#studio update

[jbbartram-illu]

My cousin & her husband dropped by today with a lovely new addition to my studio - a desk/shelf that was made by our grandfather (who I sadly never got to meet, but I like having things he made in my house!).

It truly feels like the puzzle piece that was missing from this space - the shelves are nice & deep & will fit tons of drying/in-progress pottery, and the sturdy desk bit will be so good for rolling out slabs for my mugs.

Also, the drawers fit SO MUCH? I hucked a bunch of tools/pottery supplies in there & there's still a ton of room in both of them (neither is pulled out all the way in these photos)!

Finally, in one of those serendipitous circumstances, the veneer of the new desk matches the veneer of my 1930s cabinet I got last year *perfectly*?!?! Wild!!

It’s Zelgan Week eve! Are you excited? We are!

…and though we are a shy rat, we have a couple promotions running through the end of the month in celebration, and in thanks to the ZelGan and LoZ Communities that mean so much to me.

First, we have created two bundle boxes specifically for this joyous occasion. The graphic above shows some details of the Big Box but also…

There’s a ton of goodies in the Big Box, which by bundling in this handy box nets you a nice little discount on:

3 comics : Demons, SoME volume 1 and volume 2

3 folios of 1” ministickers : 30 designs each for Power, Wisdom, and Courage

15 Limited Edition, signed and numbered 5x7 prints

There is a shipping setting at checkout specifically for this box, anywhere in the US by USPS Ground, tracked & insured (please email me for international quotes, shipping across borders has as you know grown significantly more complicated.)

I also made a Medium Box which contains:

3 comics : Demons, SoME volume 1 and volume 2

3 folios of 1” ministickers : 30 designs each for Power, Wisdom, and Courage

5 Limited Edition, signed and numbered 5x7 prints

There is a shipping setting at checkout specifically for this box, anywhere in the US by USPS Ground, tracked & insured (please email me for international quotes, shipping across borders has as you know grown significantly more complicated.)

And! I am also running a sale on select original works in stash (chosen largely by how easily they fit a Large Flat Priority mail box…) in the ZW Studio Sale Category.

Starting on day 1 of Zelgan Week

And running through the end of the month

use the code ZelGanWeek25 for 60% off any original works in the ZW Studio Sale category

Please help me make space in my studio for more shenanigans!

There is a special shipping type set up at checkout for any flat art 11x14 or under to make that process easier (two canvasses or about 6 illo boards will fit comfortably in one box

Please email me at studioratproductions at the gmail if you need an international quote - I may not have an exact figure until next week as I am traveling much of this week!

Thanks for all your support, and as always, signalboosting is greatly appreciated!

See you tomorrow with @zelgan-week day 1 for lots of new ZelGan-y goodies to feast on.

New (empty) studio - moving in this weekend!

SO !! The demon Cricut machine has decided to break after only 1.2 yrs of use which is not Surprising since its given me huge problems since day 1. The sensor scanner has become dislodged & I don't have enough technical expertise to take apart the machine, rewire the piece and put it back together like those dudes in that Reddit thread I found while troubleshooting.

GOOD NEWS is that past Climb was smart and got the warranty & my warranty company is covering the cost of a new machine so I can get back to printing asap. I should be able to get a new machine by end of today / tomorrow & work on getting caught up with orders. I'm working through a ton of post-holiday emails as well but I should get everyone caught up by today

tldr; technical difficulties sticker orders will be slightly delayed love u mwah

We have been busy!! Taking care of the new kitties, prepping for a weekend event on the property, treating the house for fleas (it's not a bad infestation and we're on top of it but still annoying), and helping organize a small art fair in town next-next weekend... I have not been in the studio much! That's okay, it's good to take breaks. After the hullabaloo has settled I'll have all of September to dick around with art. Until then, expect a couple new pieces dropping soon and some new merch in the store.
