BLFC 2022 Badge Art

Hey folks!

Extremely happy to share the commission I received from Biggest Little Fur Con. It was a nice, smooth experience, and I was happy that the convention theme [CONVENTION THEME NOT FOUND] was suitable for glitchy aesthetics and experimentation. Made it a perfect opportunity to bust out the Kid Pix. This particular image was both Kid Pix and Photoshop, as the Artist Tier of Patre...

Greetings, readers.

Let’s say you finally got to attend an eagerly anticipated convention and you could only choose one image to encapsulate the experience. Would you commission art of a meal shared between you and your friends? Would you snap a selfie in the afterglow of you and your long distance partner finally getting to share a bed together?...

Hey Patrons and other pals.

I learned that my tax return this year is larger than I expected. Between income generated, refunds granted from convention cancellations, and no convention expenses in 2020, AND buying a house, all the money Sasha was saving for my vision-correcting surgery will probably disappear into this tax return.

Hi old friends, new friends, or incredulous strangers.

This bizarre article title and subsequent art are about something silly and—I pray—entertaining. In truth, the wacky shapes and colors of Kid Pix betray its origins in my life: a pandemic wreaking death and destruction, (and mid-writing, international protests as the USA’s...
