You all know how much I love and appreciate every single ounce of support I get from you, no matter the design I make, if it’s a shirt or a pin or a decal or a shadowbox.

But there certainly is a whole set of separate emotional feels when I get to pack up a print in a sea of shirts and pins to get sent to a new home. Having a very feels filled kinda day, and packing up this beautiful baby pushed me over the top.

I’m not crying, you are.

A lil peep

Still rough, but I wanted to test out colors before I went too much further.

“Good enough” vs “How it should be.”

It’s the little things that matter to me, and my printer banding matters. It’s subtle, but to me, it’s a glaring issue. It sucks when I have to waste a sheet of cardstock, but it matters to me. ESPECIALLY with the things I produce myself, I always want to try my best to give you professional quality things. In this case, bookmarks.

Doing some light labor restock.

Got a couple of these little babs cut and holo coated as a lil “thank you” freebie for all of you AMAZING people who have shopped with me in the last two days. Y'all are nuts. I knew some of you were waiting for me, but boy howdy, did you all surprise the DICKENS outta me when my phone wouldn’t stop dinging.

I am beyond grateful that they are all quick pack orders too. I told my husband about them all and he was like “you don’t have to like. MAKE any of those, right?” (He’s been a lil worried with how vocal and expressive I’ve been with the pre-pre-labor contractions, and just wants to make sure I’m not overloading myself). So even he was impressed, and we BOTH are so stinkin’ appreciative of the support.

As a note, these are NOT the final design/use I was talking about when I said “some holographic elements.” These are just little home printed freebies. The final product is actually in production and should be here soon! They’ll not only be MUCH bigger babies (about 4" wide) but also the holo won’t be ALL over, it will be a mix of opaque ink and spots of holo.

Well, here we are, Lunar Loves.

It’s now August, and I’ve finally managed to comit to my first fully rendered finished piece. I feel … mildly acomplished. A little sad that it’s taken so long, but glad to say that I at least finished one WIP in 2020, and can attempt to finish the long list of others, including the Justice poster and the BTS pin for the #blacklivesmatter campaign, Mami (good lord, Mami has been on the backburner for so long), and my Utena illustration.

The intent is still to turn this into a sticker with holographic elements, and I do have some other fun things planned for it as well. It was a little strange working on something so. Colorful, lol. And also intentionally deciding to leave some things flat/minimally rendered. My husband immediately said “well, this is a little out of your normal color scheme” when he first saw it.

So! Now that this beauty is finished, I’m gonna keep pushing forward. I have a grand total of TWO orders to finish up, one which the Utena edits were for, one that I have to press some shirts for, and then I’ll be opening the shop back up with some MAJOR changes, keeping in mind that I’m gonna be giving birth in 7 weeks. Lol. So some things WILL be missing from the usual lineup when the shop updates, simply because I can’t commit right now (and the belly is getting in the way) to the labor of the apparel and some of the more intensive pieces of merchandise. Once I regain not only the (currently) 10" of personal space, but also get the balance of a newborn, a toddler, and family life under control, I’ll open everything back up as it was, pre-hiatus.

So. Thank you all. For being so patient, for continuing to be there. For being with me while I handled my own crisis. I know I keep saying it’s appreciated like a broken record, but it’s true.

Le sigh. Y'all, I’m really not even mad, but it has finally come time to address this issue.

As a reminder, the only place to get LEGITIMATE, quality controlled, personally inspected and approved pins by me are through my Etsy or from my booth at conventions. I will occasionally and RARELY sell them through private PayPal transactions as well, and the only way to do that is to message me on IG or Facebook.

Please do not buy my pins off of Aliexpress, eBay, or any other site. They have NOT been vetted by me, and you likely will receive a hunk of garbage instead of the pin you’re expecting.

Like, they even took my image off of Etsy, brightened it, and blurred out my watermark.

Just when you think you have your pins organized in a way you like, and then this beautiful behemoth arrives from Mandy and Taka. She’s an absolute gorgeous addition to the collection!

I think I got all the makers tagged??? I hope I did.

(Pardon my mucked up wall, need to patch and repaint. Lol)

Sinners

New variant for Black Lady and a new villain (hopefully) coming soon.
