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!

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.

Last Day for the Limited Edition Rewards!

Today is the last day to claim some of these limited edition rewards and add-ons through Reprinting The Legend of Jamie Roberts’ Kickstarter! If you need a breakdown of which rewards are expiring today, I wrote up a Kickstarter update that goes into more depth. (That post was published on the 11th, but the rewards expire today).

The patron-exclusive mini-print for the KickStarter is still a work in progress, but we’re getting there! Here’s a preview of that…

a sketch of Jamie Roberts, a genderqueer pirate, stands on the wood beams off the mast of a ship. They have a smile on their face and a sword in their hand as their coat flaps in the wind

Ko-fi supporters will get the final render of this as a mini-print included with their Kickstarter Rewards when they back the campaign.

For Folks Who Backed New Punk Signal and Fwishi’shi…

Your rewards will be sent out either today or tomorrow! I tried to get UPS to pick up the packages from my place on Saturday, but UPS never came. 🙃 Once rewards are shipped, keep an eye on your inboxes for the tracking numbers. 

But for the folks who backed that campaign and have not backed Reprinting The Legend of Jamie Roberts yet… I will include this art in your rewards if you do.

Once again, today is the LAST DAY to claim the limited edition rewards on Reprinting The Legend of Jamie Roberts’ KickStarter! The campaign itself ends October 21st, but today is the last day for the limited edition stuff. So head on over to the campaign and check it out! 

If you’re broke, share the news far and wide with the link tinyurl.com/tlojr-reprint yo. 

That’s all for now. Thank you for your support! 

You. Are. Awesome.
