SDCC is here...SDCC is EVERYWHERE! After SDCC ended last year, I’m not sure anyone could imagine the changes that 2020 would bring. But, even if we can’t gather to enjoy an amazing couple of days together in San Diego, the spirit of the event is very much alive in SDCC Online which just launched last night! I’ve been working on a lot of new products to add to the shop, including Book [...]
STICKY UPDATE, BATMAN! It's so so so....sticky!! I'm excited to share this new stuff with you. I've been slowly adding new mug designs as well as cute stickers, sticker sets, and coming VERY soon, new sticker SHEETS to the shop! Shop For Some Kyootness Yall! I designed most of these live, so if you want to catch [...]
Let's color some letters together! These last few weeks have not been easy for anyone. I hope you’re all doing ok and are staying safe! I want to provide a little light and distraction, so I’ve put together the first of several coloring books that I’m releasing for free. :) This first set is a coloring book of the Illustrated ABC’s, which I hope will be helpful and fun especially for those now [...]
2020 is already going by fast! Here we are already in February when it FEELS like New Year's was just yesterday. This year is starting off pretty well. :) Especially on the comics front! I'm pushing to get more content out so a Vol 2 of the Book of Kyoot will be ready for SDCC! That means at least 2 comics per week, and possibly a colored version of a very special short [...]
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! From all of us at BeKyoot, we hope today and the New Year ahead are full of joy and wonderful things!
WINTER PIN PREORDER I am so excited and proud to share these pins with you. I wanted to do a few Winter/Christmas themed pins this year and working on these designs was a treat. The Floof Joy pin is based off a Christmas comic I did last year, and the Snuggle Puddle Pin is based off of Coconut and Tuxie forming a real snuggle puddle whenever the weather turns cold! Life inspiring art, as [...]
A little bit each day + repetition = new skill! There’s a short clip of an interview with David Bowie that I love and have tried to keep in mind through all of my creative endeavors. I turned this into a comic just a few weeks ago. Recently I finished Atomic Habits by James Clear and there were several sections inside that reminded me of it: Pushing a little [...]
Are you ready for Fall and Halloween? I am sooooo ready!!! I love this time of year and getting to draw so many fun illustrations. Inktober is coming up too and I'm already planning out what I'll be doing this year for my traditional sketches each day. To kick things off, I’m releasing a very limited Halloween Pin set! The pins are available individually as well as in a [...]
It's just 5 days, but every year they go by so fast. Wow. What a year this was at SDCC! Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by the booth! It flew by quickly as it always does, but this year seemed particularly brisk. Maybe it was all the excitement around the giant Momocheet that welcomed people into the booth? It's hard to predict what designs will lead a [...]
Another year has gone by and another SDCC is upon us, with a lot of changes arriving along with it. For the past several years BeKyoot has been in the far far far upper left corner of the Exhibit Hall, so close to Hall H that we could hear the rumble of screams and speakers as popular panels were underway. For SDCC 2019 we are in a new location, booth 2449, right in [...]
Summer is always an exciting time of the year. San Diego Comic Con (BOOTH 2449!! Be there!!) is coming up again in mid-July which means all of May and June are devoted to bringing new things to life for BeKyoot. This year I am making some BIG changes to the booth that I am really excited to unveil. Two new books will be available this summer as well as 5 new pin designs and [...]
Artblock is a pervasive problem for anyone who creates, so here are my tips on how to break through it and set yourself up for a fresh creative streak! Though not the same thing, artblock and burnout share a lot of similar qualities in my mind. One can very much be the result of the other. In both situations, it’s hard to find something that ignites your passion to [...]
