30 Girls in 30 Days Book Pre-Orders! Yeah!
Books will be about 6” x 9” and will (most likely) be saddle stitched/stapled with all 30 drawings (i substituted #9 though hah i cheat) in full color. So, do you want one? Fucking tell me then. In fact, tell me on this nifty, and yet still somewhat visibly showing the lack of real effort I put into it, pre-order form thing.
I’ll probably leave this up for a week or two then start getting them together and combined with the fact that I have a really family-obligations busy June, I would guess to expect these in July? The reason I’m doing it this way is because it’s easier for me as I don’t really have my own money to sink into making or ordering a chunk of these first. This is my first time organizing something like this so please, and thank you in advance for doing so, bear with me.
The full tag of drawings included in the book is here
Feel free to ask me anything if you’ve got questions!
original characters, fanart, whoever!
i’ll do as many as i have time for
So 05/31 was my 23rd birthday, and it’s made me really… reflective, I guess, similarly to New Years and Thanksgiving and whatever, days of thanks and promise and introspection. Maybe. For me, at least. I was thinking about the years of being on the internet, which feel both long and short (I first gained access in 2005) and some of those times are hazy now in the fog of so much change. It’s hard to reflect when I barely recognise much of the past, in comparison to what’s now! And there are things that are very clear, still. Friendships and interests have shaped and shifted. Some things I just can’t forget. (Chimera used to be so skinny?? Everyone had facial markings? I used “XD” and listened almost exclusively to industrial music? I use SAI about as well as I did in 2008? I was really embarrassing in art school? How was I so nocturnal?… that, I’d like to have back.)
Anyway, the real point of the entry is this… I’m a pretty shy, small person most of the time (unfortunately) and I just want to do a basic shout-out to/about some people… Some I’ve met recently, others I’ve known for years, some fall into other categories entirely.

Whether we talk all the time, rarely ever talk, or I just eye you from afar, I still think you are awesome and thank you very much for the inspiration and support and good feelings. There are a million people who make everything seem worthwhile, ranging from friends to pros in the field I’ll probably never meet. A reasonable number of them are on tumblr and are really cool and I’m just very honoured to be able to share the same bit of space here. In all likelihood it’ll be the only bit of space we share… the internet is as vast as the world and it means a lot that there are a good group of people who enjoy my work, and that there are people whose work I can enjoy from what feels like less of a distance. So thank you for allowing me to be another witness to your journeys, and thank you for wanting to be part of my journey, too! I hope I get a lot better as both an artist and a person in the years to come.
Okay that’s all <3
