Spring is usually con season for me, but this year’s a little different. To make up for not getting to see people in person, I’m offering FREE SHIPPING to all Canadian customers over on my Etsy shop!

Hello, just wondering: are you planning to continue your comic "Heartless" in the future? I just discovered it. I am ace myself and really liked the "heartless" idea and the protagonist's overall character arc.

Thanks for getting in touch!

The original Heartless story is now finished, but I definitely have ideas for sequels! I have an outline for a “book 2″ written, but I can’t make any promises about when I might have time to work on it.

I’ve finally added a lapel pins section to my shop! Currently, shipping is only set up for the US and Canada, but let me know if you need it calculated for your country too :)

I’ve finally listed my new vinyl stickers on Etsy, so they can be picked up online as well as in-person at shows :)

You can find the in-stock selection at https://www.etsy.com/shop/sweetingenuity?section_id=18181891

I do monthly sketch requests for $3+ Patrons on my Patreon. I don’t have all that many patrons, so the odds are pretty good for everyone, and I’ll sometimes do extra doodles too ;)

Right now I’m really into watercolours, so I’m doing some of my requests that way.

From @name_complex on Twitter; some additional comments in the thread.

Some good (though sad that it’s necessary) advice, given a few recent stories of artist alley thefts. From my time in retail, I’d also recommend doing “drops” throughout the day; during slow periods, remove most of the large bills from wherever you keep your cash and transfer them to someplace more secure and difficult to reach, like a bag you’re keeping at your feet or under the table. Same principle as tip #4, but the extra frequency can be useful for big cons AND useful in keeping your float organized (a bundle of $20s is hard to sort through for the $5s you need to make change!)

I’ve updated my Patreon URL! If you’re interested in Downloadable Art Things and even monthly custom sketches, please check out my campaign here :) Most rewards are available for only $1 a month.

I’ve been drawing a lot of Overwatch stuff lately, and I’ve finally put together a youtube playlist with all the process videos :)

I’m also uploading these gradually to my redbubble, as stickers and other nonsense :)

[sweetingenuityart]

I’ve now got all four of these listed in my shop’s printables section, for maximum cheesy nerdy Valentine’s goodness. Each file is $2 CAD (so like $1.60 US ATM) and you can make as many as you want with your own home printer :)

[sweetingenuityart]

Something drawn for the Aesthetic, and just for fun. Check out the process video on my channel:

February is almost here, so my Valentine’s Day card production is at full speed. Here’s some glamour shots of a few of my favourites, with a Dungeons and Dragons theme :)

I’ll be sharing a booth with Stone Cold Creations at Ottawa Comiccon Holiday Edition this weekend! Admission is free, so I hope you’ll stop by and say hi if you’re in the area :)

[sweetingenuityart]

These two new colouring page/holiday card designs are now available in my Etsy shop, or free to all my Patreon patrons!
