When the hell is my shop opening again?!

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about when my shop is going to open again. Or when i’ll start posting art.

I took two months off and went away to visit my family during the holidays, fully intending to get back to work when i returned this new year. But sadly upon my return i discovered i’ve become physically ill. My dizziness is just a symptom of something more serious (and i’ll find out more at the end of the month).

In the mean time i have to take things slow. I will try my hardest to get the shop open next month with rad prints, stickers, and shirt pre-orders. Doing my best while preparing for 4 gallery shows over the next 2-3 months.

Love you guys, i’ll be back real soon.

Grrreat news! All prints are now in stock! Honestly, i had a little trouble with my printer people. So there are only a few of each (of most of these) in my shop. Plus a few new originals!

Also, i’ve been a bad grrrl. I sneakily and excitedly order a few prints of Darling, what have I done? Actually, you could say i’ve been a very good grrrl. Because i knew you sassy good people would want one. I predicted it and made it happen before you knew to ask!

There are only three in stock. Better grab them out now! Who could seriously resist this rainbow and garden clad vixen?! Should these sell out and the new limited editions sell out, i’ll start offering larger sizes. Art that commands more attention. I mean, you want larger prints right?

Don’t forget, exclusive stickers with every order! ♥

Thank you for the support everyone! It means I get to continue to bring you rad art, and i’m taking it to the next level. You’ll see real soon. ;)

It’s tough being the new girl. </3

albinwonderland asked: I hope that person meant, "IS IT REALLY $100, THAT IS A GREAT DEAL" because it is. People don't realize how much time and effort goes into something like a portrait! If you were charging by the hour, it would probably be much more expensive. Keep on doing the wonderful work darling!

Thank you! ♥ I would hope they mean that too, but I’m not sure. It does take a lot of time and I enjoy doing them. I don’t charge a lower price just because I enjoy drawing.

I’m currently making under minimum wage if you were to tally it up hourly. I fully intend to make a living at what I do, so eventually I will be raising my rate. However It’s enough for right now and i’m thankful people are passionate about my work!
