Welcome back for another Gooeycandy Newsletter, where you get up to date with ALL things gooeycandy! Let's dive right in!

Barapalooza was a blast! I'll tell you all about it in the "About The Artist" segment, but for now, here's the looooong awaited MASSIVE shop update!!

Here's what new in my shop!

• New Trading Card! Milo - Kings of Galar has been added to my shop!

With this trading card, we're up to a total of 12, with more on the horizon! 😉 Thanks for being so patient with this one, you guys! I'll give the card it's own post sometime this week with the full resolution versions of the illustration + alts!

• New Prints! Milo's Milk Farm and Ganondorf have been added as prints! Both have alt versions as well!

• New Enamel Pins!

  • Guzma's Pit and Horny! Enamel Pins are now available!

  

  • Nice Cock ~Interactive~ Pins have been added to my shop! The dick on these pins has a spring attached so it bounces when you touch it! Available in "Tan" & "Dark" skin versions!

  

• New Keychains! Something a little different. These safe-for-work keychains I designed a while back of Professor Turo and Professor Sada! They are double-sided with their A.I. counterparts on the other side as well as cracked glass holofoil!

  

  I don't think I intend to do super SFW stuff very often, but if this is popular at all, maybe I'll consider it. Also look I drew a pretty laaaaady for once~

• New Stickers!

  • 4 characters have been added to the "Torso Series" of stickers, including Flynn Rider, Hercules, Tarzan and Bolin!

  

  • Nice Cock! stickers to match the new pins have been added (available in "Tan" and "Dark" skin versions!)

    

  • GayBoy Advance and F.B.I. (Fat Bulge Inspector) stickers have also been added!

  • The Gooey Grid Stickersheet has been added to my shop! It's a collection of 12 square stickers meant to resemble a Grindr grid!

  • Turo and Sada stickers (Normal & AI versions) to match the keychains have also been added!

❔ Questions For You!

How are you celebrating Pride Month?

Where I'm from, it's way too hot to celebrate in June so we wait for October, but don't worry I'm being gay anyway!

This section focuses on my personal life & stories, so if that's not your cup of tea, feel free to skip this segment!

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO, the Barapalooza dump you've all been waiting for!

Barapalooza was such a treat from start to finish. I had so many nerves surrounding this trip, ever since I was invited to be a guest 8 months ago! With the distasteful way the US has been treating Mexico, I was paranoid about all kinds of issues trying to get myself and my art over there. On top of that, it was my first time leaving the country, and I hate to admit, I've lost most of my Spanish over the years (even though I was bilingual as a baby!)

By the way here's some promo art I did of Candy on vacation for Barapalooza that I can finally post! Since I had some left over after the con, it's available as a free sticker in my shop with every order for a limited time!

This convention took months of hard work, designing new merch, preparing bulk stock in advance, creating a set up that can be transported and built easily, the list goes on. All of it was worth it to see beautiful Mexico. Culture oozes out of every corner of Mexico City. Wandering the streets was like a fair, every block had unique little shops and restaurants and gorgeous street art. I was so mesmerized I didn't take nearly enough pictures. The food was insane - huge portions and REALLY well seasoned! Also every single person I met was nice! EVERYONE!! I really can't wait to go back!

On top of the beauty of the land and city, the men in Mexico... my god. I got whiplash every time I stepped out of my hotel room.

The convention itself was a dream come true as well. I met so many cool artists (shout out to finally meeting some of my biggest inspos, Absolum & H_toast!!) and honestly felt so welcomed and happy getting to meet people who love Bara art the way I do! Signing so many prints and getting adorable gifts from people also made me feel so special, and I really can't put into words how wild it felt.

Here was my final set up! If you have questions about how I did anything feel free to ask! The Candy cardboard cutout (with magnetic dick and clothes) that I worked very very hard on only lasted like 1 hour cause he fell and got crumpled 😭 but you live and you learn!

After the first day, I hit the bar with some friends, and didn't realize just how seriously they take drinking in Mexico cause...Day 2 I ended up with the worst hangover of my life lmaoooo. I lived but unforutnately I did have to leave a bit early the second day to uhh... be very sick and sit in fetal position in the hot shower. I only wish I could've participated in more of the fun things the event had to offer. But it was a work trip after all! I think next year, I'd love to go just as a visitor!

Anyway, here's the haul! If you see anything that piques your interest, I can try to track down the artist for you!!

Thank you all for being so patient with me while I prepared for this. It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment to be a guest & Barapadrino, and I feel incredibly honored to have people who enjoy my art so much! So thank you!!
