I wanted to make an enamel pin to honor Nezuko, who tragically passed away a week ago. With costs being over $15,000, sales would help relieve some of the costs.

This enamel pin shows the loyalty of the amazing Akitainu, with the most famous being Hachiko.

Store update this upcoming Monday! Peep the new Nebula design and mini bag 🌌

[ #apparel #space ]

Hi everyone, long time no chat! At the time of writing, I wanted to provide a quick update on how shipping will be handled for US customers. As of right now, all items (minus preorders, will speak on this later) are available to ship to the US. We will still provide our US Friendly category so you can shop without concern for surprise charges, but you are free to purchase outside of this category.* *You may notice, however, that some of our items, such as apparel, have an adjusted price. This new price will include the import fees, which is charged prior to your product shipping and entering the US. Items that do not have this price increase are not subject to tariffs and do not require an update fee. With the ever-changing status of import fees, our items listed under [PREORDER] will be unavailable to purchase until they are ready to ship, and we can guarantee that the tariff is covered correctly. Any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to shop.sulkypup@gmail.com! Thank you for your continuted support.

Dusting the shop off to bring a mini update next Monday! Ahead of the reopening, I wanted to provide an update regarding US shipping.

FYI, I have updated the section of my site where I give basic information about #kidlit agents--what they do, how to find one, how to assess their website, resources to use.
You can start here:

A black and green illustration. A young figure stands central to the image, backlit by a glowing green fog that encapsulates a city with overlooming buildings. They face a tall, shadowy figure, projected on one of the buildings.

Happy Halloween!! 🎃 Here's a new spooky illustration project from me. The Fear Files series makes its debut next July ! 👻

Any chance you can get a second opinion? Your doctors "diagnosis" seems incredibly out of touch and unwarranted
