I hope your month has been full of springtime wonder and joy. Have you been searching for the blooming cherry blossoms and flowers? πΈ
This month I have been finding myself needing to stop and smell the flowers. Taking it slow and rediscovering a new joy in art after a near burnout. I had to pause chapter 4 of "The Elements of Luna" due to that near burnout. I was advised to try something new and I went back to watercolor painting! With the weather getting warmer, I will more likely continue for illustration to enjoy the season after the cold winter months.
I am also in the middle of making new changes to how I run my online stores. A lot of changes are coming and I am excited to share when it's all done!
Closing Gumroad.
After several years being on Gumroad, I found their creator fees are too high and what I've learned from customers is that the site was too confusing, along with a very confusing UI. So, I'm closing shop and moving elsewhere where it's more creator friendly. Thankfully you don't need to search far, I have prepped for the move to make it easy for everyone to find me.
This month I have been accepted into VGen! An artist marketplace that helps human artists like myself to sell our works and open art commissions in a safe haven from AI. I will be moving my comics, YCH commissions, adoptables, coloring pages, and more into VGen this spring. πΈ
All patrons get early access to everything I create, including a % off discount on art commissions that can be used directly to me by Google Forms, email, or through VGen and Ko-Fi when commissions open. Like Patreon, Ko-Fi also has a monthly membership feature and will be used in the same way. Be sure to choose only one for subscription.
Some works may take up to two months or there may be a delay due to personal life. Patreon and Ko-Fi subscriptions run on a monthly/bimonthly basis.
Ko-Fi is a tip jar, membership, and an online store! Like Patreon, I also use it to share my illustrations and sell my books, commissions, and more. Along with posting blogs on both Ko-Fi and Patron on comics and artist life.
Decorate your walls with my whimsical art! Patrons get direct access to new prints as part of their early access for the monthly/bimonthly rewards. One week after early releases for patrons on Ko-Fi and Patreon, the artwork is public on InPrnt to sell as physical art prints.
Everything is also found on my link tree. Art portfolio website, social media, shops and more in easy access. You can follow me on Instagram, BlueSky, and YouTube there.
As one door closes, a new one will open. I hope to see you soon! π
Do you hear that? The birds are singing, spring is here.
