Hey Reader,

Last week Stoodmuffin and I were at ContainR next to Sunnyside Station as vendors for A Summer Queer Market, a fundraising event for Walls Down Collective, a grassroots organization that helps people in need. We had a lot of fun and Stoodmuffin saw a lot of familiar faces. I could barely leave my table; it was very busy all day!

Next week Stoodmuffin and I will be vendors at the YYC Pop-up Pride Market at the Bridgeland Riverside Community Park:

My friend Twisted Stitches will also be a vendor there!

​

Here's our little Ace Dino:

​

Now before we go to our next market event, our next Sticker Raffle date is Aug 25! [SPOILER: It will be another Kelsea and Andrea design]

In related news, our Draw This in Your Style Challenge is still open:

There is still a month's time left to enter!

Here's my event lineup for September:

​

Oh wait, what else is new?

I'm done editing the first set of hardcopy proofs and am just about ready to sign off on the next set of proofs. We are one and a half months away from our Kickstarter launch! We have 82 followers on our pre-launch page now!

​

As for my partner Matt (@mattdrawberry), he's doing ok. I'm not sure when we will be launching the online sale of the remaining issues of Quest for Hire chapters 1-3, but rest assured that he's still thumbnailing new chapters, our flatter James (@pant00z) is moving onto chapter 6 and I'll be polishing the next three chapters 4-6 this fall/winter. Matt has one more market lined up for Dec, so it's likely that we will aim for a mid December launch for those of you outside Alberta looking to get copies! Thanks so much for your patience!

​

​

Wishing you a great autumn season!

Cheers,

Achiru
