tutor an der Uni hat mich in die Landschaft rund um Leeds geschickt, um zu malen und meinen Stil zu finden. Ich ging also los, habe Schafe gezeichnet, Bl\u00e4tter und solche Dinge. Und er sagte: \u201cGenau, das ist es \u2013 so wie es sich angef\u00fchlt hat, das zu malen, so sollte es sich immer anf\u00fchlen, wenn du malst.\u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In einem sehr alten Instagram Post gleich nach Beginn des Lockdowns schreibst du sowas wie \u201cIch war in letzter Zeit nicht gut darin, zu zeichnen\u2026\u201d \u2013 nur, dass deine Zeichnungen sehr gut ausgesehen haben. Sind das Anzichen des ber\u00fcchtigten Imposter Syndroms, also Zweifel an deinem K\u00f6nnen? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Kann sein, dass ich damit gemeint habe, dass ich \u00e4rgerlich dar\u00fcber war, dass ich nicht gen\u00fcgend gezeichnet habe, weil mein alter Job mein Leben \u00fcbernommen hat und ich daher au\u00dfer \u00dcbung gekommen bin. Ich habe meine Zeichnungen immer geliebt und ich habe es immer geliebt, zu zeichnen. Aber ich denke, ich habe nicht immer daran geglaubt, dass ich es damit zu etwas bringen kann \u2013 und daher ist es f\u00fcr mich so ein gro\u00dfes Privileg, dass Leute meine Kunst m\u00f6chten. Das hat mein Selbstvertrauen auf jeden Fall gest\u00e4rkt, denn es gibt gen\u00fcgend Hinweise darauf, dass Leute meine Arbeit m\u00f6gen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sch\u00f6n! Stehst du im Moment \u00fcberhaupt noch vor irgendwelchen Herausforderungen?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Was mich ab und zu runterzieht, ist, wie viel Arbeit es ist, auf Instagram zu posten und die Kunstdrucke fertigzustellen. Ich nehme auch an M\u00e4rkten teil und wenn die nicht gut laufen, dann ist mein Samstag, mein freier Tag, f\u00fcr nichts draufgegangen. Es gibt einfach weniger gute Monate und das ist manchmal frustrierend. Wenn ich all meine Kunst hauptberuflich machen w\u00fcrde, dann h\u00e4tte ich mehr Zeit, meine Arbeit zu promoten. Aber dann erinnere ich mich selbst wieder daran, dass ich diese Balance f\u00fcr mich bewusst gew\u00e4hlt habe, um ein sicheres Einkommen zu haben. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Die Preise f\u00fcr deine Prints sind sehr erschwinglich \u2013 ich meine, man kann Kunst f\u00fcr 10 Pfund verkaufen, aber eben auch f\u00fcr 1000 oder mehr\u2026. <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Wenn man einen sehr hohen Verkaufspreis festsetzt, dann ist es schon toll, wenn man ein Kunstwerk verkauft. Aber ich mag gerne verkaufen, ich genie\u00dfe das Gef\u00fchl. Daher will ich meine Preise nicht hoch setzen. Meine Auftragsarbeiten kosten allerdings mehr, weil sie doch einiges an Zeit brauchen und au\u00dferdem Expertise \u2013 daher finde ich den Preis angemessen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Wie lange brauchst du ungef\u00e4hr f\u00fcr ein Haus-Portrait? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ich bin nicht so ganz sicher, was die Stundenzahl angeht, denn ich arbeite gest\u00fcckelt nach der Arbeit, aber ich kann ein Haus-Portrait innerhalb von zwei Wochen fertigstellen \u2013 und das beinhaltet die Zeit, in der es beim Drucken ist. Aber das gilt, wenn es nicht zu kompliziert ist und ich gerade nicht noch an anderen Auftr\u00e4ge arbeite.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Idealerweise schicken mir die Hausbesitzer ein Foto ihres Hauses. Meine Stifte variieren je nach Dicke und ich habe zwei Lieblingsstifte. Was ich f\u00fcr die Bilder benutze hat sich durch viel Experimentieren ergeben und ich beobachte auch, wie andere K\u00fcnstler arbeiten und probiere aus, ob davon was mein Ding sein k\u00f6nnte. Ich scanne oder fotografiere die Zeichnung ab und in Photoshop separiere ich die schwarze Linie vom wei\u00dfen Hintergrund. Wenn es Farbe haben soll, bekommt jede Farbe eine eigene Ebene, damit ich sie jeweils getrennt bearbeiten oder l\u00f6schen kann. Manchmal kann es ganz sch\u00f6n komplex werden.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Nicht zwingend t\u00e4glich aber auf zumindest mehrmals die Woche. Und ich versuche mir anzugew\u00f6hnen, ein Skizzenbuch in meiner Tasche zu haben – f\u00fcr wenn ich mal im Pub bin, oder auf jemanden warte. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Wenn du ein Produkt hast, dass du an einem bestimmten Datum auf den Markt bringen m\u00f6chtest, dann bereite dein Publikum darauf vor \u2013 aber es sollte erstmal nicht nur ums Verkaufen gehen. Sondern erz\u00e4hl stattdessen Geschichten aus deinem Leben, aus deinem Arbeitsalltag \u2013 Leute lieben diese Hintergrundgeschichten. Und wenn es dann tats\u00e4chlich ums Verkaufen geht, vertrauen sie dir. Ich selbst bin genauso: Ich liebe es, K\u00fcnstlern auf Instagram zu folgen, weil ich gerne verfolge, was sie gerade machen und wenn ich mal etwas haben m\u00f6chte, dann denke ich \u201aAh, DIE sind gut, von denen kaufe ich.\u201c \u00a0Au\u00dferdem versuche ich, an einer Sache dranzubleiben: Gerade habe ich einen Sale und ich wollte kurz was anderes auf Instagram posten, aber dann dachte ich: \u201aNein, bleib bei einem Thema, schicke die Leute auf den Link zum Sale und verwirre sie nicht mit zu vielen Verschiedenen Themen.\u2018<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
