new pins, cover reveals, and store closing in under 2 weeks!
Aug 07, 2024
Hello!
Since my last newsletter, I did zinefest! My first full zinefest in a few years, and it was good. I made many new zines.
One that I didn’t post last time is a collab zine I did with some friends! It was like a stamp rally, where people take a blank zine and bring it around to every table, and we each did a lino print on our page. And it becomes a little diary of a little star character’s adventures!
It was fun.
Online Store
will be closing August 15! Will probably reopen late September.
My new pins came! These are all on my store now:
shop wood pins now!
The cover was revealed for the 3rd Monster Girlfriend book! I enjoyed working on these (and there’s more related art from me coming!)
here’s the full art for book 3:
Kinda half a cover reveal, which isn’t officially up but I figure is okay to share since the author has - but I’ve been doing the cover + illustrations for the second Charlie Tangaroa book that comes out from Huia Publishers later this year! Here’s a piece of the cover:
There are many creatures :)
Also last month I did an Archivist Wasp cosplay photoshoot - technically a catch up from WCPF (in February) with @xavierlignieres this month! Haven’t posted these anywhere yet but here’s a preview.
They’re shot on film, in-camera effects!
Good Books I’ve Read
The Sunforge - wild scififantasy sequel to The Dawnhounds, read an arc but it came out today!
The Last Tale of the Flower Bride - spooky gothic fantasy with a toxic female friendship
The Stardust Grail - fun space opera adventure heist
Walking Practice - horror novella about an alien trying to survive by hooking up with people and eating them
The West Passage - weird fantasy adventure that’s like if medieval illustrations were eldritch
