I can’t wait for you to meet Daisy and Heath, and if you preorder a signed copy from Under the Cover or Scribbles Bookshop, your order will include all sorts of Heath & Daisy approved goodies such as: 🌼 Tattoo Money coin purse keychain (like the kind you had when you were little!) 🌼 SFW Art Vellum by Gilded Ruin or NSFW Art Vellum by Saffron Gin 🌼 SFW Art Print by Gilded Ruin or NSFW Art Print by Saffron Gin 🌼 Sticker Sheet by Marley Ward All preorders will be signed by hand. You can order from Under the Cover, Scribbles Bookshop, or any of Julie’s event tour stops, which are TBA. Preorder early if you can! All Nighter releases in the middle of the holliday season, and it’s important that stores know how many to order during such a high stress time for distribution and shipping. (It also means that your order is more likely to arrive to you without any hiccups!)

ONE WEEK LEFT✨ One week to prœder. One week to get tickets to tour. One week to talk to your local indies. One week until my dream comes true 😭 Lethal Kiss is almost here, and I could not be prouder of this dark academia that breaks the mold. Relentlessly and deliberately high camp. Viciously feminist. A takedown of the patriarchy in a way that’ll make old men uncomfortable. October 20, @tornightfire ♥️ . . . #onemoreweek #darkacademiabooks #horrorromance #tornightfire

Critter Deck: A Critical Role Stamp Rally event at MCM London! 🤩 
Critters! To celebrate the return of the Critical Role cast to @mcmcomiccon, we have organised something really special for you!

Critter Deck is an illustrated collectable card stamp rally event, divided into 4 stamp rallies: one for each campaign (Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, Bells Hells and Campaign 4). 
 You can choose to participate in ANY individual campaign rally, independently of the others, and you will receive a pack of themed cards for that campaign upon completion. Or… do as many as you like! 😉
 For those ambitious enough to complete ALL 4 rallies, a secret fifth card pack prize awaits… 👀 Be aware: prize packs are limited! And each person may only collect one stamp sheet per campaign. 📍Here is how the rally will work:
You can find names and locations of each participating artist in this post.
At the event, head to one of the Starting Tables for the rally you want to join (indicated in the next slide). In exchange for purchase, you will receive your rally sheet and your first stamp.
From there, visit every artist in your chosen campaign rally and collect all the stamps.
The rally sheet will indicate everyone’s position and at what table to collect your prize once you’re done! 🤩

Each campaign rally has 5-6 participating artists (for a total of 22 artists across all 4 rallies) and there is no minimum spending amount (meaning that ANY purchase counts towards the rally), to keep them as easy and affordable as possible to complete. 🙏 Each card is 55x85mm (similar to a photocard or business card), and will feature an illustration with one or two characters on the front, and the campaign rally logo on the back. IG doesn’t let us tag everyone in the image, but please know that @avivorartist, @caitmayart and @doodle.list are also part of the project!🙌🙌🙌 Aaaaand… you’ll find out one final surprise at the event itself! 👀😉

If you still have questions, drop them in the comments, and we’ll make sure to explain everything!☺️🙏

Is it MCM London yet? 😍

I turn 29 years old today and oh my god what an amazing year 28 was!! I’m beyond grateful to have spent the last year making art, seeing that art in places I never imagined in a million years it might end up, traveling across the country and then also around the world peddling my wares to the kindest crowds, binge-watching SO much Survivor, and of course playing lots of DND — and all of this made even better and brighter because I got to do it alongside my wonderful wife and fabulous friends! I feel staggeringly lucky that there are more people that left me with happy memories this year than I am capable of tagging or even naming right now. Thank you for every happy moment, and here’s to another year of them!! 🍰❤️💕
