We’re here in 2026! Can you believe it? I sure can’t!!
We’re coming to you under a blanket of snow to chat about our plans for this year and where we’re at right now. So let’s dig right in, shall we?
New Artbooks
So one of the things we wanted to make this year were collections of artwork from our future stories, and lo and behold, they’re our first books of the year! And they’re even available now on our shop, both as physical copies and as PDFs!
Bound by Bounty is the concept zine for our future graphic novel, The Farewell Tour. This is a scifi story following the alien Jax, a washed up rockstar, trying to escape his life and running into the bounty hunter, Raddley. The two lives become intertwined as they struggle with their histories and futures.
The book is 52 pages, containing plenty of concept artwork and bits of the script we have for it! The end also has a few pages of adult artwork, so this book is 18+ only!
Moby Dykes is the concept zine for our future illustrated story, From Hell’s Heart (working title, it might change). It follows the story of Lucy, a grumpy one-armed captain, Bonnie, a capricious werewhale, and Jiminy, a strange weresquid. A trio of butches and their moody, nautical world.
The book is 72 pages, with lots of artwork and concepts, as well as two short stories about Bonnie and Jiminy’s pasts. This one also ends with some adult artwork at the end, so it is also 18+ only!
New Stickers
Aside from the books, we also added a bunch of new stickers to the shop:
We have some leftover stickers from the dinosaur card Kickstarter, where you can choose between any of the kings from either the Theropods or Ceratopsians deck!
We also converted the harness charms into stickers, and added two more to the fray!
Shop Clearance Sale!
On top of all this, we’re also running a huge clearance sale on the shop right now until March!
We’re starting the new year by moving out with the old to make way with the new. Therefore, a lot of our products are heavily discounted! And anything that runs out, will be out for good. This includes a lot of our pins, some even from our popular Greek Myth and Universe sets.
Be sure to pick some up before they’re gone! Additionally, all orders above $60 will also get a free mystery item included!
Plans for 2026
We’re entering a whole new era for this year–or at least, it feels like it. With the finishing of Fangs and All (release date TBA), we’re officially no longer on contract with a publisher, after over 6 years of being in one. This is both exciting and terrifying, as you can imagine. We’re back into the pitching trenches! That’s been a pretty big focus so far as we chart the course for this year.
Here’s a loose plan of what we’d like to accomplish:
- Get a new pitch out and on submissions. Both Winter and I have been brainstorming and picking away at ideas we’d like to really get started on.
- Do more furry conventions. Technically this is already done, as we have furry cons lined up first! More on that later.
- Reprint the Pretty Boy hats. We weren’t able to do so last year, so this year we’d love to bring it back!
- Focus less on pins, more on stickers. There’s a lot of reasons for this, but we’re more than happy to shift our focus on stickers!
- Do more consignment…? We’d really love to get our merch in more stores, after the success of the Artist Alley Shops!
- Make a new blanket design. I’ve already got a sketch idea for one…
- Print Chapter 2 of Augustine. This was also something we wanted to do last year, but couldn’t fit it in. Hopefully this year!
- Get Augustine translated…? We’ve been meaning to get our works translated to French for years. It would mean a lot for us to do so!
- ….GET MARRIED? This is, of course, more personal than business, but the both of us are committed to finally making the wedding happen this year!
Conventions
Before we end this off, we already have a bunch of conventions we’re confirmed for–including our first couple furry cons, which of course had to be practically back-to-back as our first cons.
Here’s what we have so far:
VANCOUFUR – Vancouver, BC // March 5-8
Furnal Equinox– Toronto, ON // March 20-22
Calgary Expo – Calgary, AB // April 23-26
Montreal ComicCon – Montréal, QC // July 3-5
More will certainly be added as we get confirmations on our applications. Still an exciting start!
Hoping you all have a good new year. 2026 already seems very daunting, in a lot of ways. 2025 was very uncertain, and this year looks to be the same. Stay strong, stay safe, and think of your neighbours and friends.
Cheers,
W&W
