Is to draw up something nice for friends I'm close to or people I've known decently to the point of knowing what they like (rainbow cupcakes, scrupulous robots, collecting wisdom teeth, etc).
It's just to show that I appreciate your friendship, and the internet is not very good at making things a lot more intimate and personal. So I had to work on something to make up for it. Thank goodness you guys are not like my Mum! A lovely picture would do already, not an expensive branded item!
The thing I usually do is to:
1. Make a list (easy part, since most are the same people, but there are new ones too)
2. Come up with a unique concept for each individual (whether or not you get something highly rendered is up to luck + inspiration rather than favouritism, but I try to keep them the same standard)
3. Finish my gifts early and wait until Christmastime, when I can post them all at once.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT ALLOW ME TO WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS TIME, WHICH THREW PROCRASTINATION OUTTA THE WINDOW. I would be occupied with something during Christmas week or before, and since I'm working on my Project...
So now this year's system would be:
I would be drawing a gift to someone once the concept is thought of, then post it as soon as it's finished. Who gets it first and who gets it last is up to luck and inspiration.
I wonder about putting up the list of the 13 people here who are getting the gifts, but OH NO NO NO NO NO.

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
