Happy December, friends!

Autumn will be ending later this month, but it already feels like winter! Which makes me both a little sad and happy. While the Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year, I can appreciate that crisp and refreshing breath of winter air. And in the spirit of refreshing, I wanted to try something a little different for my monthly newsletters! So, I thought that this would be a great place to start including a mini comic. Going forward, I will be doing a small illustrated moment (a few tiny panels at most) to include with every one of these shop updates. To start, I wanted to go back and do a few drawings from my favorite moments and sketches that I had done during a trip that I had taken to Vermont back in July. (This is doubly exciting since I wanted to compile all of these sketches and comics into one bigger risograph zine!)

I had a small shop update last month…

Capybara Pin & Patch, Updated Fox Patch, Mushroom Bolo Tie (Collaboration with Tiny Deer Studio)

I have a small pile of comic bookmarks left but once they run out, I’ll be including my new freebie Mr. Paulaka bookmarks in future orders :)

Sketched a new portrait of me and Peach…

For my Patreon Cafe Nook Club and November snail mail, I had drawn a Book Nook postcard and Mr. Paulaka sticker. I also sneaked in a bookmark in their mail since it was fitting :)
