November Recap:

Last month, the biggest project I worked on (outside of comics) was prepping for the Holiday Sale. I spent a lot of that time researching drop ship shirt companies before deciding to work with Printful. So far, a couple of my most popular designs have been updated and are being offered up as shirts and hoodies. I’m excited to test out Printful’s service to bring cool new items to the shop!

Another fun thing that happened this month: I’ve been streaming more! Twitch is rolling out some really cool features, and I’ve had a blast testing them out. One of the coolest things they’ve added are achievements, which help you track your progress toward becoming a Twitch Partner:

I’m weirdly competitive once things are gamified, so this will be a fun side goal to work toward in 2018. 

I’ve also been plugging away at holiday portraits. All of the spots were claimed early on, and now I’m in the process of sketching and consulting with clients to make sure things are perfect. Here are a few of the sketches so far:

December Workings:

December is usually a slower month for me, as the holidays tend to take up a lot of time. I also like to reflect on the past year and plan for the year ahead. So while things might seem quieter, I’ll be busy researching, planning, prepping, and working on different projects for next year. I look forward to sharing some of these goals with you very soon!

Here’s a taste of the SUPER EXCITING and SEXY topics I’m currently reading up on: Product launching, merchandising, and marketing calendars. 

I know. It’s almost too sexy to mention.

There are two livedraws/streams scheduled this month for Gold patrons, one on December 14 and one on December 28 from 7-9pm cst. More details coming soon.

Also, don’t forget! The holiday sale/discount will be active through the end of the year. You guys can use the code TRUECREW20 for 20% off any shop orders.  

That's all for me! I'll be back with more comics very soon!
