So this year has REALLY taken off and Anthrocon kind of made that point to me. Badges/sketchbooks filled up in fifteen minutes. Fox McCloud prints sold out TWICE. I stopped accepting commission work altogether due to a huge increase in interest and a growing backlog of work (more on that later). The vitriolically titled "popufurs" started to notice me in large numbers, the furry comic publishers are circling, and the constant social media feedback is a beautiful and ever-tempting distraction. What the heck did I do right all of a sudden? I blame the boyfriend (one year anniversary tomorrow!).

The above is, essentially, my way of saying "thank you for an absolutely wonderful Anthrocon". This was my ninth AC, in a row no less, and it couldn't have gone better. My crew expanded with two new members (the MRE chomping  gunrapt0r and plushie making Annie Linn, who's working on getting that FA!) who passed all my tests (that I secretly use to gauge whether people are worth having around) with flying colors! People who stopped by my table were of a consistently high-caliber, even blockading me from my arch-nemeses: the Chihuahua Men. Such bravery in the face of absolute evil is commendable. I don't even know how to follow that up, if you saw me at AC leave a comment; I read all of them and respond to the ones that I manage to conjure a readable response to.

Such a sharp increase in eyeball and people traffic has led me to *quite* the workload. I think most people find that kind of thing intimidating but I'm, honest to Furry-Lion-Jesus, excited! Every idea is a good one and, from what I've gathered of my current clientele, you lot are a patient and engaged bunch. I've finally sifted through all the post-convention messages (at least I hope!) and have things in relative order. I'll be spending this month catching up on last month's Patreon rewards, comic pages, and getting things squared away so I can go into Full Commission Burn in August and September. As always if you have questions or I've managed to overlook something do NOT be afraid to message me, I'll answer intelligibly.

Thanks again for a reading my comics and saying hi at cons. You're too good to me, but please be even better so that I can become rich on Furry-Money.
