Death Taffy

After a long, very hot and dry summer, we finally got some rain. All I want to do is listen to it and nap all day. . . but I gotta prep! We leave for Colorado and Nan Desu Kan tomorrow!

Find me at Table A12 at #CollectedCon, July 12–13 at Navy Pier in Chicago! Come say hi and meet all the cute little guys I brought with me. 👀

A WIP sneak peek at what I'm working on for Collected Con. They'll be ready for their eyes as soon as the whipped cream cures. I'm so excited because these little guys are turning out to be so cute!

Yeee! My order of custom pogs came in! These will be part of a prize pack for a Pokemon-themed stamp rally at Anime ID!

New video today! I finally got around to editing the vlog for last year's Anime ID:

Omg. I almost forgot to post this Duke Nukem print I made for Gem State Comic Con. Better late than never, I guess.

Come join me this weekend in Boise, Idaho at Gem State Comic Con!

I'll have chibi stickers, melty pop keychains, chonky D20's, resin horns, antlers, ears, stickers, a few art prints, POGS, and more!

Converting my chibi badge designs from badges to stickers one week before a convention was probably a bad plan. 😭

My table for Mini Con. It was such a fun event!

I didn't think it would be when I designed it, but this Garf meltypop has to one of my new favorites. It turned out so cute! It's based on an actual popcicle from, I think, the 90s.

Today, on things I thought were a good idea at 2am, and now I'm not sure: This sign I made to promote my custom pog sheets.

You guys would tell me if it's cringe, right??

Here is the rest of this year's schedule! I am still waiting to hear back from a couple of cons, and there is always the chance I'll get off a waitlist, but for now, this is it. 😄

A colorful assortment of dyed Easter eggs.

Sorry to flaunt my extravagant wealth. Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

One hand is flipping the corner so that part of the backside design can be viewed.

I don't understand the all hype around the new #TraderJoes mini canvas tote bags. Is it because they have pretty colors? They look like they don't hold very much and they don't even have artwork on them.

I'm going to have to raise prices and pray I have enough stock to get me through the conventions I have booked this year. God. I'm depressed. Guys, be kind to your favorite artists. We're going through it.

Holy hell. I forgot how much fun designing melty pop keychains are. I'm trying to get some more produced before the under $800 tariffs kick in. I designed like 7 tonight, and their goofy faces made me feel a little better. I might post a members preview on ko-fi tomorrow.

I think I'm just going to slide this here because I'm really feeling it today.

I can't believe I had started to move away from doing my own manufacturing on some products, hoping it would help combat burnout, only for that to no longer be possible. Even making my own stuff, most of the supplies come from China. What am I going to do?

A carded pog set featuring cryptid illustrations.

You think I would have shared the pictures of these already. Oh well. Better late than never! Flip, stack, and collect, whether you're into furbys, cryptids, kitties or kawaii sushi. Each carded set comes with 6 illustrated pogs and a free slammer!

I've been doing my post-con inventory counts, and there is just something absolutely disheartening about pouring days of work into something you're passionate about, only to sell two.

Woot! What a weekend! I'm tired, but I had a good time at Isekai Anime Con! I probably should have posted a pic of my table on Friday, but I forgot. 💀

Hey friends!
I'll be vending at Isekai Anime Con this weekend in the Artist Alley! If you're going, come by and check out my cosplay ears and horns, chibi badges, keychains, pins, stickers and more.

Dates: March 21-23, 2025
Location: Mountain America Exposition Center, Sandy UT
Table: #99

Oh! That looks like what I need. I might have to pick some up next time I'm at harbor freight.

I keep cutting my fingers on sharp resin edges when I've been pulling horns from molds this week. I just bought a cheap pair of gardening gloves, I hope they help.

I ordered a bunch of stickers today. I usually make them myself, but it's a frustrating process that takes sooo much time out of my day, I figured I'd try letting someone else make them for a change.

Sometimes, I find it unbelievably frustrating when I don't make it into a local convention, knowing the spots were more than likely filled with out-of-towners because the spots weren't curated.

I haven't posted in a while, and I'd thought I'd share why. I've been busy creating art for several pog/milkcap sets that I want to have done in time for Isekai Anime Con in March. Here is a WIP of my Paranormal Pals set.

That's good to hear! I always think they look bad.
