I know you havnt posted on tumblr in ages BUT would you ever sell your hannibal tarot cards again?? I've adored them for months and am so upset I missed out on purchasing them

HI HELLO im alive. and YES actually i do plan to sell them again! in fact, about half of the decks still available and just sitting in my room, i've just had to temporarily close my webshop for some personal reasons & can't sell anything without that fully operational. the plan is to open that up again most likely some time this autumn & sell the remainder then. sorry for the delay, but thanks for your interest!! <3

**edit: for anyone seeing this later on, replace "this autumn" with maybe late spring '25...? ^_^;

#also i do plan on posting art again on here again #this site is too good & the tags on reblogs give me life #just been busy with life & my over-wrought comic project #...but stay tuned!#MY OVERLONG COMIC PROJECT IS TAKING AN OVERLONG TIME SORRY!!! working ft has also very much interrupted my normal art pace #just cant goof around like i used to. capitalism at it again... :')

SHOP HIATUS

hi all! just wanted to report for any interested parties that my shop will likely be going on a break starting June 1st on until late this year/early next year... when hopefully I’ll have a Special New Item available...! :3

anyway-- anyone looking to get the hannibal tarot set before this year is out, i’d recommend you order soon! almost half of the total supply is still available.

thanks!

**EDIT: SHOP IS NOW ON HIATUS! thanks to everyone for your orders thus far! excited for what’s next... :]

#personal #shop update #delete later #the Second Item is slow-going but so excited to share it heheh

hi! just wanted to say i ordered your hannibal tarot cards and they're utterly gorgeous <3 they also survived the trip all the way to australia perfectly intact as well - my local post service has a notorious rep for damaging parcels so in my eyes if anything survives them in pristine condition, the packer did well. gorgeous envelope to keep them in as well! keen to take some nice photos of them later and display some in my new tarot card holders!

phew, awesome, thanks for letting me know!! constantly worried about international orders making it there unscathed. oh man though, had no idea about that... unique reputation uhhh i just packaged them like normal...... •_•; wwell, um, glad they survived somehow regardless. also thank you for the compliments!! so glad you're happy with them :D (&actually, i'd be kinda curious to see your solution for displaying them-- personally never know how to showcase smaller items. if you'd like, feel free to message me with your set-up!)

#hannibal tarot #yahoo!#success

...okay so it’s very slow going, but i cannot wait to show you guys this very stupid thing i am working on.

#wagering 5 to 10 of you will be very hyped #while the rest will be asking: why........?#&youre right &i have no excuse but #im havin fun #but anyway this stupid thing is what's to blame for my lack of posting #I AM DRAWING I SWEAR OKAY????#(&to clarify it's not one of my original comic stories yet but i am also trying to get some prep work done on those #so....#Things Are Coming.)

hi, okay, so, literally no one asked for this, but while I’m working on some actual art to post on here, I’m just gonna..... share this.... thing.

SO, a few months back, I got into a heated debate about who to cast as the one-and-only Lelouch in a live Code Geass adaptation & my fixation on this question got... a bit out of hand. the culmination of this was me spending hours trying to cast just nearly everyone for the entire series during a weeb manic fugue state.

now, you may be saying - emily, you’ve got some big budget actors here in pretty secondary roles! what are you thinking?? BUT this is all imagining that I personally were the showrunner & the casting director & that this was a world where budget was apparently no issue because I’d geass’d the donors into sharing their full life’s earnings, and, on top of all this, yes, we could in fact also afford to render all the mechs! don’t ask questions. It’s My Fancast & I Can Run the Studio Into Unsalvageable Debt If I Want To!

....&anyway, thought I’d share this for anyone who cares or had their own fan-castings in mind, or else just wanted to bear witness my madness.

(thing is, I put this together in spite of myself, being someone who 99% of the time does NOT care for live-action adaptations to perfectly good animations.... BUT, in a world where all the loving work of adapting was my own... well, I just had to know.)

#code geass #madness #i really dont know what to tell you #might delete this later but in case it amuses anyone.... here it is for now lol #(i say amuses but i got very seriously invested in this)#(code geass - stupid as it is - is still one of my top two anime of all time)#(this & puella magi have my heart forever)#(PLEASE WATCH CODE GEASS IF YOU HAVEN'T IT IS MY FAVORITEEEE)#(LELOUCH IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! JYB IS THE BEST DUB CHOICE OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!)#...........srry ill post art here again eventually lol. still workin on some slow-brewing projects (incl a Big Boy proj for one of my favs)#.........anyway i think i knocked it out of the park with the fancasting here some of my best work tbh #just saw the Essex Serpent recently &it was a fairly mediocre show and a waste of tom hiddleston #but frank dillane's smarmy expressions & asshole-ish charisma had some spot-on lelouch energy

An original, non-fanart work?? Whaat?

Alright, so, here’s an animatic I made through SVA’s Continuing Ed course on Storyboarding. Been meaning to learn the principles & software of boarding for a while now, to see if it might be a worthwhile avenue to pursue, &to assess if I could actually shift art-making into my full-time job--?! &Thus, this is my first foray into that terrain. Thanks to my sister & her husband for voicing & for lending me the inspo of their ridiculous D&D misadventures!!

Now, sit back & tune in to...:

“One Froggy Funeral”

Join Naseem, Aluvian, and Tanzy on their latest quest through the Faewild Forest as they seek bounty! Glory! And! ...Some general direction in life. On today's journey, the two elves alongside their fairy muscle discover an abandoned tower and a felled hot air balloon. What might they find on the tower's peak...? Who is this "Talavar?" And, more importantly, can our heroes focus long enough to find out??

Hi! I'm the one person in Canada who ordered your Hannibal tarot cards and I just wanted to say that I just got them, they're in perfect shape, and they're so beautiful! So I just thought I'd let you know that there wasn't issues with them, and I love them and I think this is my new favorite tarot card deck that I own ☺️

phew okay THANK YOU for letting me know! was especially worried about your order + one other that went outside of the US because -- besides the greater distance & thus greater chance for losing/damaging the mailer -- the addressing formats are also kinda different?? did not consider that going in. so i really do appreciate your letting me know.

&im so happy to hear you're pleased with them!! <3 thanks for ordering, &for being among the first ever item orders i've physically sent out. :]

#success!!#(ive lowkey been so stressed about this #like what if somehow i sent things out and they were just being sent back to me bc i wrote something wrong or w/e)#like i know it's MAIL it's just MAIL #but i dont really... mail stuff?#everything i do is online pretty much so yknow #new terrain #i get nervous #but what a relief #yay!!! :]#delete later maybe

#delete later #but #lmao omg thanks

at long last my merch shop is open &the first item is up for sale. that is to say...

______

►►►TAROT DECKS ARE READY TO ORDER!!◄◄◄

______

if you’ve been waiting on these or know somebody who has, check out the site above. there will be a total of 30 decks available, so be sure to get your order in if you’re determined to get a set. there may be reprints down the line, but not sure when, &ultimately it depends on a variety of factors (the amount of buyer interest made apparent to me, my own available time & resources, etc.). additionally, please read the section of my site labelled “important” for a basic rundown of shop policies (most of which boil down to “im not Mr.Walmart im just one little guy here so go easy on me alright.”)

the designs have been updated slightly since my original posts - not the central artwork, just the surrounding typography in terms of color & alignment, &in some cases sizing. each deck consists only of the major arcana, making up 22 cards total, the art of which can be viewed here.:

► [1/3] ► [2/3] ► [3/3]

there will also be slight variances to the deck envelopes as the stamps are each individually hand-printed using my carving shown among the images above.

anyway, thanks to those who requested these for all your patience! hope these offerings sate your hunger.

#this seriously took all of my brain power to figure out #there were so many elements i did not compensate for when i was like ''yea sure i can make some cards!!! :-) ''#''So Easy!!!'' (famous last words)#hope the price is okay #wanted to make sure im not just breaking even or making pocket change #talked to some ppl & this seemed like a fair middle ground #im not gonna keep making these so it's technically a limited-time item?#might make one more batch for next yr if i table at moccafest but still debating that lmao #hannibal #will graham #hannibal lecter #jack crawford

Hi! Just wanted to drop in and say that I absolutely love those playlists you made for MP100. I've been jamming to them for the past month and they've helped me discover new songs and rediscover old songs anew. So thank you so much for sharing them!! Take care!

omg thanks, i'm so happy to hear it!! :] really got into making these playlists for myself, since music is a huge personal inspiration, but i also just love sharing my favorite songs+musicians with others &creating a curated music experience... but no one ever tells me if theyve even listened to them lmao. so thank u for letting me know & for tuning in, really glad you’ve been enjoying them &even discovered new tunes to jam to!! :3

#wehehe #happy #what is in my ears is in your ears #(sounds weird when i put it like that i guess.... it's about shared experience tho!!)#also *gets unnecessarily cocky* my music tastes are good B)#((...also-- if more ppl listen to my fav musicians theyll get more money and make more music &then i get more good music wehehe))#ive got like 5 more playlists nearly done cant wait to share em #EXTREMELY different vibe than the mp100 lists tho #(all variations of emo lol)#(but like!! in a fun way!!)#sometimes i worry ppl listen to these lists on shuffle depending on their settings #bc ive established like-- a musical narrative arc with each playlist! it's gotta be in order!#anyway ill shut up #(.............music is cool)

asfgdasgshkfjdgh bro my cards finally arrived &ngl they look pretty sweet.

stay tuned for a shop update, prob next week.... 8)

edit: a little preview...

#wehehe #feeling manic #theyre here!! theyre here!!!!#tarot time #delete later #It Is Happening #changed font color & alignment hope no one minds #got feedback on it & agreed & liking this a lot better #more subtle & classy imo

Hey there! Just sending an ask to ask that in the hopes if you ever post more of your old ASOIAF art to your inprnt, could you post about it here or if there’s a mailing list or something I could sign up for? I would especially love to own a “life is not a song, sweetling” print at some point! It’s one of my favourite pieces. Thank you so much even if you decide not to upload any more to the store — the pieces already there are also great!

thank you so much!! definitely planning to post more in general to the inprnt, though my main focus has been on adding new pieces as i make them. (atm have just been busy on portfolio things. trying to get a whole new career lol.) there are a couple of those older asoiaf works i intend to revise & post there - that one in particular, as well as the stark family before-and-after piece, & probably the fight with brandon too. my initial intention was to do so once the next book came out, so as to inform a new perspective on the revision.... BUT, as we're all well aware, at the rate things are going with grrm’s writing pace, it might...... be a while. so I have been debating just revising them now lmao. (those guys been on my mind recently anyway.)

--that said, would you be less interested if the art were to change somewhat? ideally it would be for the better, though these things are subjective of course. i could always do the revision, and if there's a preference for the original, i could simply post that to the shop as well. (honestly just think i can do better by it now. i've learned a lot since then! but the overall composition of it would remain the same.)

&i don't have any mailing list system at the moment, but since thus far you're the only one who's specifically asked, perhaps I could just msg you personally when it's up? otherwise, when i make revisions i'll definitely be posting the updated version on here once it's done & an addition to my shop will shortly follow. &are there any other particular pieces you're interested in seeing added to the shop and/or revised btw?

#was very proud of that one back then glad ppl still like it... :')#winds of winter who?#maybe some day...#also have playlists im working on for them so i'll be making some album art for my favorite birds #once again i am asking: what is the etiquette on replying to asks publicly or privately?#my thought is that posting publicly will answer for anyone else wondering #but idk if it's too open for the questioner #as always lemme know if it's a problem!#also im thinking of getting a cintiq soon so this revision piece would actually be a great subject to start in with it!#hmmm.... yeah. that's a good idea...#WOW this became a long response! srry im bad at brevity!!
