VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Back-to-school when I was a kid was equal parts dread and excitement. On the one hand I was a massive dork, so being around more kids more of the time meant getting made fun of more. On the other hand, I was a massive dork, and I loved the learning part of school.
But that was thirty years ago. In 2021, the dread associated with back-to-school is something completely different. If you’re a kid who understands the pandemic at all or understands the epic way in which we are failing at this group project of not dying en masse, I can’t even imagine what this is like for you. But if you know one such kid or if you are a bigger version of that kid, also known as an adult who has a brain, then I have a present for you. It’s this sticker sheet of Lifesavers Fan Art!
The only way to get it is to support my art on Patreon for $2 or more a month, but you must sign up before the end of August to get these masked up versions of SpongeBob, Rainbow Dash, Yoda, Pikachu, Dora, and Lisa.
And if you pledge $8 or more a month, I will keep sending you new stickers and magnets and postcards every month! A tiny bright spot in the unbearable uncertainty of this pandemic.
Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!
Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? Or perhaps you have a question about my art? I’d love to hear from you!
