Hey guys (and robots)! If you're not already aware, I recently finished Vol I of my webcomic (which you can read here), and I'm in the midst of planning a Kickstarter for a printed book! I'm just writing this journal to let you know I've set up a project landing page AND a newsletter for you to follow the development of the book directly.
Project landing page: reimenayee.com/the-carpet-merc…
Newsletter: tinyletter.com/reimenayee
I'm currently doing the cover art, the artwork for the enamel pin, editing the pages for silly mistakes, and waiting on the quotes for the book specs + fulfillment service. I'll send my very first newsletter once I get some art done!
Please subscribe! It'll make it easier for me to contact you < 3
Thanks!! Have a lovely day

The Empty Gallery That's Had a Life Elsewhere
Wow dang yall, can't believe the last time I posted was in 2021, during the height of NFTs when bots were scraping the site to put art for fradulent sale. Well well well!! The Non-Fungibles have fallen but all that art generative nonsense has taken its place. Anyway, I have NO idea if AI (especially the ones native to DA) would scrape art that's already been put in private storage... I am not going to find out either. Anyway anyway... [omg somehow DA has this glitch where it keeps randomising my URL links no matter how many times I correct it... just copy and paste the text instead of clicking] My website is taking shape as a proper archive (reimenayee.com). It is still WIP, but with the fall of Twitter as well, I have essentially accelerated my mission to get Everything and Anything on my site so that nothing is lost. Art, tutorials, resources, old pieces of writing, etc. Which is why I am logged back in - I am entering private storage to transfer stuff back into the public, just
The Reason Behind The Mysteriously Empty Gallery
Hi gang, You may notice my DA profile here is pretty sparse - that's cos I've checked in every single piece of my art (13 years worth!) into private storage. Lately there's been a lot of news about bots scraping DA for art to put up for sale as fradulent tokens on crypto-art markets like Open Sea. I have absolutely no confirmation that any of my art/comics were stolen and I don't want to find out - yes I know about DA's reverse search tool -, but I believe that may have happened already. To prevent any further theft (since a lot of these thieves, when reported, simply repost the art later) I've decided to privatise my gallery until these crypto platforms suffer the consequence of allowing fraudulent sales. My gallery's not all gone, and there's no risk of deletion. ATM I am working on making my self-hosted site a robust archive of my old art. In the meantime, you can find my current work in plenty of places, including my webcomic sites and Tumblr. (Plus I will be happy to restore our
i am confusion + life updates
Hi everyone!
It's been ages since I was last on the site - I've been busy! Anyway...
Came back to the site being new and different and I was...confused. I think it's fine aesthetically, but the user design sucks. I couldn't figure out how to catch up on art submissions and journals from artists I follow, and the notifications centre was a sore sight. Luckily there's the option to switch to the old site, so I am not 100% repelled by DA like a vampire to sunlight.
The Carpet Merchant Vol I is now officially a Book in Bookstores. Again, thank you so much for making this reality!!!!!
I finished a new chaplette of The World in Deeper Inspection
The Carpet Merchant Vol II Book Is CROWDFUNDING!!
Because you're all special (you're the first ever audience who I trusted enough to tell you about Vol I in real time, rather than a year later like everyone else)... here's the early access to get the physical hardback of Vol II ---> https://unbound.com/books/the-carpet-merchant-volii
I hope some of you who have backed have gotten your copies safely, and that they are as gorgeous as you expected! Thank you so much for being amazing and sweet and supportive. I cherish every comment and every sign of love. <33
