🇮🇹🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠💡🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠💡🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠❗️🇮🇹 🇬🇧 English text in the replies! 🇬🇧 Per la terza volta quest'anno, si ritorna a milano al Parco Esposizioni Novegro! Stavolta per la nuovissima Milano Artist Alley! La fiera è alla sua primissima edizione, e includerà SOLO stand autoprodotti, di artisti veri ed autentici, niente rivenditori o brand giganti! Siamo tutti gasatissimi per un evento come questo e speriamo che possiate visitarlo numerosi :D Io sarò come sempre al padiglione C assieme alla mia vicina di stand e compagna di avventure @Aeritus ! Sulla mappa trovate la nostra posizione esatta :) 🐶Allo stand troverete tantissime robine nuove, prime fra tutte i nuovi portachiavi Teams, nuovi "Hello!" badges, e anche una nuova serie di spillette "Furries once said"! Ce n'è veramente per tutti i gusti! Oltre ovviamente al merch classico di sempre! Date un'occhiata al mio catalogo per scoprirvi tutti i merch!❤️ 🐾Inoltre per questa edizione introduttiva, eio ed Aeritus abbiamo realizzato una mini sticker run, o se vogliamo, una sticker walk xD XD (visto che abbiamo i tavoli attaccati lol) Spendendo almeno 5€ ai nostri stand, riceverete questo sticker che abbiamo realizzato insieme :) Non vediamo davvero l'ora di riabbracciarvi tutti ❤️ a prestissimo!!

Hello I am a... CUSTOM! 👀 A few completed custom Hello badges I did recently, with more on the way. I'm a little swamped with art to complete at the moment but, would you be interested in ordering a custom badge in the near future? 👀 I may create a listing on Etsy for it, complete with printing and shipping. What do you think?

The Dealers' Den experience. My fellow artists know what it's like xD An old classic from a couple years ago!

Photo of the snep! This was a lot of fun to paint! Acrylic on canvas board, 25x25cm, 3h sketch

Arven discovered time-lapse! I had no idea my phone was capable of recording them haha. I really felt like drawing a snep yesterday, and I used it as an excuse to experiment on a few acrylic techniques! So, have this video! I hope you enjoy the process and result. Acrylic on canvas board, approx 3h time. I love how no matter what, 90% of the process is just a trust me bro phase, and it only starts looking remotely right during the last 10%. I will share the photo as an individual post later, for some reason the rendering made the final photo really bright and the colors are off. So I'll post a more accurate photo later :)

With the conclusion of Eurofurence, we return with our familiar ranking of our most popular Teams! This time also featuring the Hello badges, now that I have an even more accurate way of keeping track of them! As a matter of fact now that the Teams keychains all start from different amounts, it is much more effective to count the items sold, instead of the remaining ones! Last time at Awoostria, Team FOX was the clear winner! And for EF, Team Fox once again absolutely demolishes the competition, with a whopping 53 tags sold! Thats almost 20 points ahead of second place, Team WOLF! Third place is shared by Team BIG CAT (I didn't even have enough remaining tags xD), and the new contender Team MAWS, with 30 tags each! (and team Maws seems to have won the rivalry with team PAWS this time around 👀 looks like the Paws may need to... Step it up next time 👀). A special mention goes to team DRAGON, for which I only had 15 tags upon arriving at EF. The tags completely sold out within ONE HOUR of the Dealer's Den opening. 😵‍💫 If there had been more, I guarantee you Team Dragon would have placed in the top three, possibly rivaling Team FOX for the first place! In the Hello division, our winner for EF was the evergreen Menace, with 14 sold! I am always surprised by how much people like this design 🤣 Second place is a tie between Fox and, surprisingly, Avali, with 10 each! For Avali I only had 10 badges available, so they ran out mid convention, so it is safe to assume that Avali might have surpassed Fox if more were available! Runner up for this category is Protogen, with 8 badges sold! The next round of the competition won't be for a while, where we'll be moving from Germany to France... At FURRY BLACKLIGHT ! 👀 Who will emerge the winner then? 👀 Get your predictions in and don't forget to root for your favorite team!!

So... what's the next Disguise t-shirt gonna be? 👀 Poll below!

These patches also have neon markings (the yellow and red, respectively), the camera doesn't pick them up very well, but they're really bright irl 👀 what do you think? 😍❤️

🇩🇪🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🇩🇪 At last. The time has come for the announcement. I am headed to Hamburg, Germany next week, to attend Eurofurence! The con will take place from August 18th to 23rd!

Hurry because some items are low in stock 👀 🐱At the Dealer's Den, you will find all of my usual merch, including my BRAND NEW "Furry Teams", tons of new "Hello" badges, BRAND NEW velcro patches and (possibly) a new line of button pins that you can see on screen, called "Furries once said"! I unfortunately have to put a big asterisk on these at the moment, since the package with them inside is still travelling, and there is a small chance it might not arrive on time 🥲 Which would be a bummer, but what can you do. I will also be handing out a FREE COMMEMORATIVE STICKER to everyone who visits my table! :D And to celebrate EF's 30th birthday, it's a holo one this time! No purchase is required! 🐱At the Art Show, a special LIMITED AND SIGNED 50x70 canvas print of my conbook artwork will be up for purchase, among other paintings!
