OMG 🤣

One of my favorite artists recommended it to me at NY Comic Con! I might be in EU around that time so I thought why not try 😶‍🌫️

It was awesome! I highly recommend it if you ever want to come to a US show! It's more comic-oriented than anime, but there is a big community of art enthusiasts that I found to be very passionate about original work, and not just "cute products to sell" like most artist alleys

I can't even express how meaningful that has been for me 💖

Social media is tough for a lot of us and it can be discouraging, but please don't lose heart. Someone out there is still rooting for you!

(Wholesome ending)

After years of my Instagram plummeting and barely having any more reach, I thought people would have forgotten about me 😭

It filled me with immense joy and motivation to meet so many people at NYCC who specifically came to my table to see me and say nice things about my art.

Also fun fact:
Someone once accused me of "copying" a LION drawn by James Jene to draw this tiger, and I'm like ??? It's a big CAT with its mouth open, all you need to reference is a picture of a real one 😭 Why would I need to copy it from another artist haha (also we drew different angles too)

My art equivalent of "peaking in high school" is never being able to top my Year of the Tiger design with any of my other Lunar New Year designs 💀

Shoutout to Moo (where I get my postcarda done) for having the best customer service. Everytime an order came out wrong they always offered to instantly replace it with free express shipping too!

Maybe they spoiled me

Also let me just be a Karen for a min:

Never in my life I've reached out for a print error and got told "Sorry, skill issue, nothing we can do" 🫠 I've been a customer for 8 years and it really disappointed me.

Especially because it wasn't user error, the black border was never in my file. Oh well

Naurrr 😭

I finally restocked my most popular sticker pack and they came in with a random black border that was never in the file 💀 Customer service refused to reprint or refund, so.. black border it is I guess ✌️
