WE HIT OUR GOAL!!! Thanks everyone!

Preorder ends TONIGHT at 11:59 CST! Last chance to get the exclusive thank you card and stickers. 🧡🎃
Drawing of a silly little scarecrow ghostcat with a happy blushy face and holding a heart. It reads “THANK YOU (In a stitched heart) for supporting our collab!! (In a speed bubble coming from the ghostcat)” with the artists’ signed names on the bottom “🩷 SteelWithTeeth” “🩷gawki” There’s a tiny crow looking so happy in the background. Image showing two exclusive preorder stickers. They’re both scarecrow ghostcats. The first is drawn by @steelwithteeth featuring the ghostcat stuck on a cross looking terrified at a crow pulling its whisker made of hay. The second is drawn by @gawki featuring the ghostcat being carried away by 3 crows aka a murder of crows, and looking worried while wielding a fly swatter instead of a knife” the background is a painting by @gawki called “Together in Chaos”

Mats especially are going up in price when I reopen next time due to tariffs. 🥲

Oh another one, just moved pieces around from a Pascal Campion piece for the background. I did warp the character image a bit because you never know the exact angle he took his own photos and I couldn’t find a non-photo reference of the source without an angle, and still fits.

A rare one he might not have fully traced, but who knows what the preliminary sketch looked like. I didn’t bother looking for the side profile reference of Mufasa or dig very far though.

And more of his own words ~ he's apparently also drinking the anti-trans koolaid.
James C Mulligan comment on FB that reads "It was literally a trans psychopath that hated Christianity."

Now, here’s an excerpt from a James C. Mulligan interview — his words.

“I hope I lie to the world beautifully with my art."

www.artistcloseup.com/blog/intervi...
What is an artist's role in society and how do you see that evolving? "I've heard people say that an artist's job is to tell the truth. I disagree. I think an artist's job is to lie to us in a way that we want to be lied to. We want to believe that Mary Poppins can fly. We want to believe that Monet's lily pads really had that movement and color. I hope I lie to the world beautifully with my art."

The final one. Another comic cover.

This really shows the difference between good art and copied art. Art is good when you can understand context.

Copy cats don’t always make sense: Why is someone in the water? What is he pointing at? Why is his outfit not accurate? It may also be partially AI.

For once, maybe not traced, unless I didn’t find the original. Tshirt from 1982 and an animation cel.

Another animation cel and copied Pedro Astudillo art. 🤥
