[NEWSLETTER] - February

 HAPPY FEBRUARY, FRIENDS! Despite being the shortest month of the year, there is SO MUCH going on so let’s dive in!

IN THIS NEWSLETTER:

• CON UPDATES

• FEBRUARY STICKER

• HOURLY COMIC DAY

• ANE WRAP UP

• SHOP DROP

• BIRTHDAY BREATHER

• GENERAL UPDATES

I am SO SO happy to report I was accepted to vend at Anthrocon (Pittsburgh, PA: Jul 3-6)! This update means A LOT for SO MANY things – between my Mom getting to return to another con and something… very, VERY special! Stay tuned for updates as we slowly move toward Summer 2025!

 We actually have a little break before our next event! My next upcoming con will be Texas Furry Fiesta in Dallas, TX between April 10-13! I will be in the Artist Alley all three days and will provide updates on merch and activities a little closer to April.

You just KNOW those little honduran bats are passing valentines back and forth in their leaf canopies. Maybe you’ll gift your monthly sticker to someone special of your own? All Sticker Clubs will go out the door tomorrow – expect to start seeing them turn up in your mailbox next week!

HAPPY HOURLY COMIC DAY, MY WONDERFUL LITTLE GARDEN OF BEANS! I have already shared a mountain of information regarding how to participate in this worldwide event, but if you need a refresher please peek at THIS PAST PATREON POST or check out the Announcements Channel on the Patreon Discord!

Just a reminder – this year I am doing physical rewards for participating! See you OUT THERE!!

It’s time for a quick ANE WRAP UP!

Compared to the chaos of traveling to ANE last year (iykyk), this year’s event was a BREEZE! Incredible people, incredible sales, incredible times! I am very thankful for this community and its ability to grant me stability and so much chaos and fun!

The time has finally come… to put the Stargazer Sweatshirts in my online shop! It’s been up in the air with juggling so many events both local and out of state, but it is FINALLY HAPPENING! But that’s not all – there are a handful more items coming for a proper shop drop!

The Shop Drop will be this FRIDAY, Feb 7th at 10:00AM PST!

The Shop Drop will be on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH and items included will be:

• Stargazer Fan Club Sweatshirt

• Tiger Poppies T-Shirt

• Lil Kitty & Tiger Beanies

• Critter Socks (3 Options!)

• Speak Up! Big Kitty Sticker

• Starcatcher Possum Sticker

• Squash Tiger Sticker

• Sunflower Kitty Sticker

• Tiger Poppies Risograph Print

I’ve managed to run that long marathon around the sun again (man I am good at that!) and it’s time for another birthday! I am not anticipating any traveling this month to enjoy being grounded after back to back cons all winter and I am SO READY for that breather.

Catch me doing my usual traditions – snagging my favorite coffee and a birthday plant and watching a movie! We will see if other forms of chaos emerge (will my tattoo appointment be approved?!) on the special day!

After nearly three months of back to back chaos of cons and work, I am very excited to be home for a little while. I continue to tell people I will be “off” but that really only means I won’t be stepping onto a plane for the next three months. Between ANE wrap up and the fun madness of February, I will be very busy these next few weeks! And on top of that… we are finally digging into a very special community project that I cannot wait to start sharing with you all!

The general of the update? I’m tired! But that just means this slight breather from traveling is coming at just the right time! Very excited to be working on new merch that isn’t directly fueled by a convention timeline and to spend more time with Lil Kitty and my friends!

But as always, you will all be along for so much of that ride. I can’t wait!

MWAH MWAH MWAH MY DARLINGS!!!
