Roadmap
a year ago
I can't sleep, so you know what that means. Overthinking! Here's an attempt to untangle and weaponize these thoughts.
I want to do more with this art. I want to stoke the muse more often. I have a few lofty goals, so perhaps this will help me get there.
----
1. First things first, I want to make more personal art. Take risks. Post unfinished pieces if I have to.
2. Incorporate my wolverine mascot Argosy into my brand. They're a good bean and deserve it.
Also, to incorporate animals more. This is a furry brand and I want to celebrate that, make it unmistakable.
3. Fund more merch. I'm iffy on prints, since my work may not fit that niche much. If I'm wrong and you want a design of mine in print, please tell me. And mention which!
But the intent would be to diversify offerings a smidge. Bandanas, patches, pins, woven keyfobs.
4. Get one stable convention table. Then a few. Build a name in person. Meet more people.
5. Get a little wilder with merch, funded by profits. Break into clothing. Hoodies, tank tops, beanies, all gender neutral wear. Maybe postcards.
6. Go wilder. Look into undies. Bras. Binders. Socks. Bath mats. Guitar picks. Stamps.
7. Heck, I dunno. I'd be pretty fulfilled by then. Guest of Honor somewhere?

Ambition isn't my strong suit, so this list feels fairly impressive. But, if you can dream it, you can do it. :>
