Noodling around with a “risograph” brush set for procreate. I think I made a mistake since you need to pair specific brushes with specific layers, but still pretty cool and fun to work with.

🔜 Goals for November 1-15

Hey all! I'd like to start offering more transparency and hype around what I'm working on, both personal and commissioned projects, and even some insights into business admin and personal life. So every 2 weeks (or 1-15th, then 15th-30th of each month) I'll share an update of what I plan to work on or what events or deadlines I have.

Please note that many of these will be goals, and unfortunately things like my migraines might disrupt them. But at minimum I can share what I have planned and what happens along the way with you all.

🧜‍♀️ Personal

Outside of the above responsibilities, I will focus on rest - With 4 nearly back to back events & all the prep, setup, teardown, and transportation involved, I'm close to burning out, and won't be able to help myself or anyone else if that happens. I also anticipate experiencing a strong emotional reaction to the upcoming US election and may need some quiet time for that. 💔

Ok! Hopefully the first of these biweekly updates was useful or informative! I expect them to evolve over time as I figure out what works and what doesn't. Next update will be around the 15th to share plans for the next two weeks.

Day two in the FBL dealers den table 27! I'm sold out of size Small for my wolf shirts and only have 1 Small left for cat shirts. Stop by, say hi, and see what else I have on offer! 🖤

✋ Shop pause notice:

I will be pausing my shop ~~tomorrow~~ today until 15th November. This will give me time to focus on my next two events and update my stock accordingly.

Pausing for now since I'm having a technical issue with the ink, but pretty happy with how these are coming out so far :) They're a bit more grunge than the cat design, which is actually making some cool effects

This one is going to be a bigger challenge than I thought...

Super quick digital test for the next design :) I think it's good to go!
