Remember that exciting news I mentioned? Here it is!
You can now PRE-ORDER prints of my vintage-style cryptid travel posters!
We also have some Champ prints leftover from Burlington Pride, so you can just order one of those:
I also designed some "YOU ARE QUEER ENOUGH" business cards to hand out to anyone questioning whether they're "allowed" to want or have opinions about queer culture. They're also on pre-order!
ALL PRE-ORDERS WILL START SHIPPING IN DECEMBER 2023!!
Hey! All of your drawings do not need to be completely unique from one another. Do you know how many versions and replicas of his Sunflowers Van Gogh actually did? Just draw that naked guy ten times. Reuse that colour palette. Do that pose again. Follow your heart for real, no one can care as much as you do.
ID: A banner with grey 3D models of 5 kinds of manual wheelchairs in a line in front of the disability pride flag and text that reads "Manual Wheelchair References" /End ID
For disability pride month, I decided to release a pack of 3D manual wheelchair models.
The pack includes 5 wheelchairs:
2 Active urban-style chairs (one of which includes a smart drive)
1 off-road active chair
1 children's wheelchair
and 1 standard "hospital" wheelchair).
All the wheelchairs are based off either wheelchairs I or friends of mine have used
Downloadable here!
or on the Clip Studio Paint Asset Store (ID 2097442) (there's been an issue with the CSP version, but the models in the download folder can be imported into clip studio paint until I can fix it)
More info about the download contents below:
The first download link includes the original .Blend file with all 5 chairs, as well as individual .obj or .fbx files the chairs (All but 1 have an .obj file, as they're only meshes. The chair with the smart drive is rigged, which is why it has an .Fbx file instead so it will retain that information) as well as a "read me" file that explains in more depth what kind of disability/character/lifestyle each chair is made for (These are just what I had in mind when I designed them, they are usable by other characters who don't fit the suggestions for the most part!) I wanted to include the Read Me contents in the CSP Asset Store listing, but CS said it was too long lol.
Also, as the title says, these files are free to use! While it's not mandatory, I would appreciate credit if you use them (or even just a tag so I can see the cool art you make with them!!)
I actually made these ages ago, the original plan was to use them in a series of posts then release the pack, but I never got around to making the series and so they've just been sitting here. I took a day off from art fight attacks to clean them all up and get them ready to post. If you experience any issues, let me know and I'll try to fix it up.
I had a couple more that were supposed to be in the pack including a sports (basketball/Tennis) wheelchair and some different styles of wheelchair, but I think the files corrupted so once I fix (or remake) them, I'll probably make a second pack.
clip studio paint PERPETUAL (not a subscription!!) license is $23.40 USD right now!
I use csp EX 2.0 so I’m a couple versions behind and can’t afford to upgrade to 4.0 right now, but even an outdated version of csp is worth holding onto. cannot recommend csp enough

If you're unaware, Swordtember is an online creative challenge I started back in 2020. The challenge is themed around swords and takes place across the month of September. From 3D models to D&D campaigns, and everything in between- it's always a blast to see what people make!
As always, this is intended to be a low stress challenge. There's no need to participate daily (I sometimes sit it out entirely because life gets so busy this time of year!). There's also no pressure to follow my prompt list- I know other people put out some amazing lists (and you can totally just freestyle and do your own thing, of course).
During September I'll be rounding up my favorite entries on Saturdays (Sworderdays?) from challenge participants to share on Bluesky and Instagram. Just post with #swordtember ! I'm so excited to see what people make this year.
Went to Michael's yesterday to pick up supplies to make some more TRANS PRIDE CHICKENS for some upcoming Pride/queer markets I'll be vending at!
Saturday, July 26th I'll be at White River Junction Pride in White River Junction, VT
AND
Saturday, August 2nd I'll be one of the travelling vendors at Queer Arts Festival in Barre, VT
You can find out more information through MY BRAND SPANKIN NEW WEBSITE!
While I don't have my chickens up there just yet, you can find all of my cryptid travel posters, some prints of the other art I've posted here, and prints of some art and photography I haven't posted here! I'll also be posting some watercolor paintings there eventually as well.
Oh, did you notice that yarn that isn't a trans pride color? Yeah, we're running some experiments. I'm hoping to have them done for Bakuretsucon in November (I've applied, here's hoping I get in!), but who knows? Maybe you'll see them here sooner 👀
"I can totally just set up my own website!" I say, "I've done it so many times before for Shapeshifters!" forgetting that starting a new website means painstakingly setting up listings for every single product, objectively the most annoying part of setting up a website.
"what's the worst thing you can do as an artist" is not "shade with black" or "not use references" or whatever the worst thing you can do as an artist is hate yourself. and that includes the person you used to be
Working up some new crochet patterns for some upcoming markets and decided to go with cotton yarn since it's rural local vibes and I'm remembering why I've avoided working with cotton yarn for, like, ten years.
It's even worse because I also picked up some new yarn to do Pride-themed chickens and it's not cotton, but it's a similar non-slippery texture that's very similar. I've found myself avoiding making things because I just really don't like the texture.
At least I have some watercolor paintings to also work on. And I've promised myself I can pick up more of the yarn I used to make the fandom chickens as a treat once I use up this yarn.
