Another piece in the "SHIFA" series has come to fruition!
I think this one may be my favorite out of the bunch, what do you think?
Continuing my series of illustrations for "STBC! 3: SHIFA" is this piece that has me flashing my grill!
Hope you guys have all had a relaxing and fun Spring Break! Mine has been equal parts hard work and fun time spent outside. The kiddo is into sports for the first time so I've been a little bit AFK, but there's a lot of good coming your way sooner than later! For example:
- New designs for the merch store are coming soon! I've been working on switching up my styles in subtle but effective ways, been watching a few tutorials on improving my art as well so I'm excited to showcase what I've been trying to learn!
- Work on the next self-produced album has begun in earnest and booooooy I feel like this one is gonna be emotional. I just got a special feature in from someone very special and closely in the circles of BTC extended fam, paid members can look forward to hearing more about that soon
- The "tr0glodyte.Renaissance" EP that was once a patreon-exclusive release is getting a public release this year. This is a release given life by ('i's) / Jazz Williams / Chris McCormick, an old collaborator buddy of mine from Scotland who I've done 3 albums with, as well as other features and collaborations. He re-mixed & mastered select cuts from our work together and gave them fresh life!
Those are all the big updates I have for you all for the moment. Hope to see you soon with a more-completed look at the art booklet for "SHIFA" & some more sneak-peeks at the new album!
PEACE!
(Here's a quick peek at the next art piece! 👀
Hey Everyone!
Hope you're doing well as we slow down from the Rollercoaster that has been March and prepare for April!
Things have been super busy over here in The Bear's Den, so let's address some updates!
First & foremost, there's been an adjustment to the paid tiers for the Bear Cub Fan Club. I've been considering it for awhile and I finally pulled the trigger on removing the $5 "Young Bear" Tier, giving its rewards to the $1 "Bear-Cub" tier: This means people who sign up for the Bear Cub Fan Club have a lowered barrier of entry AND get more rewards as a result!
I also lowered the $20 "Ursa Major" tier to $15 (though I'd like to eventually move it to $10 and the middle $15 "Ursa Minor" tier to $5)
I feel like these prices better reflect the overall value of this membership service and I hope you all agree!
Second up to bat, the cassette tapes for "SHIFA" are officially here, and you know what that means! FIRST DIBS ARE UP!
Each tape comes packaged with a 1/1, hand-drawn art trading card!
Don't forget you can also buy the record on CD or VINYL via ElasticStage!
Third, I've updated the actual look and usability of the website by adjusting the drop-down menu at the top of the site, and I've added special pages that explain detailed information on ordering short runs of custom cassette tapes via BearTooth Tapes AND for ordering commissioned artwork via BearTooth Paints!
Now cassette commissions won't be publicly available for a short while, I've got to go back to GA from NY and grab my duplication equipment, but artwork commissions ARE available now!
This will make it infinitely easier for people who have been wanting artwork from me to get in contact and make these things happen in a professional, efficient and thorough manner.
That's all the updates I have for you all this morning!
I hope you're able to make today a great day, I'll hit you guys back soon with another update!
PEACE,
- cunabear
