Screenshot of my online shop framed by a purple border. Above in a blue box the white text "smallbizcat's new shop launch!". The shop page shows my smallbizcat logo with the menu "products, search, home, products, cart, portfolio". The items shown read "Glitter Sticker Frog Clown", showing a round sticker with a silly frog as a clown, "Frog Socks Rollerskate Cozy Bed", showing two pairs of socks mostly blue and purple, one with a skating frog and one with a frog under a patchwork blanket. The next one says "Freddy Flowers Riso Print", showing a square risograph print of a frog chilling in a field of blue flowers. "Freddy Frog Wooden Stamps", showing a small wooden stamp of an excited frog. "Freddy Embroidered Unisex T-Shirt", showing a beige t-shirt with a frog motive. "Enamel Pins Shark Watering Can Moon", showing 3 enamel pins on a beige fabric, one of a frog with a sunhat sitting in a silver watering can, one of a small frog sitting on a purpleish moon crescent and one of a dark blue shark. Photograph of a square risograph print of a frog chilling in a field of blue flowers. The frog is sitting down with his arms holding his legs, he looks very calm with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. The print is rested on a small standee that is standing in a field of grass. Photograph of a stickerbook with the title "critterbook" showing a frog laying down with his arms behind his head on a blanket surrounded by bugs and butterflies. The main colour of the book is a yellowish green. The book is rested on a blue crate with pens in it standing in a field of grass. Photograph of a stickersheet. The stickers are puffy so a bit 3D and show a variety of small rain themed icons: A good weather ghost, a worm, a frog dreaming of the mountains, the word "rain", an umbrella shaped like a frog, some red hydrangea, some lightning, a rainbow ending in two clouds, sun coming through the clouds, a puddle showing the reflection of a frog, a smiling sun, a red flower, a blue cat in a yellow rain hat, another flower, the wind (just swirly lines), a frog looking surprised at a rain drop, a sprout, a leaf, the words "pitter patter", a frog hand reaching towards dew on a leaf with the word "plop", a cloud with rain boots smiling and a frog in a raincoat. The background ist a purple-white gingham.

An illustration of a small, crying tabby cat holding a shopping bag. Next to it are large hand-drawn words that say “shopping small makes a big difference.” The cat has a heart over its head, and there are many other doodles around everything on a sage green background.

Before vs now

Sometimes you just gotta get back to finished pages because you realized you had an off drawing day and your character looks goofy
Panel in lineart of original character Tao holding up a basketball Same panel and Tao still in the same pose hit his expression and head tilt are different. Now sharper and his expression more teasing

Looking forward to Polaris 👀

Text: smallbizcat at Polaris B4.171 Deskmats 90x40cm, new, Mousepad 25cm. The first image shows the illustration of one of the deskmats, a frog sitting on a branch with pink flowers, some more flowers on the left and a purple background with a white grid. The next is a collage of many frogs doing several poses in a white grid on a purple background, the poses rang from laying down comfy, sitting turned away from the viewer to jumping in the air! The mousepad is Freddy the frog's happy face with closed eyes amd big pink swirly cheeks. Text: smallbizcat at Polaris B4.171, Lanyards, Earrings, Keychains. The photographs show a long lanyard with rain themed icons, a short lanyard with frogs in different hats and a pair of earrings of a weather ghost with a rain drop pearl dangling under it. That design is also available as a phone charm. There's also keychains of a mushroom with cutlery, a bee dangling below a red flower and a green Junimo holding a big yellow star with the words "you tried". The last keychain is a shaker charm of a cloud with 5 little Warawaras that can be shook around. Text: smallbizcat at Polaris B4.171, Buttons, Wooden & Enamel Pins. The photographs show a heart shaped buttons of KeeKee the cat curled up into a heart shape with a holo finish. Below there's 15 more small round buttons showing designs of frogs, rain themes and cats. The wooden pins pictured are two chestnut animals, a frog in a raincoat and a frog face on a sunflower. The enamel pins are a frog sitting in a shiny silver watering can wearing a sunhat, a small frog dreaming on a glittery moon cresceng and a dark blue shark looking friendly. Text: smallbizcat at Polaris B4.171 Washitape, Commissions, Choose: snack, accessoire, companion. The 4 washitape designs are one with a halloween theme with a black cat, pumplin, bat, wizard, cauldron and ghost. The next is rain themed with frogs, flowers, a rainbow and clouds. The 3rd is many frog faces wearing hats ranging from wizard hat, to bow, to crown. And the last one is summer themed with frogs, a butterfly, icecream, a crab and a sandcastle. The commission is a print of a wizard from holding a staff, like a character inventory screen in a game with 3 empty slots on the right that can be filled out allowing for commissioner's requests.

Photo of a fold enamel pin on a backing card. The pin has a flower shape with a blue stylized ribbons on the bottom. The words "No. 1 GenAI hater" are written in blue in the center of the flower shape. Photo of an enamel pin. It's a grey cat wearing a beret, a vest and shorts. She's covered in yellow, red and blue paint splatters and poses in a wide angry stance, holding up a paint brush in her right hand and a paint palette in her left hand. Photo of a sticker showing a fat white cat giving a thumbs up. The cat is decorated with several crooked yellow stars, that have "You tried" written in their center. Photo of a wood magnet. The design looks similiar to Microsoft Word's mascot Clippy, but with cat ears.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

A photograph of a woodcarving of a shark being held in a gloved hand. In the background there are carving knives and woodchips on a cutting mat. A photograph of the same carving being held up, but painted in deep blue and white, akin to the IKEA plushie Blåhaj. The carving has a little shimmer to it due to the markers used to paint the figure. In the background there is still the same cutting mat with the same wood chips.
