TIL that our new automatic feeders (for dry food, which have also clearly been eaten from) do not stop the cat gremlins (mostly Tristana) from knocking over everything she can reach to wake me up early for (wet) food (aka “the good stuff”) in the morning 😅

One of my favorite parts about having animals in my art is that it spurs stories about animals from people visiting my booth at events.

Today I learned about a bearded dragon named Bilbo Draggins.

Day. Made. ☺️

(And yes, this is absolutely permission to share animal stories if you see me!)

I’m back home from my first Dragonsteel Nexus and WOW, what a magical ride!

Still decompressing post-event and have one more holiday market this weekend to wrap up the year, then I’m on an Artist Alley hiatus until MARCH to get some rest and new work done! (Still joining several Art Shows, though!)

I got a restock of my antifascist stickers earlier this week.
I mention this for no particular reason.

It's been a minute since I shared my upcoming convention/event schedule, so take a look at what you can expect for the rest of 2025 (plus possibly one or two art shows still incoming)!

As always, the most up-to-date schedule is on my website: radenstudios.com/events/

The community around this project has been phenomenal. I love working alongside so many other talented artists and supporting each other through the whole process. 10/10, highly recommend! #Pintober

Date night! Hearing the music from one of my favorite games played and expanded on by a 35-piece orchestra was beautiful ☺️

I'm steadily wrapping up the pin designs for my #Pintober Mythical Bards campaign (ends in just one week on Nov 1!) and am really thrilled with how the haunted dragon came out 😍

Next, a gargoyle is in the works (and already unlocked!) with wolpertinger on the way!

Took a break from my current art projects and crowdfunding prep to do a new-to-me art thing just for fun. It was a nice mental break, and now I have a flower I made with my own two hands ^_^

#Pintober launches tomorrow! Take a look at my campaign freebies. More info about each is on BackerKit!

The next three bards - as voted on in my recent BackerKit poll - will be a haunted dragon, gargoyle, and wolpertinger. I can't wait to share them with you!

Trying out the DragonCon hotel hunger games for the first time today and chose my Star Trek red shirt sweater to wear.

Fingers crossed for a lucky day, but it would be a *little* funny if, as a newbie, I miss out in traditional redshirt fashion 😆

Either way, we’re living on geeky vibes today!
