MoCCA Fest this past weekend was wonderful! We really learned a lot from our first con experience, and gave away plenty of promo cards. We were left with a lot of merchandise, however, including buttons and prints. If you'd like one, check out the Goodies page on the Three of Swords website: http://threeofswords.melzayasart.com/goodies.html Speaking of Three of Swords, the website underwent a huge revamp recently! It's now more colorful, easier to navigate, and hopefully more fun to use. Readers can now even comment on chapters! Check it out and let us know what you think! http://threeofswords.melzayasart.com/index.html Reminder too that

Hey there! This April, my sister and co-writer Brittany and I are running a Three of Swords table at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Fest. We're hoping to promote Three of Swords as well as my artwork, which means selling lots of merchandise! To fund getting merch made (including postcards, buttons, prints, and even Three of Swords preview books), I'm hoping to take on some commissions in February and March. If you'd like me to draw something for you, please check out my prices below! All original pieces barring digital files will be mailed to you. Prices are subject to change. 1. Pencil sketches - One person: $10 Each additional person
