Kia ora! Slight delay on this because I wanted to wait til my store is back open.....our printer broke.....3 days before armageddon, I only just got it back from the repair guy. yay. Anyway, store is back open!
Recent Events
I've had a busy month! First we had Great Games With Pals which is a lovely little gaming con (I definitely totally have game art shh)
Then last week, Auckgeddon! This was a veryyyy busy event and I think my best yet (which is pretty good for half a table)
I made a post with sale numbers for some of my stuff, if you're interested in that.
upcoming events: Unless a local christmas market pops up (I haven't really been keeping an eye out), probably nothing until next year.
New Art
I watched a court of fey and flowers earlier in the year (I'm slowly making my way through dimension 20) and I loved it a lot! While I don't typically Make Art For Merch For Cons, I was thinking I should have a little more tangentially-game-related stuff for GGWP and these ended up happening very quickly. I do not know why 3/3 of my d20 arts have been bird characters (I drew Ayda last year) .......
There's a little bit of a speedpaint of each of these on tiktok (not the whole thing, just a few minutes of each that I remembered to record)
And some more unusually Fast And Topical Fanart - I watched the Knights of Guinevere pilot and loved it a lot! Here's Gwen:
tumblr / insta / bsky / tiktok
aaand here's the girls too:
Back to books, and something for the horror season: fanart of Feast While You Can by Mikaella Clements & Onjuli Datta! Lesbian horror romance I read earlier in the year and enjoyed very much. I have a couple similar character portraits in the works, but this ended up being finished first.
I also was playing around with AmberDraw (animated brushes app) and have a wiggly video version of this, which is on tt & ig
One of the fun new things I mentioned last email! A fantasy map notepad with die cut edges, 4 unique page designs that connect into one map, & a matching sticker sheet! I had this idea and literally drew & made the entire thing in like 24 hours. i am very fond of it. You can see some of the process here
I also have a display version which I'm letting people draw in at cons :) which is very cute i love people's doodles. You can see a few of them on bsky here!
I am very happy to have a friend whose laser cutter I can steal again and I've made some new earring designs!
I had the idea to turn my leaf sketches I did last month into wood earrings...I love how they came out. They're engraved on both sides, and in a few different wood types (I just used a bunch of samples). There's 14 leaf designs, and I made them so they can pair identically or mix & match.
Here's a tiktok of some of the creation process of these!
To continue the forest floor theme: some basket fungi! These are white acrylic.
And for a completely different vibe - some spiky magic star designs! These are in frosted light blue acrylic. Three's a pair of shooting stars, and some spiky stars a little bit inspired by the vibes of the anomaly from arcane, haha. I love holey organic patterns and shapes....
and one new thing: con ribbons! these are a big thing in other countries but not in NZ....we're trying to make them a thing! Check out Kale & Kez's designs here (last pic). I made a bookmark collector design and a murderbot design!
obviously the point of these is to be at conventions, but the vast majority of you are never going to see me at one, so they're on my store too:
Online Store
The earrings are on my store - along with my restocked cicada wing earrings. The leaf earrings are marked as sold out because there's so many unique designs - email/message me so I can send you pictures of what's available & you can choose before buying!
- Reminder I am not sending packages (ie non-flat mail) to the US/UK/EU, so earrings are just for NZ/AUS/Canada etc people, sorry!
- BUT since some people have been confused: I can still send most things, like bookmarks, stickers, & prints to the US! (anything flat can be sent as letter mail almost anywhere in the world)
- I've had too many NZ letter orders take an unusual amount of time to arrive, so I've switched all NZ orders to courier. This means it's more like 3.50us ($6ish) instead of 1us. If you would rather letter mail for whatever reason email me I guess.
I also have a few new wood pins! of my tiny fungi art. accidentally got some on light wood instead of dark, and the large one came out a little redder than intended....still. yay mushroom leaves!
I redesigned these mycology bookmarks a little! Just the gilding design on the spine - I did the first ones about 5 years ago and they were a bit simple and wonky compared to the detail of my recent designs.
ACOFAF stickers! And Knights of Guinevere stickers/prints! which were a big hit at armageddon.
That is all! see you next month. Time for me to print so many things with my returned printer
