Okay, so a week or two ago I teased on social media that I had some big things to talk about, and I wasn’t fibbing! Y’all ready for this? XD
A website overhaul is in the works, I’m especially looking to streamline the gallery so it’s easier to navigate the sections.
Patreon posts are incoming. January was rough around the homestead, but I’m getting back to working on my high fantasy zodiac set—Capricorn is sketched up, and I am working on Aquarius. Looking to have them both posted for Patrons imminently.
I’ve added new sketch card art to the gallery from the Dejah Thoris set recently released by 5finity.
I am participating in Pintopia 2 on BackerKit at the end of March and working up some wonderful spoopy pin designs, click here if you’d like to see the updates!
Submissions are open for the first digital zine for MCC Zines; I hope to be able to do these a bit more frequently since they’ll be free, digital, and submissions-only based. Please check it out if you’d like to contribute: https://forms.gle/fcR8BkrrjvHzMqHq8
Also in zine news, Re-Spun Thread books are on the way, so backers and contributors will receive their copies first, and if I have any leftover, I plan to put them in the shop.
Speaking of the shop, I have quite a large backstock of cat enamel pins and enamel pins in general. Since I’m making a move to more sustainable/recycled material options for pins, and reducing inventory, I’ve decided to let the backstock go. All my enamel pins will be marked down in the shop, and I will start adding them to the large mystery bags beginning March 1st!
I am also working on booking my events for the year, and again I’m just planning to do local shows. I’ve signed up for Ithacon at the end of April, and plan to attend T2C2. While I miss tabling and sharing my work with folks in person, keeping it light on the con schedule gives me more family time while the young one is still in the baby stage, and allows me the time to concentrate on generating art and projects.
The last, but probably largest announcement is: A Plus B is getting a 10th Anniversary edition!!!
I know, I’m as shocked as you are. How can my first published work be TEN years old already?!
I realized this last year but decided to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of its Amazon publication (April 2014), and I’ve asked Power-J to return to draw up an exclusive 10th anniversary cover. I also plan to update the back of the book with some 10th anniversary edition goodies AND there will be a free sticker to anyone who preorders a copy. I’ll be sending out a newsletter blast next month with the preorder link, and probably annoying everyone on social media– I am so excited, I can’t wait for you guys to see it!
