March Newsletter!

 Hello everyone!! 

February flew by FAST, didn't it?! I actually feel a little unprepared for March but at the same time, I'm ready to dig my heels in and get to work!! 

 ♥ KICKSTARTER ♥  

You've probably seen on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, but in case you somehow missed it, I've been super busy this month working hard on putting together my first ever Kickstarter! 

I'm working together with two of my best friends to make enamel pins! I SEVERELY underestimated how much work it would take to put the KS together!! I think I was perhaps a bit over-zealous in assembling it but I'm really really proud of myself for doing it.

I hope you'll go and check it out! Not necessarily to back it but just to bear witness to all my hard work LOL

As it stands, we're only £1 off being half way funded! 

I was thinking of including an extra bonus for patrons who back the project but I'm not sure what! Maybe a little doodle with the package or an exclusive sticker? If anyone has any ideas, feel free to leave them in the comments!

♥ COMICS ♥   

I'm going to try and catch up on comics this week!! Only a couple of weeks ago, I'd managed to make a buffer but working on pretty much nothing apart from this Kickstarter has eaten it all up. 

This week I'll be playing catch-up but hopefully by next week, we'll be back on track with you guys getting comics a full week before anyone else!

 ♥ CONVENTIONS ♥   

Con season is APPROACHING FAST woah! I'm not ready but I'm EXCITED!!!!

Here's a list of the shows I'll be tabling at so far:

 ♥ 4th April - Rai Con Spring (Glasgow)

 ♥ 18th April - Dee Con (Dundee)

 ♥ 29th-31st May - MCM London 

 ♥ 26th-28th June - Sunny Con (Newcastle) 

 ♥ 4th July - Glasgow Comic Con

 ♥ 10th-12th July - Hyper Japan (London)

  ♥ SKETCH REQUESTS ♥ 

A couple of people have said that they're not too fussed about getting a sketch request every month. I'm going to keep asking every month anyway just in case but if you're not in it for the sketches, that's totally fine! No need to feel bad!! 

  ♥ OTHER STUFF ♥  

I desperately want to work on Violapse but other stuff keeps coming up that I have to prioritise. I know my $7 patrons are expecting Violapse drawings and development but it looks like I'm still going to have to delay it for at least another month (which is killing me inside). Hopefully getting other stuff like sketch requests and more angsty comics will satisfy you for the time being but I won't be offended if you want to drop down a tier or two!

Con prep is going to eat a lot of my time this month but I was thinking of maybe sending every patron a small print and sticker pack at the end of next month when I have everything ready to sell as a little thank you!

I'm going to be running another Kickstarter soon for Mood which is the collection of all my autobio comics!! I really wanted to do it already but I feel like it would be madness to run two kickstarters at once! Also I'm sure everyone would get annoyed if 50% of my posts became promo haha;;;;

And I think that's going to be it from me for now! Sorry for this huge post haha but thank you for reading!

Chat to you soon!!
