Century-old Old Sport+ May's Apparel and Prints Interest Check

Hey Old Sport!

Our boy turns 100!

First off- HAPPY BELATED GREAT GATSBY 100TH ANNIVERSARY! The Great Gatsby turned a century old on April 10th ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ),٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ Jay’s been our beautiful fool for 100 slutty, slutty years. While I was overwhelmed with publishing gigs last month, I was finally able to work on an anniversary mock cover! (1 of 2 Gatsby anniversary illustration, I’ll be working on the second mid May)

I have plans to make gold foil prints of this illustration!

CUNTRY COWBOY ACT II and status of ACT I

ACT I: Thankfully, my manufacturer was able to ship the shirts before this tariff nonsense started to take effect. There was a little hold up in the timeline, but I’ve been updated that they should arrive to me by the end of next week! I’m super excited to finally have the first of 777 Saint Monroe apparel in hand and to send them on their way.

If you’ve preordered and may have recently relocated since November or plan to move within the month, please check your email for an additional notification from me (check your spam too just in case). I’m double-checking I have the correct addresses ahead of time, so if you have moved, please reply back to the email I’m sending out with your updated address- thanks!

I did get to order extra shirts in this shipment, so if you missed the initial preorder, I’ll be sending off the pre-orders first » will bring the additional apparel to my upcoming Artist Alley» then put my remaining stock online. I’ll make sure to send out a newsletter and make some noise on my socials when this happens!

ACT II: I’ve been keeping an eye on the ever-changing tariff charade as well as staying in contact with my manufacturer. I’m deciding to go ahead and AT LEAST make the sample for the CUNTRY Crop Top that was in the initial Kickstarter (trying to be optimistic despite it all). I’ve made a mock-up and am excited for this eventual sample.

I’ve also cleaned up this collection’s mascot- the CUNTRY Cowboy themself- and would love to make enamel pins!

Upcoming Prints and Apparel Interest Check

Speaking of new art, I’d like to try out doing interest checks for potential products. This way I can get a feel of how many of y’all would potentially want certain things (prints, pins, apparel, zines, standees, etc).

Poll Here!

Even if the answer may be “No” or “Potentially later” for some of the items, I’d really appreciate the feedback, as it helps guide me on what things you’d like from me in the future.

MomoCon is here!

MomoCon for Atlanta, GA is coming in hot May 22- 25th. Super excited for my first Artist Alley and to potentially see some of y’all there!

I’m still working on my table set up and full catalogue, but I’ll have many postcards, stickers, sticker sheets, prints, pins, and the CUNTRY Cowboy ACT I top.

My booth will be AA 2406 (still need to make my little map icon so keep your eyes peeled for that)

Patreon Tier updates

Lastly, I’ve updated my Patreon tiers.

I’ve been rushing a lot for months now to make unique, monthly stickers and postcards as physical rewards, as well as weekly 18+ erotic work for my patrons. I really don’t like rushing my work, and it very much does take a toll on me physically, so this is what I’ve adjusted:

Stickers and Postcard rewards will be given out every other month. So every February, April, June, August, October, and December. This way, I can ideally have a month buffer to work on both rewards as well as get other work done without so much stress. (This extra time will particularly come in handy once I can dive into the Gatsby comic)

18+ Erotic art aka “Fervid Fridays” will be bi-monthly posts on- you guessed it- Friday. For instance, this month I’m utilizing the time to sketch a scene for one post, then have it finished in the next Fervid post. In other instances, I may post 2 different black and white drawings or work on a short erotic comic. I’d really love to make a zine and prints in the future!

Prices for the tiers are unchanged, just the frequency of the rewards. I’d just like to make sure I’m putting out my best, especially for patrons who will be receiving this art!

And that about sums up this newsletter!

Thanks for being patient with me- from new art to apparel to taking a minute to draft up newsletters- doing my best to create new art and keep y’all up to date, and I appreciate y’all sticking around and supporting me.

Til then.

Stay rad, Old Sport,

-Vincent
