VERY excited about these new romance novel cover prints I’ll have at Flamecon table K119!! Hard to capture in photos, but they’re on a really nice pearl linen shimmer heavy stock, so they’ve got a little texture and a fun silvery shimmer to them. Full flamecon menu post coming soon!! I haven’t been at a con in three years, I’m nervous but excited!!
I’ll have these at Flamecon, SPX, and MICE, and if I have any leftovers after that I’ll put them up for sale online- I’ll be sure to let folks know here /insta/twt/bsky (careydraws everywhere) when that happens!
Can you BELIEVE these “”“just weren’t the right tone”“”“ for the GN series covers*, I don’t see the problem, the main trio are CLEARLY visible on every cover,,,
*as always, this is a joke!! I made these as a special treat for me to stay sane during the actual GN cover process, nobody else ever got to see them to reject them; the entire GN team and the entire team at :01 are incredibly powerful & I feel very lucky to get to work with them!!
Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.
This is actually a common misconception! While the Unicorn Dog did exist and was discontinued following the extinction of unicorns in 2009, the Corn Dog is not a rebranding of the Unicorn Dog! The Corn Dog was created in 2003 by James H. Corn, though it remained a relatively unpopular Ohio treat until 2010 when Mr. Corn took the opportunity left by the Unicorn Dog’s exit from the market to take over the niche.
I had always assumed this was some extremist Christian book for kids. Turns out this is actually by a gay comic artist named Howard Cruse who passed away in 2019. This is from a 1980 short story called “Billy Goes Out” which tells the story of a man named Billy who is trying to move on with life after his partner’s untimely passing. It highlights a lot of the struggles of the LGBT community at the time. This particular frame is him remembering how he blamed himself being gay when bad things happened to him as a child.
The reality of Spongebob being furry media is a thing the world should be ready for. Think about it. Anthropomorphic animals. Yes, sponges are animals, and therefore are furries when anthropomorphized. Spongebob is, in all senses of the word, a furry. Ya’ll are just a bunch of pussies.
so I didn’t know if female jesters had been a thing in the past and looked it up and was introduced to mathurine the fool, who gave one of the best burns in history in a silly little way.
also she apparently stopped an assassination?? amazing.
[ID: She was known for her extravagant costume as an Amazonian warrior, complete with shield, armor, and a wooden sword. She was famous for her sharp wit, and there were many anecdotes about it. One of them was an occasion, in which a lady in waiting complained that she did not like having a fool at her right side, upon which Mathurine jumped to the lady’s other side and announced: “I don’t mind it at all.” /end ID]
