-🤯💣💥I know I've been super quiet for a few months, but all for good reason as I have...perhaps the most exciting project/commission I could ever announce working on. Anyone who knows me or follows me knows I've been a huge fan of 'Over the Garden Wall' for a long time- well many months ago I received the amazing opportunity to work with The Blasting Company, the band who did the music for this wonderful show, to create limited edition Lino Prints for their shop! All 200 PRINTS I HAND PRINTED ARE NOW available in their store!!! This collaboration is quite literally a dream come true for me (I own three different vinyls of just the OTGW Soundtrack alone! OMG!)🤯💣💥-

-I am so so excited to announce that I will be releasing an interactive online flipbook preview of 'The Pomegranate Princess,' at a 'choose your own price,' basis!!! This story will take a long time for me to fully complete and develop, so I thought it was the right time to allow people to see the fully colored preview- but not just as a regular pdf. This flipbook has music and secret links hidden throughout the whole book- that take you to articles, images, and songs relating to Armenian history, poetry, mythology, and more!! The Flipbook will be released December 20th!-

-Hi everyone- I know this isn't like my usual posts, and I know I also haven't been posting a lot lately either. The truth is that emotionally this has been a pretty difficult time for me. Being Armenian and simply watching the destruction of my people and their indigenous lands, the way the international community and governments have all the power and ability to help but simply do not care enough. It becomes extremely evident in the cases of Ukraine and Israel, how the world can respond in 24 hours- makes it even more painful when the people of Artsakh were in a blockade for 9 months, and begged for help for 9 months. This sense that our little country, our people simply were never important enough and still are not important enough brings me grief. The monastery where our alphabet was written, the ancient burials and beautiful memorials, the orchards passed down through generations, have now all been taken. But despite the fact that many times I have no energy, that I want to sit and stew in this grief, my action is needed, and I hope as well that you can share this project and help.

There are over 100,000 Armenian refugees that were displaced from Artsakh into Armenia. 100,000, and they need help. They need food and housing and aid, and many Armenian fundraisers and organizations are working around the clock to help these people. Organizations like All for Armenia are one of many. I have started a digital zine project, Split Pomegranate: Sacred Seeds with the goal of 100% of proceeds to be donated and provide aid. I am currently taking artists and writers and already have 80 contributors! Though I am mainly taking Armenian artists I will take anyone who truly cares enough to wish to contribute to this project- You can read more about the logistics here on the website:

Signups close on Oct 14th- thank you kindly, and wishing you strength

-💫Nareh’s father, the Father of Stars, a lonesome man of the cosmos who can only contact his children through dreams and omens. He considers Nareh his favorite, as he relates to her loneliness and is very invested in her making Allies and friends💫-

-💙🌊Arax the River Princess, sister of Tsovik and Nareh. Known for being the sensitive and emotional one, she worried greatly about her sisters, and feels everything so deeply! Arev the sun prince fell in love with her sensitive heart and emotional nature, and he gifted to her two storks, a symbol of the sun in Armenia, and the River people, her own subjects🌊💙-

-🌸🌸🌸I am SO SO genuinely excited to present my COLOR CHANGING PEONY PIN, developing the idea for this pin was a lot more complex than my other pins because this material has not really been used in any enamel pins on the market before- so I had no idea if it would actually work. It was a risk but it turned out so worth it, if you love peonies, you know they change colors over time as they bloom, that's what I wanted to reflect in this special pin!🌸🌸🌸-

-🌿Illustration of Nareh with backgrounds inspired by the work of Armenian artist Martiros Saryan- the way he painted Armenian landscapes and life with vibrant colors is such an important artstyle to me, and a big inspiration in terms of my characters and their culture🌿-
