The satisfaction of FINALLY figuring it out is integral to the process!
The best thinking is done with extremely silly doodles and you canβt convince me otherwise
Various tattoo flash of llittle doodly gnomes doing different nonsense. One is being whisked away by a dandelion puff. One is a thirst trap showing off its ass? Another is contentedly hanging out in a pint of beer. Another gnome is watering a tulip as tall as he is. There is yet another gnome taking a nap under a flower. Finally: a gnome drinking a cup of coffee as large as his own body
new gnome flash offerings (an excuse for me to draw smooth brain doodle guys)
And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. πThis is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.
If youβre at #eccc please donβt forget to come to the Basement! A lot of people seem to think thereβs only Funko pops and long box comics and blind boxes, but they moved a bunch of indie artists down here too! Donβt miss out!!

Have they secretly been slug centaurs all along?

3 dye cut stickers. One has a huge backpack laden with accessories with a pair of sexy legs in hiking boots poking out from the bottom that says in glittery text βbaby got pack.β Another sticker has a hand holding a collection of glittery berries that says βI hike for free snacks.β Another sticker is what can be best described as a taco made out of a log, with fixings of moss, mushrooms and ferns, that says βlive moss.β
GORPcore stickers for GORPcore people (me) Glittery vinyl that will hold up to being banged around on your Nalgene or smartwater, iykyk

Hello, I am still looking for BG Design or Paint work in the animation industry! βοΈ
katlyons.co
Happy to say I got into VanCAF, and I will do my damnedest to NOT get sick this time
Itβs likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least
$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.
The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you donβt got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.
Text reads: Oh no! I was supposed to be at ECCC but instead I caught the flu! So it's time for a huge shop drop. There's also a doodle of me laying in bed. A collage of various risograph prints, stickers, and a book fill the page.
Folks, I caught the flu this week and won't be able to make it to ECCC. I've just dropped a bunch of new/con exclusive stuff on my online shop to help make up for the loss, and you can get 15% off til 3/15 if you use the code "BOOFLU"

Shares greatly appreciated!
I canβt deny I am not sad about missing that part at all
Thank you Cat π₯² I hope you have a great ECCC!
Cons are enough of a disease vector without me there to spread the flu π I doubt Iβd be able to stay upright for all 4 days anyhow. Thanks for sharing!

I'm working on updating my shop today so I can hold a sale to maybe recoup some of the cost I sunk into ECCC π«
Second day of just drinking Better than Bouillon No Chicken straight from a mug but I am finally upright again! I do not recommend the flu
Everyone be nice to my friends and colleagues at ECCC and buy all of their stuff. Why support big business when you can become an art collector on the cheap? Artist Alley is where stars are on the rise.
Oop ok actually it was the flu all along π aaah
I have had a long and weird journey with chronic pain & my mental health which is incidentally something I have been wanting to draw a comic about ha
PS when I say βphysically illβ I mean every sensation in my body becomes painful and I withdraw because I just HURT everywhere - Iβve done enough therapy and PT to know that itβs psychosomatic and passes after the stressful event, but that doesnβt make it hurt less >:( itβs dumb
If it was a 3 day con I think I would be able to stomach it, itβs just too much for me as it is
I also would love to focus more on zines & short comics this year instead of prints so I can get into something like Short Run or SPX
I think this will probably be the last year (for a while at least) that I go to ECCC. The lead up to these giant fan conventions makes me physically ill with stress and I feel like I have a much better time at smaller cons like VanCAF and CALA!

Charge On. Something to celebrate year of the fire horse
An English shepherd! I thought it was a border collie too
