Doing the last round of merch photos for a pal, laying down next to my favorite helper, dollar store craft board. It’s awesome to hang outside and take a million photos of beautiful merch 🥲

In my limited free time, I've been thinking of making a small bifold wallet to look like a leaf, and a more utilitarian crossbody bag... I try to break apart each piece of a design with the material in mind before committing to any kind of merch making.
I don't leave my house much and have been a little looser with masking (a personal failing?), except in crowded places and events, but I'm going to start wearing it more consistently again. Glad wastewater testing for COVID is still happening around here.
sorry to my followers for also posting so much recently. I think my body is really suffering from drawing for 14+ hours a day and being stuck at my computer drives me crazy. Will go back to intermittent posting soon.

Been thinking of restarting my Furry accounts again, mostly because I would love to participate in the smaller alleys again just to draw people's characters... but I have no dedicated spot for all the furry art I've drawn in years past... also any PNW folks have any pointers or spaces I should know?
The amount of youtubers I watch suddenly making cruise videos feels like some sort of psyop. And it's working.
Hey so uhh...medical expenses are hitting again. This time UTMB is trying to get a collector on my ass for $1500. If y'all could spare a bit to help a girl out that would be very welcome so here's my ko-fi. In the meantime I'm going to start cracking on my commissions.

Maybe someday will finish this character sheet racing/roadtrip AU of some of my OCs
Cleaning my garage and found some old ink drawings. Miss having time to ink traditionally.
Speaking of pricing merch, it’s insane that I paid 255 dollars for a sticker (my car tab)
Wrote a bit about how I price my products and why. It’s been kind of this ongoing problem I have at shows and finally wrote my thoughts on it! chanchauart.com/blog/2026/9/...
Merchandise Pricing and Philosophies — Chan Chau
Hi Folks, When I'm at conventions, I find myself often confronted (quite literally) about my pricing. Not necessarily because I charge too much, but more so because I charge too little for my product...

Worried about the people on Nextdoor posting like they're leaving final notes from deep inside a pyramid.
![A next door email that reads "Your [redacted] neighbors
I'm trapped.
We can't open the door. "](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7k2esvunwcn4c6cr3ejifit4/bafkreiaunjqkgrs5rqzyfnyu4k2esgmgkklmye5vlhb3qlraxwi34mp44a)
I had a lot of folks ask me about seeking agents lately, and just an FYI! DVPit is happening tomorrow, so brush up on the rules at @dvpit.bsky.social !!!
I had some folks come up to me during the convention and mention my "toning" guide and how it has helped them over the years. It's not the most comprehensive, and prepress pals should look away, but it's for those interested in how I separate my tones into steps. chanchauart.com/blog/2022/6/...
Hi friends, I am participating in a symbolic pilgrimage in October where we walk a physical path reflecting the historic path from WWII Japanese American incarceration to current ICE detention centers. If you're in the area, please check out our public events, especially the Solidarity Day at NWDC
Things I wish had museums or statues in Minnesota: -James Hong related things -MST3K celebration stuff in Hopkins Being jumpscared by the address while watching MST3K made me realize there was nothing in town while living there.
Today's the last day to buy the physical version of my Bulletproof Drive!
Andrew Brian George@andrewgeorge.bsky.social · 4w agoHotwire Insolve: Bulletproof Drive is still available for purchase! Buying the comic helps me out greatly, and keeps me making more! The digital comic is $5, and there's a $10 pre-order for a physical version up on Ko-fi! ko-fi.com/andrewbgeorg... patreon.com/andrewbgeorge andrewbgerorge.itch.io
With Control coming out, I'm remembering back then when I made hairpins based on Jesse's director suit. Kind of my first run at making jewelry-esque things. I learned a lot from it, and was happy with the second run with real gold plating. This is a photo and not a mock up btw LOL

I know I can call myself a "Small business," but it's hard for me to even consider that when I really don't want to be one. I'm just a guy making things because I like it and love the experience of making physical objects, who also barely opens their shop ever and ships things out at a snails pace.
Perhaps if I was more extroverted I would organize a doujinshi event in Seattle/Tacoma. I'm like fine doing everything else except talking to venues, which is the most important part to organizing events LMAO
If any one of the books you love becomes a success it’s a green light to publishers to fund more weird, beautiful comics. Even if you can’t afford to buy a book, recommending it to two people who can moves mountains for the people in the machine who want to make good art.
