My wall of (fan)art is slowly growing and NOTHING makes me happier than looking at it. Before The Roots, I've never received fanart before, yet her we are 😭

✨I got sick with shingles of all bloody things
✨started marinating a new project (this one is writing/art hybrid!!)
✨marketing is stil black magic 😆

Don’t know how else to say this but from today I am a published author!! 🎉🫣 it feels very surreal, the journey has been long and I don’t think it has hit me yet that today is THE day.
Either way, thank you for all the support, I really couldn’t have done it without you ❤️

Just going to say that writing the book has made me learn SO many new things!! Most of them unexpected like: how to create cut file for stickers, how to appeal when your paypal account gets randomly banned by their "intelligence", and how to format a book for print in less than 20 attempts :D
