Dear Reader,
I’m writing to you after my third coffee for the morning— it’s a mid week Monday feeling. I’ve finally had time to update my online store and design some new goodies for the back half of the year!
I’ll keep it short up top, keep on scrolling for store drops, SDCC notes, HCG art and the next wave of conventions. Ooo! and a VERY fun little job I got to work on last month!
My Store is Open!
My online store is open again and full of SDCC exclusives and all the goodies I’ve been working on since the start of the year! I have new claw clips, Studio Ghibli, Bluey, Fourth Wing and Pixar art as well as some limited comic comps and The Radiants SDCC exclusive print.
All orders will ship on Monday Aug 19!
Fae Ball Character Design
Last month Galaxy Con reached out to me with a bit of a dream job! I was invited to put my spin on their mascot character ‘Galaxy Girl’ for the new show Fae Ball (Austin TX). Fae Ball is where your literary dreams rise from the page and become your magical reality. The show is focuses around fantasy literature and book girl culture with author meet and greets and after dark balls.
Using the original character design as a base, Galaxy Girl was given a whimsical fae make over to suit the Fae Ball event. Her design leans into a soft celestial look to tie in the larger branding whilst keeping to the look of the original character design with the pixie cut.
She will be featured on signage and market for the event!
Thank You SDCC
I survived SDCC 2024! A huge thank you to everyone who came past the booth and to the Image Comics signing. And an extra special thank you to everyone who stopped past to check out my pieces at HCG.
I was incredibly nervous going into the weekend, SDCC isn’t quite like other shows. It becomes a real who’s who of the industry, people talk about who had the longest signing lines, who was on the most panels, who was invited to be apart of booth signings, after parties etc. Everyone is trying to feel apart of their respective industry and also feel that what they contribute matters. It’s very easy to feel lost in the noise and I’m someone who easily gets sucked into comparing where I am at to someone else’s success. But being surrounded by incredible people lets you enjoy the moment and for get about all of this!
I was so touched by all the people who came past with my variant covers, I LOVE working on these and it means the world to see them so well received by the community. I also had the opportunity to attend my first Eisner Awards (Comic awards) which was a hoot! All in all an incredibly fun and exhausting weekend— THANK you to everyone who was apart of it!
