August Reward Timeline:

9/9: August rewards go out for Bunny, puppy and moo tier.

9/10: Dragon Tier August YCH's completed and sent to print.

9/20: August for Dragon Tier are shipped out.

Hey friends!

So, as expected, this last month was insane and I'm incredibly spent. We essentially did weekend to weekend cons for 3 weeks. I am home as of 24 hours ago.

Shipping Patreon from a hotel was way harder than Anticipated, ubering back and forth to post offices and such. Hence, only July was sent out. August Rewards will be going out today and tomorrow, and later for Dragon Tier. if you are missing June rewards or previous, please email me. We have less than 20 of each month left. I paused September rewards so I could catch up and not feel as crazy stressed. I'm sorry to have disappointed anyone with that.

Flea bag Preorder!!!

I drew these on a plane and I think they will be so fun. I'll have the prototypes done probably in the next day or so. HERE'S THE THING. I can do short sleeve in-house, but long sleeve would take 6 weeks to get custom sewn. Ideally the short sleeve pack will be $85, and long sleeve will be $100. And you get all the goodies as well as a few clothespin fleas. I'm very excited! I will put out a patreon post once they're ready to launch on the site. Also maybe a YT video about the whole situation, since people are going crazy about it on twitter.

New Badges!!!!

So, as usual, I'm insane. While I was away for 3 weeks I challenged myself to draw a bunch of new badge designs now that I have a FUNCTIONAL PRINTER. I feel like I can do anything.

I have 27 badge designs currently, and wanted to revamp some, and add at least 12 more; I drew 18.... I haven't made new badges in literally months. My focus was identities, some nsfw, and some inclusivity ones. Open to suggestions! I'm hesitant to do sexuality and pronoun ones solely because booth space is limited and that is a very big endeavor, but I will do them eventually.

Skippable Yapping:

After 3 conventions, I'm honestly its is a bit sad to come home and make as much profit as if I had just done a few commissions here at home for a fraction of the stress. but thats the convention life, lol. But I can't complain too much. In the few hours I've been home I scheduled vet appointments for all my animals, fridge repairs, and things I just couldn't afford prior. Artists don't really make much more than the average person, we just get it in lump sums, which for people who can't manage money, can be a bad idea. You have tl make sure your profit can last until the next convention, assuming you get in.

Thankully, I don't have to stress because I have this sticker club. Pausing September payments is a huge blow to my income, but the stress of disappointing people bc I'm so late was getting too me really bad. But going to these conventions really reminded me that the fandom is so inclusive that even someone as type B as me can have a place here. and I'm a mess, honestly But I work hard to get better every day.

We also have 2 pupsuits 90% ready to sell, but I'm too tired to even address that right now, lol. I'll post them when they're ready, if anyone's interested you're welcome to dm for pics. Wish me luck!
