Designing stuff as a shaky hand person takes so dang long I'm - digital thumbnail design on tablet - sketching details on paper - putting thumbnails and sketches together on the computer - completing image with anchor tool and mouse This is only for one product but man I'm a mess

When a friend calls you at midnight and says "I'm at the Sega store in Tokyo what do you want? Oh and I'm going to Chiikawa Park tomorrow make a list" Actually put me in tears. It's their trip they didn't have to include me and do a haul!

Back in Georgia for Momocon! It feels like it's been a long time since I've been here and it's so nice to be back. Make sure to stop by this weekend to say hi!

It feels like I have been asleep for 3 days straight but I do not have inflammation it's a weird cold

Turns out health getting in the way was an actual cold this time ahaha I'm close to the end of it and will go into concrunch asap

Esquie keychain restock in! I've restocked a small handful of keychains for Momocon while being in the middle of designing a bunch of new ones. As always health is getting in the way but slow progress is still progress.

After this update I slept 11hrs oof. I'm working nights because it's quieter and better for allergies but it's not great for anything else. I'll be working at least one more overnight to get an accessory order ready to start, then it's back to keychain designs.

I'm working on a whole bunch of new keychains and it feels like I'm really slow but I'm also working on like 50 designs at once so it's hard to see any progress. I might just have to get a few done to have them by the next event.

also a reminder that i have penguin stickers for sale: www.etsy.com/listing/1793517761/double-penguin-sticker-sheet-cute i love penguins!!

With the way import shipping costs are I might have to invest in prints for the first time. It'll still be a less upfront investment than bags are and the point is to have something big and visual to bring people to the table to look at the small stuff.

I slept in, ran some errands, then took a 4hr nap. It's 7pm and I have to start the work day DETOUR you hit hard this weekend thank you!!

my small haul from anime detour this weekend!! i love shopping at this con socks & scrunchies from @penguinluvlemon.bsky.social silk tie and washi from @aluhnim.bsky.social otter print from @jadedsketch.bsky.social

Wings are an easy place to put a pattern or accent color which is part of the fun for me to make something, so it's bats again Can't do that with birds. People get very confused about a bird in different colors. Tried making Penguins with diff colors and people would ask where the Penguins were

Would not recommend working on a prototype at 4am. Anyway might make a new bat pattern.

My arms hurt from clutching the wheel driving through that weather but I'm back safe!

Thank you everyone! It was so nice to see people from planet and nebcon! I've been waitlist for Nebraska for the last few years and was waitlisted for planet this year so it was really nice to still be able to hit up this area. I hope to be back!

Also getting nostalgia whiplash from a Violinist of Hameln poster in the vendor room and info dumped for like 12 stories on insta but still forgot to mention the video game

After waitlists, getting off waitlist but sick family, acceptance but other events replied first, etc I'm finally at Naka-kon! I attended 10yrs ago and wanted to come back as an artist because it was such a good time. It was a weird mix of circumstances that kept me away but it's good to be here now

Set up for Artist Alley at table F15 Katsucon 2026! A few things have moved around so signs are easier to read. There are still some free Valentines avalible but they will probably be gone by the end of the day so make sure to stop by!

This is incredibly cheesy but I spent two hrs editing it to try and make sense now it's past 3am so it stays. Want a free Valentine? I'll have a handful of these at my table during Katsucon! Humor me!

Phone did some weird stuff and I'm hoping this is an over dramatic update but interaction and posts might be limited this weekend depending on what happens. Maybe my phone is dying and maybe my phone cover just pushed buttons in a way it shouldn't have which confused it to much, well see soon enough

16 designs shown but there is a 17th which is the snow bun re-run. Please forgive the blur I have shaky hands! I had at least 8 more designs ready to go but couldn't afford more than these. Maybe later this year you'll get to see more?

There was a request to be able to use them and blusky still allows you to save a Jpeg. The previous post and Insta have more info right now. Typical disclaimer of Not for Sale or to be used for profit including for cost or advertisement that may result in profit.

Updates: - continuing to try learning how to use a tablet so I can have time-lapses of work for portfolios. My hands are very shaky and it's been difficult - product orders have been made at a gamble and boy I hope it works out or I'm going to have to cut back immensely

First reminder of the year I am very very very bad at facial recognition and names/labels!! If we have talked and you bought stuff from me and I don't recognize you DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY! I still have trouble with my own family.

🎁☃️ Merry Christmas ❄️🎄 I've been asleep most of the day

I designed and ordered way to many socks. Now idk if they'll be made and shipped in time for next year. Why do I always do this? Make to much of one thing and not enough of others. Someday I'll be good at my job.

Only got 2 of 6 things on the daily goal list done today but traded the 4 things for time spent on a con application and a few hrs researching hotels. Hopefully I can add some of the missed goals onto the next few days and I do really like how the 2 things that did get done turned out

Latest setback was a 2nd out of pocket dentist visit which was more intense than expected and took a few days to not have a headache. I'm glad it's done! I want to work and clean!

It might be 3am but I just got three of ten designs done for one product category after months of not being able to get any design work done because of health and family stuff. My brain isn't letting me do anymore but MAN it was nice to start!

I had 4 events in a row 1 week of a bad cold 1 last event right after and slept almost all day today There's a lot of cleaning to do but will work on custom orders asap! Thank you for supporting me during all this! Most events were small or tiny profit so the kind words and sales were meaningful!

I've been sick with a cold and am almost better but it took time away from prepping what I wanted to have for this weekend. There is more than enough to fill the table, I just wanted to step up and do more. Time to con crunch like crazy!

I need to scrounge up some money for the tax man. Anyone I know want to make me an offer on Luffy here? I’ve had it so long I think it’s literally from episode one.

Here at Twin Cities Con Table L11 I'm in a Ranma 1/2 Stamp Rally this weekend! My prize is the Ukyo sticker. Made a handful of other stickers to help with the $10 purchase for a stamp Come by and say hello!
