For this month's rewards we're keeping up on doing stickers! There's something really rejuvenating about turning art that I make throughout the month into stickers sooner than force myself to create a theme. Less thematic, far more meaningful imo. I'm sad I cant afford to do keychains anymore, but that means we're going to have a lot of fun with stickers and experimenting!
I still want to do the $36 Dragon tier for the club, at this point its 100% sticker club, would y'all just want more stickers? :0
What do these stickers mean and why did I make them?
"It shouldn't have to affect you for you to care" This one on a surface level, is self explanatory. It's the nature of empathy. The fact that we can take notice and interest in anything other than ourselves is an ingrained trait, but the will to act on it is one we must cultivate. The willingness to acknowledge, comfort or even intervene is what makes our actions meaningful, and in some ways, gives our interactions with others purpose. This image was recently stolen by someone and ran through AI, it's quite literally all over the internet, being sold on hundreds of websites far outside of my control. but one criticism I had been given was my art looked "rough and unrefined." Which is intentional, and ironically a personal response to AI, showing the imperfection as inherently human. A crayola pencil to signify that empathy is such a basic concept, even a children posses it. In light of the political climate this piece has hundreds of applications within human connection and I'm very proud of it.
"I know there is good in the world, if I cannot find it I will make it." Because of the amount of terrible things going on, it can feel very selfish to take any time for yourself, or to focus on your own world. We put so much of ourselves out emotionally, that we often feel guilty for being happy when others are suffering. I once heard the phrase "Those that can make light, please make extra." I think about how hard it is not being able to impact the world in ways that would truly save someone, but sometimes people tell me my art makes them happy when they're feeling down or makes them feel seen in a new way. I'm striving to take meaning in those interactions, because I want to make people feel happy or cathartic or help them process emotions. Even with silly art that at a glance might not even be that deep, but it can mean a lot to someone, and that make's me happy.
"Puppygirl yuri/ Catboy yaoi/ Polybunny" This one was just straight up funny, that's about it.
June Rewards go out today!
We received the stickers at the anthrocon hotel. We had a record number of sign ups last month!! So this is taking me a bit to package them and make sure everyone gets the correct month (I have to catalog all of it by hand lol) Thanks for the patience, y'all will love these I know it!
If you are missing May rewards at this point please contact me! If you do not recieve June rewards by July 20th, please contact me!
Pupsuit Fall Batch!
We're gearing up for fall pupsuits as the last batch are being completed and sent to their new homes! With Anthrocon no longer weighing on us, things should go a lot smoother this time!
Premades: $2000 + shipping. and include a head, paws, and tail.
Customs: We will have 3 custom slots available at auction. This is a ladder auction with a few add-ons like custom collars and arm sleeves. The buyout price is 5k. The auction will start early for patrons (July 31st) and end August 5th.
Extra info: We have actually sourced a new type of neoprene to work with that we're really excited for! We have adjusted the head base slightly to have slightly rounder cheeks and are printing the test head now. We're considering if we want to have real rivets in the head or just keep them printed. (i think the look would be so nice, so we will try it on the first premade) the "X" marking on the forehead is something that will be present across all of our pupsuits, as our own personal touch. As more pupsuits will start popping up by different makers, we want to have our own look to them!
Shop Update
Shop will open early for y'all and have all of our new shirts and stickers available for sale. We have limited stock of everything (4 of each size of each shirt) so if theres anything you're interested in getting, I'd get it early!
Sticker club member exclusive discount code has been sent with June stickers!
Personal life updates
While I wasn't burnt out by any means, the events of the last few weeks definitely revealed that I;m very easily overstimulated. Perhaps its bc of my new meds, so I had to take 3 days straight of not being on my phone very much at all. I kind of just shut down. (i did get to watch Kpop demon hunters and that's taken over my life)
The support has been overwhelmingly positive, and the response from the pupsuits had my dms flooded for days. It's nice, but I just wasn't expecting it at all. And Convention prep always is very hard on me because its basically 2 weeks of crazy shifts.
I have a charity event I want to do during Christmas with the pupsuits. I wanted to last year but didnt have time. if we don't get into MFF then we'll be able to this year! Regardless I'll have something planned for next Pride month

Simple Nicks
Hey! I still have to make the newsletter, but I’m waiting on them to arrive, we bundled it with a big restock so it’s taking longer than expected. They should go out the 19th since I believe they’ll get there the 18th. August stickers are still being drew in but I’ll have the wip on the newsletter also! Sorry I’m just way behind
