Update // Running down that hill
🕑 Added 2025-10-06 14:30:14 +0000 UTCI really need to stop using that one Kate Bush track as a coping mechanism...
So I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say that I’m quite confident I went through a wormhole at the end of MCM May, skipped past June, July, August and September and came out just in time to do the prep all over again for MCM October.
That right there is all the setup props from the last event that I explicitly remember saying I’d put in the attic “tomorrow"...Whichever way that happened, facts are that I’m back in the unfettered madness that is going through the 5 stages of convention grief: denial that you’re running out of time, anger about the price of overheads, bargaining with the printer to please spit out the last chunk of paper, depression after 14 consecutive sleepless nights and finally, acceptance that this was all self-inflicted and perfectly avoidable.
So in the spirit of getting through those as fast as I can, I’m gonna do like Sisyphus and roll that rock back uphill while keeping this update as tight and tidy as possible.
Onwards!
[ StarStickers ]
Rewards will remain closed this month. For notice on future openings, please keep an eye on these updates as well as the Discord.
Additionally, rewards from last month will be allocated shortly - there were a lot of applications and thus there is math to be done. Thank you for your patience!
[ Merchandise ]
No new merch until after the convention, so just a couple of reminders:
A5 prints will be leaving StarStickers in November.
If you put in any orders from the US, please remember to write your phone number into your StarStickers account as described here.
[ Patreon ]
The current available slots on limited tiers are:
Mentor Tier: 1 slot
This tier entitles you to a private 1-to-1 art session every month to help you in your art journey. For more info check here. Additionally, you also get 20 points a month on StarStickers to spend on rewards such as custom illustrations, prints and other merch. This tier is limited to 10 spots.
This month’s points will be allocated shortly, as well as the 10 bonus points I promised last month to thank all my patrons for hanging around during my birthday month, so please look forward to that!
[ MCM London ]
If all goes well as per the above, I will be back at MCM Comic Con London between the 24th and 26th of this month! If you’re in the area please make sure you drop in and say hi! I apologise in advance if I behold you with the thousand-yard stare of someone who’s on too much coffee, too little sleep and has smelled one too many armpits over the weekend.
[ In closing ]
It’s going to be/already being a busy, busy month, so things are likely to be a little quieter on the art front until it’s over - largely due to MCM but also due to several of the pieces I’m working on being NDA or surprise Mystery Boxes - so as always, please bear with me and trust that I’m still pushing that boulder around in (mostly) the right direction.
And now I leave you with my first attempt at using clay which turned out to be a pretty accurate expression of how I’m feeling right about now.
