Poll: Vote on October's Postcard Print theme! 🍂 🎃

Hello my friends!

Autumn is around the corner and I could not be more excited! As some of you might have already guessed, it's definitely my favorite season ☕️ 🍂 

For October, I wanted to do something a little differently and have my patrons chose the theme of the month! I'm staying away from specifically Halloween centered themes this time around since the rewards will be sent out during the beginning of November. Hopefully it's not too much of a disappointment since ...

🌻 August & September Digital Rewards

Hello again friends! 

August & September's digital rewards are here! This month's rewards ft:

• 12-page sketchbook zine 
• "Last Days of Summer" phone wallpaper
• High-res downloadable PNG files of this month's print + August's fairy commissions from Twitter

I hope you will enjoy flipping through this month's sketchbook. I tried including more 1st + 2nd sketches for certain illustrations in the zine. I found that most artists can jump ri...

✿ August & September // Last Days of Summer ✿

Hello friends!

It's been a while since my last update on Patreon, which was about the tier changes and reducing the amount of rewards I offer. While I struggled to finish this month's reward, it was definitely less taxing on my mental and physical well-being able to focus on one illustration rather than two. Sometimes I need a little extra time in my schedule to experiment and have fun while working!

Although it's finally the beginning of September, Summer seems to want to linger ...

❗IMPORTANT - Upcoming Tier Changes❗

**IMPORTANT LAST MINUTE UPDATE** 

I double-checked how to delete patreon tiers and I found some new information about how this affects patrons on tiers "Lily of the Valley (18+)" and "Foxglove".

I have deleted Lily of the Valley (18+) and Foxglove. From what I've looked up about deleting tiers is that patrons on these tiers will be "tierless" but might still be charged the same amount as you've pledged before despite the tiers not existing anymore. 

Here's some inf...

✧ Starting Fresh: Patreon update w/ new tiers!

Hello my dear friends! 

I'm back yet again with another Patreon update! This time I wanted to talk about my upcoming Patreon changes and the updated tiers+rewards. 

First, a little story time: It's been exactly one year since I introduced my NSFW tiers, Lily of the Valley (18+) and Foxglove, and offered them as Patreon rewards. Initially I created the separate tiers (SFW and NSFW) since it made it easier for people to simply chose whether they wanted nudity or not for th...

July Update ⇢ Life, client projects, and April's rewards

Hello dear friends!! 

It's been a while since my last full update because of how busy I've been for the past... 3 months! However, I'm very excited to say that I just sent in my last client project and now I can finally get back to my usual schedule ((': 

Feel free to skip over the life update + projects if you'd like to just be updated on April's rewards!

July Rewards Paused! - No charge in July

Hello everyone!! 

I've been so awfully busy finishing with my client work this past month and doing renovations in my apartment that I haven't had the chance to be around on Patreon and online. 

Just letting everyone know that July has been paused - You will not be charged during July! 

April's rewards are almost ready to go with the prints arrived, new P.O box, and the new printer setup. Just haven't had the chance to get to them just yet wit...

✿ April // Among the Roses ✿

Hello once again!

How is everyone doing? I've missed you guys so so much, but I'm happy to be back to show you what I've been working on for this month's rewards! As you might know, I had a completely different idea for what this month's theme would be and had to scrap the project 'cause I just wasn't vibing with it anymore. While starting over meant that my rewards would be delayed, I'd rather make illustrations that I'm happy with and enjoy working on.

I'm very pleased with how ...

April Rewards // wip + sketches 🌷

Hello everyone and Happy April!! 

It's been a bit hectic and I've been having a hard time figuring out this month's Patreon rewards so it's been taking me longer than I expected ): I'm so sorry about the late update! I guess I had art block with my previous idea and hit a wall. I was also working on another project for the "Classics But Make It Gay" art book, and just dealing with life in general.  At some point I couldn't stand working on my initial reward illustration, so I ...

UPDATE: Patreon bug and wrong rewards!

Hello and Happy Spring! 🌷 

Some of you have reached out to me because you have received the wrong February reward in the mail. This problem seems like it only affected those who initially signed up for one of the $15 tiers (Either SFW or NSFW) and then switched to the other one some time before February 28th. 

When I package my letters, I use Patreon's Relationship manager and filter patrons based on their tiers. So I would package SFW Lily of the Valley, label envelo...

New Reward: Say Hello to Our Discord Server! 🌷

Heyo! I have came down from the mountains to announce that I have created a discord server ✨ 

Many of you have already been swept into this unknowingly (sorry about that ; v;) but if you haven't and would like to join us, here is the invite link!

It's something I have been thinking about creating for the last few months since it seems like an easier way to create minor announcements that don't need a patr...

March Announcement: Taking a break + Feb Mail Update

Hello friends!

I hope you've been all doing well! I wanted to compile a list of updates for this up-coming month and for Spring in general. So let's get started!

• (IMPORTANT) I'm taking a break for March! That means that my Patreon has been paused and you will not be charged during the beginning of the month. I've been feeling symptoms of burnout (constant headaches, general depression, lack of motivation, etc etc.) and while it doesn't feel as bad a...

✿ February // My Lovely Valentine ✿

Hello and Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day!! 💕 

I hope everyone was able to spend the day doing what they love doing! My partner and I spent a cozy day in and got a big box of raspberry linzer cookies for ourselves. They were super cute and heart-shaped and I totally forgot to take photos cause I'm a dum-dum. Oops, next time!

Also: I'm so sorry for the delayed rewards and I'd like thank you so much for your patience ; ~;  I just finished my print illustration today aft...

Poll: Packaging Updates 📦

Hello everyone! It's time for another poll!!

I've been stressing out about something for a while and usually the stress gets worse when I'm packaging everyone's mail. Maybe it's a little silly, but I would super appreciate it if you can all give a little insight to this problem I'm having.

SO!! Packaging!! *claps*

If you're new here or need a refresher, let me describe my current packaging system. I have my merch, glassine/compostable cellophane bags, washi tape, pi...

February Rewards // wip + sketches 💘

Hello, and welcome everyone to a month filled with hearts, flowers, and PINK!!

How are you all doing? We're halfway through winter and I'm waiting out the chilly (for Los Angeles!) weather with my cozy Winnie the Pooh blanket and some hot chocolate. My favorite toppings for hot chocolate are mini vegan marshmallows and whipped cream on top. Hmm, it's been a while since I had hot chocolate with toppings, maybe I should go get some the next time I go grocery shopping :')

Poll time! Should Patreon designs be available elsewhere?

Hello! I just wanted to pop in to to ask you all a question that has been on my mind for awhile. As you know, all my Patreon rewards are only available through here for a certain period of time. That might change later cause I was planning on making a Patreon exclusive shop especially since I am starting to accumulate extra prints and stickers and they need to go! But that's another story for a later time.

So here is my question, how do you feel about designs ( 2021-01-08 19:51:51 +0000 UTC View Post
