The Art of Madness

We've done it, we hit the 200 follower milestone on my Pintopia pre-launch campaign! Thank you so much!! 🎉💚

As promised, about the robot in the banner: Meet the Earth Line’s ambassador, Byte! This wolf pup model is meant to be a recreational companion, but Byte enforces relaxation a bit aggressively. Spend too long working on an assignment? Byte will literally enact the My Dog Ate My Homework trope to get you to stop and play with her!

The series is called Short Circuit as each them don't function quite as intended, but they put their whole mechanical hearts into their tasks regardless!

Critters and comrades, I come bearing exciting news:

✨ The pre-launch page for the campaign to produce my Short Circuit designs as enamel pins is now LIVE! ✨

This has been a long time coming, so if you enjoy these designs and would like to see them produced in pin form, please give the campaign a follow. Pass it around and ask friends to do the same! Any and all eyeballs will boost its chance of success immensely.

More public teasers are coming soon, but you can expect funding goals for at least 12 Printed Circuit Board inspired designs: 4 green (earth), 4 orange (fire), and 4 blue (water). Depending on the level of interest before and during the campaign...maybe more!

You'll also note the little wolf pup robot in the banner - that's Byte, Short Circuit's mascot! She's a feisty lil guy that corresponds to my "Byte Me" snarling wolf board design. Additional robot companions are in the works for each set of boards, and there will be stickers and other goodies featuring each, also depending on the campaign's success -- I'll introduce each of them everywhere that I upload my artwork soon!

Existential -- Anxiety

Acrylic paintings - Poscas and Royal Talens - on tiny stretched canvas. 3 x 3 inches (7.62 x 7.62 cm) with "gallery" edges that aren't just bleed, but an intentional extension of the pieces.

If you're also the sort of person who grew up making heart eyes at Data, spent a bit too long staring at Sorayama's airbrush work in magazines, or found The Machine to be a more compelling character on Person of Interest than most of the humans: I gotchu.

One of the orders I packed this past Wednesday - not only do I have my first run of the Short Circuit series listed, but a number of pride stickers and buttons as well 🌈🐾

When you purchase from me, you're supporting a small artist who moved across the ocean to live her most authentic queer life! Finances and everything else are a bit scary right now, but it's worth it.

My store is now officially OPEN on Ko-fi! 🎉🐺

Monthly Ko-fi reward for Mehndi featuring Sunspot playing in a pile of crunchy autumn leaves!

My "Monthly Doodle/Speedpaint" tier on Ko-fi continues to be the more affordable way to get custom artwork from me, and I still have slots remaining!
