#launchweek

What's up Bloodlings? I'm about to take my own advice and "wine" down for the night with a good book. It's the end of my #launchweek so I think I deserve it. Or, maybe I'll take some inspiration from this wine jar and write some #CoB stories for #nanowrimo . We'll see. What about y'all? What do y'all like to do on Friday nights? https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckj916zsq6U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝙏𝙃𝙍𝙀𝙀 𝘿𝘼𝙔𝙎 𝙐𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙇 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃 🖤🎉 Wow! I can’t believe launch is so close 😮 The lovely @melissamaryjenkinsart found some errors while proofreading—thank god I didn’t publish it as is! Making final edits now ✍️ I recently created a Pinterest account where you can go for TDWD aesthetics, writing tips, and more! I also made a playlist of songs that suit The Day We Die 🎶 Both links in bio 🙂 And I just got back from an author photoshoot—thanks to @daniellearnoldphotography for the lovely pics and @salon.nine for making my hair look so good 😊 “The Day We Die is an enthralling emotional adventure. The novel begins with Tessa’s haunting trauma and her passionate determination to repay the gift of life that she received. We sink into Tessa’s world where home and family is an antiquated concept, where love is replaced by duty and life expectancy is in the manipulating hands of the government. Despite Tessa’s emotional wounding as a child, she is resilient, determined to do the right thing and wholly and frustratingly selfless: “Life is a gift I can’t waste.” Despite the ever-present threat of death in this futuristic society, Tessa stubbornly refuses to give in to her teetering mental health, her self loathing or her Civic-mandated demise. The plot dances along with emotional intensity, adventurous twists and devastating destruction. Tessa’s poignant description of her first exposure to the natural world is sublime, and her discovery of true friendship unabashedly touching. The reader is left cherishing both the sweetness of adolescent love and the depth of their emotionally charged beliefs. Finally, The Day We Die challenges the reader to ultimately contemplate how the future will be shaped by our current priorities. This debut novel is reminiscent of the adventure in The Hunger Games, the post-apocalyptic thrills of Divergent and the raw intensity of A Fault in Our Stars.” - @melissamaryjenkinsart Thank you so much Mel for these gorgeous words! #launchweek #booklaunch #bookrelease #bookrecommendations #bookreview #review #bookreviewerslife #reviewproduct #mustread #divergent #hungergames #tfios #thefaultinourstars #thankyou #bookish #dystopia https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-WxnILWDh/?utm_medium=tumblr

WE'RE IN ☆ welcome to the end of launch week and the beginning of Me Doing Things on the Internet. thank you SO MUCH for supporting me and this, I see you, and it means a whole lot to me that of all the things you could be doing you spend time looking at and clicking on things I've made. Here's a brand new shiny place to do that if you're interested! jump on over to patreon.com/deathhairball (link through deathhairball.com if that's easier, on the shop page) and have a nose, I'm really excited to be able to share this with you. Prices are in USD because of The Internet, but check what's on offer, there's some cool shit coming if I say so myself. I'm working on a couple of sketchbook tour posts that will go up in the next day or two. I never share my sketchbook stuff with anyone. 👀 AND every single person who signs up this month gets an original art thing by/from me (delivered digitally because covid) and I will embroider your name on my jacket. There is a patch tier which I'm fucking excited about, if you jump on that I will mail you a patron-exclusive (in either design or execution) patch Every Goddamn Month. Those of you who've been with me a while might remember many rambles about vulnerability and process and attempts to post more in-progress stuff instead of just nice finished things, and then I sorta disappeared? That was the depression and some life stuff, but fuck we're back in force now. Instagram will stay as it has been coz despite crowing about vulnerability I feel weird writing such long captions, insta feels like more of a visual place. patreon lends itself better to multimedia blog type stuff, which is def more my scene look at this fucking caption. thank you so much for reading. I love ya. This feels like a new journey and I'm hyped. Thank you for being here. x || #patreon #newpatreon #launchweek #theend #thebeginning #fuckit #indigenousartist #māoriartist #takatāpuiartist #irakoreartist #niueanartist #graphicdesigner #māoridesigner #indigenouscreators #imouttahashtagenergy (at Dunedin, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCIcR7yj36c/?igshid=6cl67fq8lsjs

THE SHOP IS LIVE || I'm adding a couple more products over the coming days, and there will be more as soon as I can afford @bigcartel 's monthly fees (which you can help me out with by buying cool shit from here or the next two day's worth of places) 🖤 will be linking everything to/from my website literally now after I post this, everything is In Progress always. I'm so excited to add more here and show y'all what else I've been working on. As always, pay the social media illusions no heed, I'm trying to make all this sound great right now but I am hilariously off schedule and just doing what I can when I can. And that's okay. Do what you can when you can, make your unconscious biases and behaviours conscious so you can suss out what to keep and what to leave, take a fucking break and breathe. I love ya x || #shoplaunch #launchweek #newshop #patches #wedidit #lookslikewemadeit #socialpiranha #hangedman #yeshomo #indigenousowned #indigenousoperated #reuse #māoriartist #takatāpuiartist #irakoreartist #niueanartist #graphicdesigner #handmade #bigcartel #whatsatimeline #whowouldibeifididthingswhenisaid #thanksforyourpatience #andyourcontinuedattention #smallbusiness #smallbusinessaotearoa #blackandwhite #rainbowparacord #thefirstbatchofyeshomopatchesaremadefrommyoldjeans #woop #moresoon (at Dunedin, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCDLvksJqdI/?igshid=wqn7t28q5t3z
