I made the announcement on twitter already BUT: the storenvy shop will be closed for about three weeks starting on the 21st, so if you want something from there before then you should get on it! I just ordered Some New Things and the Ulrich sigils are getting restocked, finally, so you can grab one if you missed out on the first run once we reopen. I’ve also decided after this arc is over I’m closing the teepublic shop indefinitely and I don’t think either of the designs will be available once I decide to offer shirts again, so do what you will with that info.

Thanks!

AAAAH i’m not sure if you just did it, or this change is not as recent, but you added the ship in background of the kc page! Pretty neat (directly left for those curious).

I knew Some of Those Things, but not that you’re also closing the teepublic store. Hmm, do I want the Ulrich shirt? I already have the (bloody) Phin one. But Some New Things sounds great!

  I still sorta like the Ulrich design, I miiight redo that one at some point in the future if people want? I dunno shirts just haven’t sold in a good minute and the art’s getting real outdated, I’ve had a lot more luck with small trinket type stuff and tbh I like designing those more anyway! Shirts are cool but they’re a lot harder to design and produce, and way more expensive. It’s just kinda stressing me out at this point haha
  
  (Thank you for buying one btw!! <3 I hope it's been good to you)

    Have you considered opening a shop on Society6 or Redbubble? They take care of payments and making the products and shipping and etc and etc and etc. Society6 even takes care of sales tax. They have some fun products too.
    You can even sell shower curtains on Society6. 😛
    and you might have some success selling stickers via Redbubble.

      I know a lot of people who use those! The problem with apparel there is they’re reeeally limited about like color and design, which was most of my problem with teepublic. They also jack up the price a lot even before I make any profit and have really high payout systems so if I don’t make enough the money would just sit on their website. I hate to think readers are trying to support me and most of their dollar goes to this random company, you know?
      
      And as far as the charms and things go I really don’t mind filling out orders and stuff! I like personally making sure the quality is good on what I’m sending out and I get to do fun things like sketchcards and cute packaging haha. Small things like stickers and buttons and miniprints are definitely doable, clothing just gets real complicated unfortunately

    (It has! I got it in a small, and it fits perfectly. Easily one of my favorite t-shirts.)

100% unrelated but I just found the Patron page, I haven’t really ever visited it cause I figured most of it would be locked off for stingy folks like myself BUT HOLY SHIT I DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT WAS AN ARCHIVE OF THE OLD VOTE INCENTIVES!!!!!!! AND THE 4TH CREW MEMBERS THERE AND IT SORT OF WORKS WITH THIS THEORY IVE HAD GOING FOR A WHILE AAAAAAA

I ain’t gonna post it here cause spoilers but just scroll down the patron page till you see green to find them. //////what follows is spoilers/////
OKAy so it was established a while back when Jocasta and Hazard were having their conversation that Phineas was sort of A doppelganger of both Crow and Jocasta, And with the recent reveal of Maggie It got me thinking, what every member of Phineas crew is the combined equivalent of previous two crew members of Crows Murder, with each member having two doppelgangers. and what if there’s a pattern

Phin is already super obvious but a neat detail was that her main colour orange is a mix of Crows yellow and Jocastas red.

I believe that Ulrich is a doppelganger of both Raven and Maggie, his affinity for blue, magic and wordplay he takes from Raven; and charisma, Brown and wanderlust he takes from Maggie. Those colors don’t really mix well but he does wear both individually.

Blue haired cyborg is…. werid. I can’t really get too much plot details from these sketches (cute as they may be) But it does solidify the idea that the Murder had more than four members, as I can’t really line his characteristics up with any of the current murder. possibly Raven but i can’t say anything for sure. Light blue, almost white.

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK HELLO His affinity for flames make it seem that Jocasta makes up 1/2 of this equation, and the gangly hair makes me think Raven. Additionally his symbol (It’s the green one in the extras page in a big circle) has a Yin and Yang in the center, and since Raven and Jocasta are basically the poster children for seemingly opposite or contrary forces actually being complementary It seems to fit really well. The only thing is red + blue makes purple and his color is clearly green.
The other option that makes sense is he’s Crow + Raven, again yin and yang work as a symbol and the colour lines up, but the flames and the bush walker gear make me think otherwise. Like no doppelganger of Crow would dress practically.
unless that’s just actually dusk or someone idk bUT LEFT EYE

Thank u for reading this delusional mess I’ll get back to the string board gg

  I don’t think the conversation between Jocasta and Raven insinuated that Phin was a doppelganger of both Jo and Gideon. Pretty sure Raven thinks Phin is the doppelganger of Crow, but in this convo, the similarities between Phin and Jo were brought up because Phin was raised by Jo, for the most part. So, she would have some influence on Phineas’ personality.
  
  Skipping ahead, we get to when Raven is dying, after the fight with Phin, and he says “There must be one of you in every world. Maybe every Raven is meant to spend their days chasing after you.” Raven clearly thinks Phin and Ulrich are doppelgangers of himself and Gideon. Maybe he means this literally, or anecdotally, I’m unsure. He might not even be right (in universe).

  Ha, I’m not sure if you watched the goofy little patreon video I have up there but I think I mention accessibility is a big deal to me? I give away way too much shit for free because it’s important to me that people have access to art and stuff even if they can’t always afford it. When I was younger I wouldn’t have been able to read comics if they weren’t free online so I try to pay it forward as much as I can! I def don’t hold paywalls against others at all though, relying on reader support is bad business and it’s why I make less than a dollar an hour working on these pages but what can u do
  
  I’m always down for some delusional messes ayyy
