Hellloooo! ✨️ Social media has been a lot for me lately but I wanted to let y'all know that I am indeed having a sale on my art this year. This would be a great time to get anything you've been looking at since I'm not sure when my next sale will be. Also, Etsy is having a promo for TODAY ONLY where you can get $5 dollars off $25 or more, WHICH MEANS my candles are only $20.49. That's the lowest price online EVER. Just use the code CYBER24.

Little update. I'm still active over here on tumblr dot com (I sure have been scrollin every day) but I've been in the biggest art making slog of my life atm. I sit down to make stuff and it just doesn't happen. Hoping to get out of the rut soon. Meanwhile, I've been playing a lot of video games. Finished a replay of Fallout: New Vegas +DLC since I never got around to the DLC. Also finished both Subnautica games and Dragon Age: Origins for the time. Anyone got any recs or games they've played recently?

🌟 Katamari Cousin Charm Sale!

So many cousins, what a big family… Who will you invite to roll with you?

I’m having a big sale on my Katamari charms! ✨ I now have a random/gacha option for them, too, so you can try your luck on a random little guy 😳

As much as I love them, they're hard to keep track of, so I'd like to clear out the Cousins and most of them won’t be restocked! If there was someone you'd been eyeing, now is a good time to grab em! (Note that some of them are out of stock right now)

how do you make your stickers?

I've gone through a few different avenues over the years but I'm currently having outside companies produce my stickers. My fave is Sticker Ninja but I do use Sticker Mule on occasion. However, I'm trying to move away from Sticker Mule due to some controversial things I've heard over the years (you can just google it), but it's really hard sometimes since their deals make their stickers affordable and I'm trying to, you know, live. Sticker Ninja is great though! I use a lot of temperamental colors in my work and they always go above and beyond to get the printing just right. Their staff are always super friendly, they are local to me, and they seems to have good business practices. Plus they also do deals if you keep up with their ig account. Early on I did make my stickers. I used sticker photo paper and then would slap on self-adhesive laminating sheets for extra protection. Then I would use my cricut/silhouette machine to cut them. Or hand cut them! My uni had a print shop too and they were really flexible so sometimes I'd just bring in sticker paper and they'd be fine with printing on that. *Edit 7/15/24* Haha naaah fuck Sticker Mule now ESPECIALLY. Making the switch away 100%.

First time trying out aseprite!

Another wip Wednesday! Some hella sick Synthwave vibes. 😎 Fun fact: When I was younger I lived in a rural town where you had to drive through the mountains to get to the nearest city. This is always how it felt to kid me when the city lights and buildings started peaking out as you crossed over the top of the pass.

My first wip wednesday! Last year I finished the game Pentiment and proceeded to fall down a rather healthy deep wikipedia hole. That's when I started working on this! A pixel art version of The Anatomical Zodiac Man page from the illuminated manuscript Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. I have been working on it on/off ever since. Not sure when it'll be finished as it continues to be a massive time commitment. Here are some snippets in the meantime including an ungodly(heh) amount of fancy leaves. Also, did I mention this is all in Illustrator so it's technically a vector!
