The shop is back! It will stay open over the weekend and maybe a bit longer before I close it up for the year.

So get your goods while it lasts ✨
Sorry for the repost but:

US shipping is live! (It's not cheap but there should be 0 hassle for yall as all tariffs have been covered!)

Again, all my MCM London leftovers are now up - some of them are very low on stock so act fast. Deltarune keychains are back soon!

Creatives are constantly told to raise their prices, and then when they do suffer on sales - I've had first-hand experience

So, this is a way that I feel comfortable doing it short term, and hopefully with it raise some money for a new laptop 💕

Thank you @dndbeyond.com for the Heroes of Faerun expansions! Gorgeous covers (including the alts)! I can't wait to dive into them!

Don't mind the very colorful background, it's the only available surface space I had in my office! 😆

Spent quite some time chatting with @unlimitedrealmsltd.bsky.social and @cloaksandcapes.bsky.social yesterday about life, gaming, art and our upcoming collaboration. It completely rejuvenated my determination to make this happen! You all are going to love what we have planned!

The final D&D piece I get to share for now, from Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun! Plus the painting (acrylic, 12x16) when it was in progress while I was visiting my in-laws in China this past winter.

I find that I'm overly protective of my community. Someone even hints of spamming, soliciting, or messaging people on my server and I'm watching them like a hawk! I have one of the most relaxed communities & would like to keep it that way. Mama-bear mode activated!

Trying to organize my art supplies in my new studio is proving...interesting. The internal struggle I'm having over wanting to have my supplies at the ready versus have all my pretty things surrounding me is so difficult right now.

What's a random fun fact about you?

I am truly ambidextrous and can draw/write with either hand.
What's a random fun fact about you?

Mine is that I can unicycle and juggle...although probably not both at the same time anymore. 😂

This reminds me, I’m on the lookout for a CPA who has experience with freelance artists so I don’t have to explain why mood lighting is absolutely a tax deduction.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.
