hello patrons! Β°Λ–βœ§β—(⁰▿⁰)β—œβœ§Λ–Β°

today marks the 1 year anniversary of my Patreon relaunch! can you believe it? I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your invaluable support this past year. I don't want to linger on this point, but I was incredibly nervous about returning to Patreon and to have been met with this kind and supportive group of people (aka you guys) has been nothing short of wonderful and humbling. I have felt myself grow creatively in strides since relaunch and been encouraged to experiment and play with a variety of different mediums and ideas. from there, we fostered a space that introduced the return of the mail rewards! creating for the postcard and sticker club again has brought me immeasurable fulfillment and provided so many learning opportunities for me to grow. thanks for allowing me to show up in this way for you and to hopefully provide an experience and physical goodies that are enjoyable and fun to use. ^.^

to celebrate this day, I'm hosting a giveaway! the prize is....-drumroll- a XP-Pen display tablet! the Innovator 16 to be precise.

some photos of her splendor:

I bought this tablet several years ago to try out a different workflow and used it extensively for awhile. however, since switching back to the ipad, its time under the sun has faded and I don't see myself using it moving forward. it still works perfectly and is ready to be used by another artist who wants to bring their creations to life!

to enter, leave a comment on this post about 1 thing that made you smile recently. the giveaway will end on JUNE 27 @ 10 am PST, at which point I'll draw a name at random and announce the winner in the Patreon chat + DM the winner. good luck to all who enter!

─── β‹†β‹…β˜†β‹…β‹† ───

thank you again and cheers to another wonderful year together! β˜…οΌΌ(οΌΎβ–½οΌΎ)/

Might be too cheesy but this post made me smile!! Here's to another year of beautiful art!! 🎈🎨

Happy 1 year Vicki! I’m primarily a ceramic artist as my job, and I sell work at markets throughout the year. I applied to one and truly thought I wouldn’t be accepted, as they warned everyone they had a crazy number of applicants, but I was! I’m really proud of myself for that.

Eden Rozeria

Happy 1 year and thank you for the opportunity! One thing that made me smile recently was hanging out with my friends last night and telling them for the first time that I identify as sapphic. <3 They were really supportive πŸ₯Ί

Ever since then I’ve gotten so much art and every calendar! I hope you can continue to create because everything you do is amazing πŸ’œ Thank you for the giveaway! One thing that has made me smile recently is I got a promotion at work! 6 years of hard work but I did it and I’m proud 😁

Happy One Year Anniversary! One thing that made me happy recently was when my long term boyfriend took me out to visit a conservatory/botanical garden. Being able to admire nature in person really helped to inspire my art in more ways. I smiled the entire day!

Congrats on your one year. Something that made me smile recently was seeing my dog blue do his happy dance. He uses his paws like he is drumming the ground and starts walking by swaying his body side to side. His personality has always been such big a joy in my life ❀️❀️❀️

Krees

Love that you are back on patreon. Seeing one of my fav mangas get adapted really well was something that made me smile alot. Absolutely adore dungeon meshi.

Congrats! I've loved your art for years & I'm happy to have the opportunity to support you! πŸ₯°β€ I didn't enter when I first read this post because I'm struggling with nerve damage in my extremities but I think a digital device might make it easier for me to draw again. 🀞 Spending time with my dad & siblings always makes me smile the most because they've always kept me going even when things were tough! πŸ’―β£

midstnorth

Huge congratulations! Most recently, planning and getting everything ready for my cosplay buildup has made me smile c:

Irene

Something that made me smile recently is seeing all the wildlife on my daily walks. It is like IRL Animal Crossing and I am always trying to identify everything I see and encounter hehe.

Sage

Yesterday I smiled about a dog that came into our shop that sounded just like a squeaky door when he wanted to bark but knew he shouldn't! Thanks so much for all your work on the Patreon this year, it's been awesome having you back! β™‘

Alexina

Congratulations Vicki!! It's been so nice having you back!!! The thing that made me smile recently was seeing my cat tentatively exploring our new backyard after moving house, he's never lived anywhere with a proper bit of garden for him to explore!!!

Ash Miller

Congrats on 1 year Vicki!!! Seeing my partner and my cat interact with each other makes me smile, he talks to her like a doting dad would (calls her gorgeous, angel, princess, etc) it's funny and adorable πŸ₯°πŸ˜ Especially because when I got her he said to me "she's your cat, you paid for her" but like 2 days after we got her he was calling her his furry daughter πŸ˜‚

Ghost Saibu

Congrats on 1 year!!! I was so excited when I found out you were doing the patreon again, I loved it before as well. One thing that made me smile this week was PLAYABLE ZELDA!!! The way I cried lol πŸ₯ΉπŸ’–

CONGRATSπŸ’žπŸ’žπŸ’ž Recently after a few months of feeling extremely down and listening to way too many hours of mitski/laufey i have finally got to a point where i can once more say im happy. While i was stressed out at work i suddenly stopped and thought β€œEven tho this is all really tough this is probably the happiest i’ve felt in a while, im working really hard, im glad i didn’t give up” and that made me cry/smile πŸ₯ΊπŸ’ž just the fact that sadness is not beating me up anymore!

Jessica DiPaola

CONGRATS ON 1 YEAR, VICKI!!!! πŸ©·πŸ’œ It’s been a bit of a rough year for me, but sitting down and thinking about the things that have made me smile actually cheered me up. πŸ₯Ή Last weekend I flew back home to watch one of my childhood friends get married and I got to see a bunch of my friends from high school and it just was so rejuvenating and really filled my soul with joy to see everyone thriving again. Life pulled a lot of us all over the country and the world but it was nice to see that we all still cared for each other and were genuinely happy to see everyone again. A little mini reunion to fuel the soul. 🩷

Darius Watson

Congrats on your one year!!! I beat a tough boss in Elden Ring and smiled after that :>

Ollie

Happy 1 year! Been a fan for a while and happy to finally get to support. Lately the baby finch that has decided to set up outside on our back porch has made me smile, it’s smaller than a palm right now πŸ₯Ή
