Phew, writing this a bit later than I'd like but it's been a busy past few weeks, so I'm admittedly more tired than I'd like to be. Glad it's finally feeling more like spring though, as much as I like colder weather it's def been wearing on me way more than it used to.
Huge thank you to everyone that stopped by at MoCCA and Sanger Hall last month! Was wonderful meeting everyone, both old and new. Sharing my work with people is always a pleasure, and I especially loved hearing from folks who've been following my work for a long time. Felt a little bad I didn't have as much new stuff as I wanted to, but I hope I can continue to inspire.
There's a few new things debuted at these shows that I still need to list online, so keep an eye out. Was excited to have these handmade bookmarks ready for MoCCA, so hope those of you who have one now put them to good use.
Aiming for Flamecon if I get accepted as my last major show for the year. If not, you can try to catch me at any small local fairs in the Queens (maybe Brooklyn?) area in the future.

[🍒] Glad people seem to have enjoyed the clovers last month for sticker club! Feeling a bit more indecisive for this month but think I'm going to settle on something like this as a design. Wanted to maybe do something more... cute? Like Peter Rabbit inspired, but that's for another day.
On a personal level, I started a new contract job for the month. It's my first in-office role in five years, so my time might be a bit short in the coming future as I adapt to my new schedule.
Definitely grappling with the fact that physical exhaustion is a very real thing for me these days, so going to try to be easy on myself on the personal art production this month, as frustrating as that can be for me. Despite that though, I've been chipping away at some new traditional work for a show I want to do with Sunnyside Arts next month. Stay tuned:

Some of y'all have seen these in person already as donation-based stickers being sold at MoCCA (thank you for $100 in mutual aid!), but will probably list these designs in my shop when I get the chance for folks interested. Will probably continue directing funds to Sunnyside Woodside Mutual Aid, though will be keeping an eye out for more direct ways to contribute the money so impact is maximized.
Especially right now, there's even more designs swimming in my head for more possible mutual aid stickers, but will have to save those for another day. Please support your local communities when you can either way.

Probably it for now (actually quite tired while I'm typing this so hopefully I covered everything). Hope everyone's well, and hayfever isn't too bad for those of you who have it. As always, thank you thank you thank you for the support.
