Artist in need of some financial help...

With the tragic events that postponed Boston Comic Con, we're doing our best to keep our heads above water.  Things are tight, and we've got just about one week to scrape together what we need to keep the roof above us and the lights on.  Something of a side project I've had going is an etsy shop, and I've just filled it with a bunch of things you'll never see on NJD.  If you have a chance, give it a look, or at least share it with some of your friends.  We could really use some help to get over this unforseen turn of events--every little bit of support really helps. ❤

If you're in the area, stop by and say hi!  I'll be going it alone, sans the awesomeness of our usual booth I mean!  Just me and my art at a table looking for a good chat and maybe to draw some pictures!  Table number AAW70!  Hope to see you there!

they keep vanishing? this is a test. again.


We've got a LOT of new projects coming up in the next few months!  One of those is a plushie endeavour!  We're looking into getting some of our sleeping animals transformed into adorable stuffed companions but in order to do so we're going to need a little help from you!

Q:  Would you fund a KickStarter or IndieGoGo type project to help us reach our goal  of $8,000 to craft our cuties into cuddly companions?

We can't wait to hear back from you!

I lost so much time these past 8 weeks...or maybe it's closer to 10?  I have no idea.  It's just been non-stop GO-GO-GO for us over here! @__@

We're slowing getting things back in order, which means a backlog of good news for you, and a backlog of notes, messages, and comments for me!  I'll be getting to work on everything that needs my attention shortly--all I ask is for you to hang on a little longer while I settle in to a totally new and different routine and studio. :heart:

In the mean time, we're taking a poll!  Stop by our FaceBook page and give us your input! CLICK IT HERE -- >[link]

Catch you all later, gang!  Thanks for waiting around for me!

We're Moving! [AGAIN!]

in about 12 days kit and i will start the moving process, and we'll pretty much be hauling things from one location to another until the end of the month.  
moving means hauling.
hauling means packing.
packing means ugh.

i seriously look forward to finding a safe, secure place to be for more than a couple years at a time sometime SOON!  i don't want to keep shuffling the studio around...it's back-breaking work you know.

basically, i wanted to leave a note here saying we're around, and if you've tried to get in touch with us while we were out of town, we're making an effort to get in touch with you all within the next week or so--before the PACKstraviganza begins.   -_-

thank you all for your patience!  i'll be in touch soon!
