Prints of the new phoenix design hit the shop this past weekend! Take a look (more to come in the next few weeks): Fiery colors obviously work best with the theme of the design, but I kind of really want to do one in a blue-green. Could I get away with that, do you...

This past weekend I created a new screen, and printed it up. Behold, the Dragonflight Dreams dragon in wearable form! I'm keeping the blue shirt for myself, but will be printing up some dragon apparel for the Etsy shop this week.
