Printer Proofs, Zine Fests, and Shop Updates

I have news about printer proofs, zine fests, and shop updates.

While The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 is still going back and forth, volume 2 has been approved for printing! I’m hopeful that this next iteration of volume 1 will be the final draft. Fingers crossed, yo.

I haven’t had time to assemble stickers or draw minicomics because of election stress. Also, I came back from Akron Comicon, which was a huge flop for me. (How hard did it flop? Well I sold so little that I had to turn to mutual aid to help me pay for the electric bill coming due soon.) Unfortunately, I will not be returning to that show for the foreseeable future. 

Speaking of events, this week I will be doing a lot with Queer Zest Zine Fest. So digital reward fulfillment is going to wait until next week.

Speaking of Queer Zest Zine Fest, I’m running a workshop tonight at 5 pm EDT, talking about Tabling at Events for Beginners. More info is on the Workshop page of the official site.

Queer Zest Zine Fest is also allowing me to showcase my work on Thursday at 5 pm EDT and Friday at 4 pm EDT. All 3 of these are on Zoom.

In other news, I updated my Ko-fi page to include some new pocket zines! Be sure to check that out – they’re all $1, plus $1 for shipping. I also have a Big Cartel shop where you can get sweaters, mugs, and notebooks. For the Big Cartel, 10% of all sales will go to TransOhio, an organization advocating and fighting for the rights of trans, nonbinary, intersex, and gender non-conforming people in Ohio.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

Updates and Drawing Marathons!

Time for some updates and a drawing marathon!

This marathon is actually a replay of Saturday’s livestream, which you can watch now. Feel free to turn it on while you do your thing – drawing, chores, whatever you need to do, let this video be your body double.

Spoilers: in the stream there will be cryptids in booty shorts.

Now For Some Updates!

Over on KickStarter, I have updates for backers of Reprinting The Legend of Jamie Roberts. In short – I’m having a back and forth with the printers about the proofs.

Also, this weekend you can find me (along with my buddies Ben Wright-Heuman and Chloe Rose) at Akron Comicon! We’re at table C26 as Fantasyville Productions.

New Works on Ko-fi!

I updated my Ko-fi shop and commissions! There are now new books like Fwishi’shi and New Punk Signal, as well as original art and digital art packs for you to check out.

For commissions, there are two new offerings – one for the more budget-minded and one for the big spenders. $5 can now get you a kitty doodle, while $200 gets you a fully rendered, full-figure character of your choice – in Copic markers! More info on commissions can be found on the Commission Board.

And A New Shop??

That’s right – I’m opening a new shop on BigCartel THIS Friday!

This shop is not like the Ko-fi shop. Instead, it’s a collaboration with Printful – they do the printing, shipping, and handling. All I need to do is design the art going on the products!

The livestream replay shows *two* of the four or five products coming to the shop. Here’s a sneak peek at one of my favorites…

More details are coming this Friday on my email newsletter, so be sure to sign up!

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

Ko-fi Shop and Commissions Are Closed Until November 1

I’m letting you know now that the Ko-fi shop and commissions are closed until November 1.

Why? Because both are getting updates. In the case of the Ko-fi shop, some MAJOR updates. Stuff is getting de-listed, and new listings are coming soon.

There will also be a new shop coming on Big Cartel, where you can buy merch like sweatshirts, mugs, and stationery like notepads, with designs by me!

Why am I using Big Cartel and not something like RedBubble? Especially because Kitties By Kelci is on RedBubble?

Well, because I’m closing my RedBubble shop on December 31, 2024. But that’s for another post.

I’ve also heard good things about BigCartel and Printful – Printful being the print-on-demand service I will be utilizing for the shop. So I want to give them both a try!

Stay tuned for another post coming on November 1. That’s when I’m announcing all the new shop goodness across the board.

That’s all for now. Thank you for tuning in!

You. Are. Awesome.

Find Me at DC Zine Fest!

DC Zine Fest 2024 poster. We see little cartoon robots stacked on top of each other, reading zines and picking flowers. The fest will be at Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Library on October 26 from 11-4. It's free and accessible.

As you’re reading this, I will be on the train coming into DC. Because DC Zine Fest is tomorrow!

If you’re in the area, I hope to see you there! It’s at the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Library from 11 am to 4 pm – also it’s free and accessible to attend.

This Zine Fest will be the in-person debut of New Punk Signal and Fwishi’shi, as well! So if you missed the KickStarter for these books, DC Zine Fest will be a good place to get copies. I will also have copies of my new zines, “Purrmaids,” “The Himbo’s Guide to Cooking Chicken,” and “Witchy Kitties.”

Can’t make it? Missed the KickStarters? That’s ok, there’s a third option for you…

I have not sent out minicomics and mini-prints yet for Ko-fi Club members. If you would like to get these mailed to you, become a member on Ko-fi! Members get minicomice, zines, stickers, and mini-prints mailed to them each month. Even if you can only do one month, that’s ok – cancel at any time, no questions asked.

Ko-fi rewards will be mailed out around Halloween, so you have until then to sign up.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.
