July 2026 Newsletter: Slow and Steady
Hello again everyone!
I hope y’all are doing well. It’s been a bit of a difficult month for me to be honest (between personal stuff and the perpetual nightmare of job-hunting), but we’re making it through!

The end of June meant I got to return to Summer Story Fest, courtesy of Outlet and Honeyed Words. Thank y’all so much for having me again! SSF was my first solo art market in a long time, and it was nice to ease back into the experience. Definitely inspiring me for what I want to make next!
Every year, I get so inspired by seeing pictures from the Gallery Nucleus Salut! Coaster show. I also found these four wood ovals while thrifting recently, so I decided to make my own series of mini paintings! This is Intuition o-iii (in order). Post graduation, I’ve been thinking a lot about my artistic practice, outside of what others expect. I’ve slowly but surely been attempting to reconnect with my creative instincts, and this series is one of the results of that! Two of these are soon to be stickers as well… :)

My next mini project in terms of TTRPGs is going to be giving Out for Delivery a bit of a face lift! Over the last year, over 150 copies have been sold via IPR, which blows my mind! I’m so happy people are enjoying it.
OFD was initially created as a class project, and after selling it at a few markets, I’ve noticed some changes I’d like to make with the formatting, so I’m going to be phasing out the first edition to make way for something more polished!
If you’re familiar with the game, is there anything you’d like to see added? Any changes you’d want to make? In the mean time, keep an eye on my itch page for the announcement when that new edition drops.
Thank you for reading, and see you next month!

Coming Soon
I won’t be making any appearances at events this month, but in August I will be returning to Tacoma Zine Fest! Excited to make my way to Washington once again.
