Jade. (That’s me - the person writing this.)

I do not even use AI to generate any portion of the art you see here. That includes the product photos and mockups.

By “art”, I’m referring to all graphic design on the site, all of my brand’s logos, the sketches, the inks, the concept art, the finished work, the formatting of the site and the art themselves, and every single word, panel, speech bubble, and sound effect found in my manga.

That’s correct.

I make it all. Me, myself, and I.

I have no interest in using AI to create the art found here and have a strict no scraping policy for this website. (And an attorney to help me enforce it.)

I appreciate your interest in commissioning me for custom work of either your original characters, portraits, or of characters you love. At this time, I’m no longer accepting commissions. If you are interested in influencing what I create and then downloading it for free to print and use for yourself and your community, my Patreon is a great place to do that! It’s low cost, high reward and is something that I love doing. Please check it out!

Yes!

Through my Patreon, you can request characters to be added to future polls and then, during each month, you vote on who you’d like to see me draw. Then, I draw them! Tiers start at as little as $1 per month. I hope you’ll check it out!

All current prints, manga, and art for merch is made in Clip Studio Paint EX/Pro on an XP Pen Pro drawing monitor and XP Pen Pro drawing tablet. My PC is a custom self-built machine designed to optimize video and art rendering.

Additionally, I use design programs like Affinity Design, Affinity Photo, and Canva to create graphics, scale images, and create product mockups. I do not use AI rendering features in these programs for my art, mockups, or graphics.

From a little bit of everything! Classic literature like Orwell, Austen, Wells, and Verne shaped my writing and interests. In manga, I was first inspired by Rumiko Takahashi and CLAMP, but I also admire Hirohiko Araki’s storytelling. I’m a huge fan of animation from Studio WIT, Kyoto Animation, and Studio Trigger. And, when it comes to film, Hitchcock’s work has had the biggest impact on me. I love stories that explore what makes people tick!

It’s actually create in Florida, in my home studio.

The prints you receive from my home studio are printed through Cat Print, which is based in New York. A portion of every purchase I make through them supports schools for diverse, under-privileged populations as well as local cat shelters.

I also support other small businesses and companies from all over the world to help bring my products to your home.

All sales are final, I never want you to have a disappointing experience with your purchase. You work hard to afford things, and it’s important to me to make sure that your time, money, and efforts are not wasted and do not feel wasted.

If you have a disappointing experience or something arrived in an unexpected condition, please let me know by filling out the contact form. That way, I can fix this going forward.

If you plan to return something, please consider donating it to your local shelter (clothing) or by gifting it through a random act of kindness.

It’s important to me that you can readily find all the information you need about a product. This information should be on the product’s page or on the FAQ linked on that page and in the footer.

If you do not find the information you’re looking for there, please contact me by completing the contact form.

I draw most of the art in my home studio in Florida.

I also support other small businesses and companies from all over the world to help bring my products to your home while focusing on keeping products affordable and accessible.

When possible, I prioritize women owned and operated, North American partners.

Sustainability is extremely important to me. I love animals and want to make sure they have safe, beautiful homes for thousands of years to come.

In 2018, I transitioned to printing through Cat Print. This reduced paper and plastic waste in my home studio. By leveraging their services and sustainability goals, we can work together to reduce pollution.

As a digital artist, I’m also not using countless sketchbooks, pencils, paints, or markers on a weekly basis.

I don’t fit into any box. I’m just me.

My preferred pronouns are she/her. You can refer to my brands as “they, it, them”. I refer to the brands as “we/us” as well as “I”, depending on the appropriate tone of voice.

The otter in my logo has no “gender” or “identity”. You’re welcome to refer to it as “it, he, she, they” but please don’t lewd it or sexualize it. Animals are pure creatures. We don’t lewd the animals. Thank you!

I want the spaces I’m part of to feel welcoming for everyone. That’s why I try to lead by example—treating people with respect, being open to different perspectives, and encouraging a positive vibe. Inclusivity isn’t about rules; it’s about showing that it’s totally normal and beneficial to everyone to make space for all people.

I protect it! Like you, I don’t like when my information is sold or shared with other companies that sell it. I do what I can to make sure that doesn’t happen, which includes working with an attorney to make sure our bases are covered. I encourage you to check out my privacy policy. I think you’ll find acceptable. And, if you have concerns, tell me!

Life’s a little crazy right now, and I’ve had to take a step back from Twitch to focus on my mental health and work-life balance while I finish my degree. I appreciate your patience during my hiatus and recommend following me on Twitch, joining the Discord, and following on social so that you can stay in-the-know with any updates to my streaming schedule.

Thank you for all of your love and support at conventions over the past nearly 20 years. Due to health circumstances, I will no longer be regularly exhibiting at conventions.

The best way to stay up-to-date with my convention schedule and appearances is to follow me on social media!

Whenever I confirm events, I post the information on my social media pages, send an announcement via newsletter, and will add the appearance calendar to my website. Please follow and subscribe to my newsletter to stay in-the-know.
