Valentine's day quick sketch
Do you use a service to print your books & buttons, or do you press and collate them yourself? I really love your work and I'm curious how you approach self-publishing as a full-time independent illustrator!
Hi there! Thank you so much for asking!
All of my buttons are made via a manufacturer! They're often very cheap to have made. I 100% recommend this merch resource list created by Lily Grace if you're looking to get merch made and need a place to start! :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mk9wl0LiYNStnXxwHAE6hd4-uzDMhfvnHsh819KlQeA/edit?gid=0#gid=0
As for books, I'm currently using https://www.grekoprinting-comixwellspring.com/ as a printer for my one little soriku book. I'm still a novice when it comes to physical print, but its a really nice option to have when selling at conventions! If you're considering printing an art book or comic book, I'd recommend having a digital option for accessibility, too! ^^
Making your own merch is still totally a valid option, if you're willing to invest in the resources to do that! There's plenty of good reasons to do stuff in house. I personally prefer to not have the extra workload because I'm already so bad about dragging my feet on the simplest of work tasks LOL!
I’ve had these concepts in my drafts for almost a year 💀
I drew & printed a bunch of mini Xions
they're inspired by Tim Peacock’s comic Hole.

Realized I'm not sure I've seen anyone else talk about it on Tumblr, so if you didn't know about it, here's the heads up on this very cool fan project to make 358/2 Days fully playable on PC
