This piece got claimed by an ecstatic woman at DomCon LA that loved finding out that the Lesbian Avengers was a real activist organization. In case of an emergency, I’m a hostage. I should make a card of this.
This was actually supposed to run last Sunday, but things got out of hand. Notice the paddle gallery got posted in the middle of the week, something I set up to automatically post. The driving gig employees voted to authorize a strike Saturday, and we could walk any day now. We held the meeting in a church where I shouted to remind them that there are no “those guys” in the Teamsters, it is “just us!” We are the union. I had to walk out for air after that, but I got a lot of compliments after that and it may have helped.
Just part of the booth. This was before the paddles ran out. Many kind thanks to Mistress Cyan for the booth space.
DomCon was awesome. Recovering was a difficult, but even harder was going back to the mundane tasks of the driving gig. Working the convention was not the hard part, even when volunteering for breakdown. Monday morning after the show, I woke up happy, made myself a decadent egg sandwich with cheese and bacon, and was doing great until I put my work hat on. Then the dread fell on me like a heavy black cloud. I’m serious. It was like the weight just draped over me.
Wand Rider cards ran out at the show, and a Domme claimed the original.
But the show itself was great. The paddles were a huge hit. They’re all gone. I made more blanks on Memorial Day. During the show, Mistress Kayla of Irongate Studios claimed dibs on the Eat My Valentine paddle. I completely spaced when another Domme wanted both Valentine paddles and Wand Rider. Mistress Kayla was pissed, but appeased when I told her those were original art prototypes and I could make her a replacement.
The design for Kayla’s paddle. This one is going to be a clear label placed onto the paddle, then clear coated and sealed. Technically, it’s still a prototype, but one of the first where I experiment with printing on the paddles.
Last Sunday, I spent the morning cleaning up the artwork and adding more color to the piece. When I finish a piece, it looks clean. I erase pencil lines, and go over the artwork thoroughly to check for anything. But when these pieces with bright whites and clean lines go into the computer, suddenly everything looks filthy and every flaw is magnified 100 times. Full black areas suddenly have tiny white holes and grey zones. The scan is in color. So I had to touch up the color as well. You’d think this is tedious and painful. Truth be told, it can be a lot of fun. It’s like when we had coloring books as a kid. It just takes a lot of time. So I sat there with a mug of cocoa and coffee and playing with a rubber slave eating out the ass of his Mistress for Mistress Kayla’s paddle.
Facesitting Santa ran out first. Look for more Christmas fetish cards coming by October.
The cards did well. For the first time, I kept track of which ones moved fastest. The Christmas cards went first. Wand Rider ran out, and the cartoons were a hit.
This was a big hit at DomConLA. I’m planning to list cards individually on Etsy very soon. Click here to check out the cartoon cards.
I swear, I’m not even sure how to tag this one…
I met up with the guy who commissioned the furry pic last year and disappeared. Found out he had some serious problems come up and couldn’t get back to me. He was very happy with the piece and it worked out.
These did ok, but got a lot of compliments and I’ve sent a copy over for Transformation. Most of the hardcore cards did not do well.
Transformation wants to run my gender-bent artwork. DDI wants to run some pieces. I think Goddess Soma Snakeoil wants to comission some pieces for DDI, but I’m not sure. I have to send out DomCon photo galleries this week courtesy of slaveboy julia.
Coming soon on Etsy as a greeting card.
Look for new cards coming soon on Etsy. I’ll also be listing cards individually soon. I’ve also found a solution for shipping the 20 pack. So, I’m off to do more drawing today, and a lot of paddle sanding.
