Hello, friends and patrons! π I will shortly be on my way to Pittsburgh for Anthrocon - hope to see some of you there! I'm super excited about the spread I'll have as well as the amount and types of art assets I've contributed to the con's visual character this year. You'll definitely see my work around if you're attending!
In the Dealer room during open hours, you can find me at table F20, which is easily accessible close to the main entrance! I'll have the newly returned honeybee bugdanas in brown-on-yellow and metallic gold-on-black along with brand new "infinipede" stickers, lots of pins, posters, prints, and more! There will also be a very limited number of signed Mothboy Monthly contributor copies available at my table while supplies last - though if supplies run out, you can talk to my friend at F19. I'm seated next to the editor, and he'll have more!
I've been posting some of my new originals for the art show over the weekend, but in case you haven't seen them, I'd like to also share them here! These will all be available for bidding, though if any don't find homes at the convention, they'll be up in my shop once I return.
First up is "Warm Coffee II" in ink, watercolor, and iridescent gold acrylic:

"Little Golden Leaves" is an itty-bitty original in ink and iridescent gold acrylic. I love making tiny ones when I can get the right size frame, as they're both very portable for traveling home and very affordable for folks watching their budget:

"Quiet Marvels" is my newest ink nature drawing, 5x7".

Finally, "Starry Reflections" is an oval-cut piece in ink and watercolor with iridescent "interference" paint for some of the stars, giving it a subtle sparkle!

Patrons will, of course, get closer looks at WIPs and process in the upcoming monthly review. (It may be slightly delayed since I'll need to write it after AC - thanks for bearing with me!)
Please come say hi and check out all my work if you're attending Anthrocon this year! Once I'm home, remaining stock from new items will go live in my shop upon reopen, and I'll have any unsold originals available as well. Spending time on these new pieces was really refreshing, and while I'll be taking new commission work at the con, I hope to make more time going forward for original projects as well - which is why I'll finally be revealing my plans for the Patreon revamp in July. Thank you so much for your attention and support! I'll have plenty to share from the event on social media and when I return!
