🎨 Last Month's Recap:

Last month saw the launch of my art book's "Kickstarter" which went better than I could've ever imagined! There's still a few months left of pre-orders being open and a few more rounds of The Gooey Awards votes to look forward to!

If you’re somehow still in the dark about it, check out Gooeycandy.com/TheGooeyAwards to learn more!

Click here if you have yet to vote in rounds 1 & 2 of The Gooey Awards! 🏆

As of right now we're sitting at almost 200 pre-orders! Holy shit! Look forward to a new thank you piece soon if we reach 200!

I also launched a set of Valentine's cards for those interested, as well as mini stickers in my shop!

👀 Teasers:

The Incineroar piece is coming along well! So more on that soon!

And the first of the 2 commissions I took at the end of last year is also getting worked on! Thanks for your patience!

🔮 What's Coming Up:

ONGOING: Hands On! will continue progress as well as work on the "Best Of Gooeycandy Art Book!"

CURRENT FOCUS: Completing the poll winning Incineroar piece & commissions!

AFTER THAT: I'll begin work on the poll-winning "Date Everything" Piece!

✅ Ongoing Poll:

"Date Everything" won the ensemble poll, so now you can vote to decide which characters from the game make it into this grand ensemble piece! Vote here! This poll will be closing once the Incineroar piece is completed!

💬 Suggestion Box:

There is no current suggestion box!

💘 Boy Talk:

Here you can suggest ideas, pairings, scenarios, settings, alts or anything for upcoming pieces!

The next piece I'm starting will be the Date Everything piece! I'm all ears!

💬 About The Artist!

This section focuses on my personal life & stories, so if that's not your cup of tea, feel free to skip this segment!

Alright! It's been a little bit since I've talked about myself on here! First of all, the start of this year has been amazing. The art book has already done so so much better than I could've ever dreamed, my new Kickball team is kicking ass, my love life has been going wonderfully, I really can't complain about anything (other than some dumb mental health stuff, but I'm always dealing with that lol).

So I just want to say, I really think this is the year. I have been supremely motivated and just have a lot of hope right now, even with everything going on in the world... I just cosmically feel like things are starting to look up! A good mindset could change a whole day, so let's tackle those things we've been avoiding on our to-do lists and set ourselves up for the best year of our life, alright?

ALSO (lol) watch drag race this season and root for Myki Meeks. She's an acquaintance of mine and my personal favorite drag queen and just a really kind and down to earth person AND a gamer! And as a big reality TV fan, it's just been so fun and strange seeing her on TV and absolutely killing it!

That's all for now, more updates on the book and HANDS ON WILL CONTINUE WORK SOON I swear I'm still getting my bearings after the book's success but this year is all about completing these big projects that have been on the back burner!!
