Over the past few months, I’ve been doing a small amount of conventions since it’s only the beginning of the year. It’s been rougher than I wanted because I’ve been more unorganized compared to my previous years.
Conventions of Winter

I’ve outgrown my old Etsy store, so I’ll be sun-setting that store, as I add more of my convention items to my home base. For now, let me show you my newest set of stickers!

The winter convention roll went well, with February packed with plenty of shows! Some shows are tapering off due to rejections from larger ones I’ve applied to.
But, I do my best with what I have, and I’m meeting up with fans who’ve seen me around the block enough times to know my name! Spring Conventions are rolling out, so here’s the shows and events I’ll be tabling at for the coming months!!

These are the daily sketches I post on my social accounts as fuzzy phone pictures. When I get the time, I scan them and edit the pictures for clarity or future coloring. Being honest with myself, these end up just being in my computer files and then abandoned as it’s hard to finish art when I hate the coloring process.
