[Dragonmun Studios] Progression

That's my word for the year!

Home  •   Patreon  •   Discord  •   Event Schedule  •   Sivoa: Zenith Kickstarter

I really had to sit and think about the word I wanted as my mantra for this year. I wanted something motivating and "forward-thinking," but I didn't  want it to be so much so that I wound up feeling like a failure for not quite meeting its implied momentum. I initially thought of "gaining traction," but that was two words and honestly was about grip. I don't know that I want to cling to every...

[Dragonmun Studios] Year of the Dragon Retrospective

Central Florida Secretly Has it Going on!

Just like that, I'm writing the last newsletter of the year. How nuts! 2024 was chock-full of wild adventures and new art things. I want to give a run-down of it all, but frankly that would be enough content to fill a zine with – which I am also actually doing.

A few years back, Patreon subscribers at the $10+ sketch tier got to vote on what I would do next and it was decided that I'd make an annual zine featu...

[Dragonmun Studios] Novel November (and Stuff)

Words! They're everywhere!

October played so rough that I forgot all about my book birthdays!

Sivoa: Sunrise and Sivoa: Zenith both came out in October in their respective year. Happy birthday books! 🥳

I want to shout out to everyone that I met at the Lakeland Art Crawl! You people are amazing and know how to have a good time! It was such a wonderful event because of you and I absolutely cannot wait until I can apply for it again next year! My next Flo...

[Dragonmun Studios] Orlando Reads Books Event Postponed

Things got more serious really really fast.

Home  •   Patreon  •   Discord  •   Event Schedule

With how rapidly hurricane Milton progress, the convention and the hotel came to the decision to hold off the event until next year so that rooms will be available for those evacuating the coastal areas.  Pre-ordered books will be mailed out once it is safe to do so.

Thank you for your understanding.

Is a state of mind

(I kinda miss the hurricane cakes.)

I feel like I had all these big plans for this month going into September, but I kind of forgot them in the aftermath of hurricane Helene - which I was blessedly unaffected by physically. Emotionally I'm hurting for all my loves in Appalachia. Just, like, so many things I loved about the mountains are gone. Now, as I'm writing this email, I'm staring at the charts for hurricane Milton and find mys...

[Dragonmun Studios] August Was a #Challenging Month

In the sense that I participated in Challenges! Whoo!

 "I live in chaos."~ Me, whenever I try making plans with friends.

I went into last month with only the #Smaugust challenge in mind. I wound up having just about a week to prepare for a convention and then I ended up helping make a short movie over the course of a weekend.

My dear friend Kit Steele (of Tea Dragon fame) was unable to make it to Tampa Bay Comic Convention this year and so, she gave me...

[Dragonmun Studios] Will Be At Tampa Bay Comic Convention!

I got sponsored in last minute! I'm so excited!

Hey all!

I just wanted to write in to let you know that with much thanks to Kit Steele sponsoring me in, I'll be in the Tampa Bay Comic Con artist alley this year!

This is all so last minute that I don't have graphics for it yet, but I'll be at table B7, which is pretty much in the first row that you'll come to when you reach the artist alley from the front doors. It's such an amazing spot!

It's August! You know what that means?!

Okay, generally nothing, but this is my birthday month! It's also #Smaugust, so I'll be posting a dragon a day over on the socials.

 

Last Month In Art

July was a pretty busy month art-wise.

1, I revisited an oooooooooold idea, sparked from a dream that I used to have occasionally. 2, I started this weird pumpkin creature thing while I was live-painting at the Third Thursday art party happenin...

[Dragonmun Studios] We Made It to the Second Half of the Year!

Not gonna lie they had us in the first half.

Home  •   Patreon  •   Discord  •   Event Schedule

June was a weird month this year. It started off with expensive bugs, then there was a health scare, and it all ended with happy nerds.

Not terribly long after I sent out last month's email, my husband noticed a weird fairy-like bug flying around our kitchen lights. Naturally, he squished it. Then another one showed up and he squished that. Then, like the chickens from Legend of Zelda, there were dozens of ...

Goodbye May! Good Riddance!

Home  •   Patreon  •   Discord  •   Event Schedule

After flying high on the  sheer joy of C2E2, the month of May hit like a freight train when I dared to land. Almost immediately I found myself lucking out of an active shooter situation. Then that didn't matter to me much because my amazing grandmother passed away and frankly the rest of the month didn't get any better. Somehow, despite all of that, I managed to get quite a bit of art  done!
