June art - new bookmarks, zines, and more
Jun 30, 2024
Mānawatia a Matariki! Some art updates from me…
Upcoming Events
I’ll hopefully be at the Newtown Market on Saturday 6th! It was cancelled last month, which may happen again. I’ll keep updated in insta stories I guess.
I will definitely be at Zinefest (Vic uni school of design) on the 13th! I have a bunch of new zines. I won’t have most of my normal stuff with me, maybe just some stickers and/or bookmarks.
Fundraising Giveaway
I’m still running fundraising giveaways to support two families who are trying to evacuate Gaza. The effectiveness is slowing down unfortunately, so I’m not sure how much longer I’ll keep them going for. I’ll keep posting about their campaigns though
This week is a bunch of my fungi bookmarks & stickers:

Store Updates
A bunch of new updates! Also as a note, will probably close my store sometime during August-September (for a month or so), though exact time isn’t planned yet.
I have four new bookmark designs, two fantasy book spines & two fungi!
old book spine bookmarks / fungi bookmarks
New(ish) stickers! I’ve made some individual stickers of a few designs off my sticker sheets, as well as my new pin designs. I’ve also made a listing for some of my old stickers that I’ve discontinued at events, but you can buy them on my store if you want! All of these are made to order at home, so they’re not the thicker vinyl that some of those designs used to be.
fantasy stickers / nature stickers
I restocked a lot of a5 prints, and have a couple new ones: my bog girl and farcille!
I’ve finally brought back my cicada wing earrings! With a cute new backing card. There are normal hooks and a few clip-on attachments too (what I use!)
New Art
Falin and Marcille from Delicious In Dungeon!
Lorelei and Sylvia from A Dark And Drowning Tide! I did two versions because I couldn’t decide what I liked more….
I posted the skull design last time but I also added this lilypad sword to my pin deisgns last second! It’s going to be a double-pin linked by a chain. These are ordered and in production now!
I’ve also been making some zines for zinefest! I haven’t done a proper zinefest for a couple years because I just wanted to focus on other art, but after a while some new ideas started simmering!
I’ve also almost completely re-made my mini bookshelf zines (there’s about 18, and each contains 28 books - I completely replaced most of the content of most of them!)
Also I made some sticker books out of the leftover release paper from the laminate I use to make stickers at home which I think turned out cute:
Also me and a few friends are cooking up a collaborative zine (kinda like a stamp rally) so stay tuned for that!
Good Books I’ve Read
Metal From Heaven - wild and emotional lesbian high fantasy revenge quest.
Salt Houses - fantastic historical fiction about generations of a displaced Palestinian family
Pluralities - really interesting speculative fiction novella about figuring out gender
Confetti Realms - funny, weird, heartfelt spooky YA graphic novel about some teens that get sucked into an alt dimension through a graveyard
