Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

ANATOMY OF A CORGI

Pals! We’re Kickstarting a whole big, beautiful ANATOMY OF DOGS book! Join us! The book was a joy to make: You’ll love it! —>
www.kickstarter.com/projects/sma...
TITLE: The Highly Accurate and 100% Correct in Every Way Anatomy of Dogs
SUB HEADING: Anatomy of a Corgi
DESCRIPTION: A golden corgi stands looking over his shoulder. A white diamond on 
his forehead leads to a white muzzle and white chest. He has a fluffy butt with a long tail
sticking up. He looks very happy with wide eyes, tongue out, standing on a patch of 
green grass.
Pointing to his head: The smile of a kid who somehow got TWO ice creams.
Pointing to neck: Is the definition of “unearned confidence”
Pointing to fluffy part of neck: Imagine having a turtleneck you could never take off.
Pointing to top of head: When your head is THOR, but your body is Ant-Man
Pointing to previous joke: It’s like the full-size head of Dr. Evil got fused to the body of 
Mini-Me.
Pointing to butt: First in line when God was handing out “Most human looking butt 
cheeks.”
Pointing to butt: Lookout dat! Dassa butt.
Pointing to butt: Dassa Butt-butt-butt.

So, why did humanity eventually abandon technology?

Well, little one, the billionaires that controlled the tools got so greedy that they made it unusable to everyone else. That was right before the paper and pencil boom of 2030.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Nooooo! 😭 I’m so sorry! I also get lazy when I’m pencilling and then it suddenly takes me a whole day to do a panel because I have to plan it out! I started adding boxes (that get bigger), plants, picture frames, rocks… anything that fits on a shelf! Whatever it takes to not draw those spines! 😉❤️📚
