Slowly getting there ✨❤️📚
Removed the backwalls of the shelves, so that painting the wall in blue w/ glitter wasn‘t for nothing ✨✨✨

BTW, prints by lian_illustration (Insta) and lovely @refrainbow.bsky.social

First time Aikon Bonn was as unprepared as it was short for me 🥲
Due to renovations at home I only had an hour to spare at the con. Nevertheless I got two postcards, a manga and some drinks, so you can say I made the best out of it 😂
I hope next year will be longer and with more company ❤️

Welcome to Madness. The reason why it’s so quiet around my account is that I’m currently busy renovating our newly bought house 🩵

For me it’s a deeper level of friendship. ☺️
And I can proudly say that my husband is also my best friend ❤️

🔸Happy belated birthday!!! 💚

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt7 - Publisher
Last but not least #Carlsen / #Hayabusa.
They made my day with all the amazing #LullabyOfTheDawn goodies as well as the Live Drawing Event with #IchikaYuno
Not to mention the first volume of #SmokyNectar - beautiful SNS-card inclusive ❤️

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt6 - Publisher
#Altraverse s booth was the most memorizable one imo, since it looked like a closed shop within the expo hall. Props to the booth planner 👌
I finally got #WetSand and also @schornee.bsky.social s latest volume of #LetsCastOff Sadly SchorNEE was not there this year.

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt5 - Publisher
Most surprising amount of loot was provided at #PaniniManga
Got huge posters, a postcard, SNS-card and bookmark from two series, I wanted to get anyway. Free rainbow-button as well, since #DerOmegaImKönigspalast was already out of stock.

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt4 - Publisher
#Tokyopop and #Crunchyroll were already on my list to get stuff from, but #Yomeru was a lucky coincidence. The guy at the booth was so good at selling #FakeFactLips, that I had no other choice than to buy this volume 😂😂❤️

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt3 - Artists
@jianrou.bsky.social
I actually wanted to get something for my niece, but after seeing this gorgeous #Edmond, I couldn‘t resist. There are way too few artists making fanarts of #Nu:Carnival at DoKomi 😭🥺

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt2 - Artists
@katzenjammerpins.bsky.social @kiyumiyu.bsky.social @grumpybobcreations.bsky.social #bexii_draws
Left so much money at Katzenjammerpin‘s booth 😂💸

And so happy to get prints from KiyuMiyu. LOVE their art!

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt1 - Artists
@refrainbow.bsky.social @juiart.bsky.social & #DJun (latter not in person, but via merchandise seller)
So stoked to see Refrainbow again and Jui for the first time. Beautiful merch from both of them. #HereUAre was a lucky bonus ❤️

#DoKomi for the first time on all three days was exhausting but worth it. Thanks again for providing a place to rest @grumpybobcreations.bsky.social

Haul comes tomorrow after a good nights sleep 😴

Tomorrow the #dokomi2025 will already start!
Meet me at Hall 3 Booth L24 ❤️

I will bring old prints, new prints, lanterns, T-Shirts and tote bags, sketchbooks, cork coasters and more 😍 All hand made!

A word balloon saying “AI makes art more accessible” above a sketchy drawing of Beethoven at a piano. Below, it’s says “Beethoven was literally deaf. Stfu and pick up a pencil.”

If you use GenAI, you’re not welcome here #NoAI
