How to Finish

I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.

Been a LOOOOONG time since I have been on Tumblr. But this is why, I was busy supervising this doof for Klaus. Gonna post a bunch of my work from him on here so stay tuned!

I wanted to do something for Asexual Awareness Week. Wanted to show appreciation by posing with the two characters that have grown with me over the years: Syre and Tyberius. They are an asexual couple who have had ups and downs and are completely comfortable with one another through a very close friendship. I have other ace characters but I wanted to showcase these two more since they have a very special place in my heart. 

I’ve identified as ace/aro for most of my life. I didn’t really understand what it was until recently when I heard the term asexual. For the longest time I felt weird and out of place among all my friends, who were experiencing romantic and sexual attraction, and I wasn’t. I was never interested in a relationships and  anytime someone showed that interest I would get really uncomfortable and uneasy. How people would always tell me “You just haven’t met the right person yet,” or “You’re a late bloomer, you’ll change your mind.”

Now I understand what it means to be ace/aro, that I can love platonically and that’s okay. Friendships are more special to me than romance or sex. That I don’t find people attractive in the slightest. Coming out to my parents was a little hard since they didn’t understand what it was (and they still don’t). But my parents show their support the best way they can and I am also surrounded by positive people who I can call friends. Friends that respect me and my orientation. So I thank you friends (you know who you are :D). I love you guys with all my little heart and in my own special way.

One of the things that disappointed me in TROS was the retconning of Rey’s parentage, but I also can’t deny that it’s very funny if you think about it. XD

hey i really think y’all should watch this

Mmm... this one would be interesting in a cult store such as this 🤔

It’s finally over. Selling at Indy Pop Con was a good learning experience for me and I plan on doing cons and other shows in the future. Some tips I learned would be to bite the bullet and sell Pokemon that are very popular. (I sold the Volcarona, Milotic and Gyarados lines. While I love those pieces, they didn’t sell all that well.) Make large signs so people can spot smaller artwork from further away. (I feel I lost some sales due to the placement and smallness of my prints for the Wings of Fire dragons. That and Saron’s prints attracted the eyes, not mine. Dana’s plushies also brought in a lot of eyes.) I’ll be making an etsy and redbubble soon as those will be ways to start getting my art out for sale online. We were both often asked if we had them. Commissions are also on the near horizon. Make keychains and stickers options for purchase at cons. My art in particular fits both of those formats really well imo.

I thought I’d upload some pictures of @the-lady-saron ‘s , @danawoodcg and my booth. Also, have a picture of me posing with these two fantastic cosplayers. (2B and a fabulous desert machine.) (OMG I’m not actually a black and white cat!? Gasp!)

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.
