Hey guys! I just got news that the collab between For Fans By Fans and the Valve store is going to be ending soon (July 31, 2023) and since I do have a design there, I thought I’d give everyone the heads up if they want to grab it before it’s gone!

Prints and Stickers for Sale!!!

Here’s a list of all items I currently have for sale in my shop! If you are interested in purchasing any items please head over to my Ko-Fi shop.

FYI: THE PRINT LABELED “LOST REEL” WAS AVAILABLE ONLY AS A SPECIAL OFFER FOR PERSONAL FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES AND IS NOT AVAILABLE ON MY KO-FI SHOP.

[ID: An information sheet formatted as two purple boxes outlined in green over a black background. The first box is at the very top of the page and takes up only a small portion of room, containing only one line of text written in light purple font. The text reads “Awpie Redacted Prints”. The second box taking up most of the rest of the page contains a series of images and text.

The first and largest image, in the top left corner, shows a realistic scene of space, with a large Jupiter-like planet taking up the foreground, a smaller Mars-like planet aligned to the first further towards the background, and a pinpoint of light like a close star aligned to the two planets further in the background. And in the background itself can be seen distant stars. This image is labeled with text next to it as “Convergence / 18x15 / $30”.

The next image is to the right of the first and it shows a stylized drawing of a black fluffy cat with bright green eyes sitting up and looking to the viewer’s right. The cat’s head and tail both wisp off its body like smoky goo, and the head and tail and underbelly of the cat are all painted with a purple/pink/blue nebula. The cat is outlined in the same greenish yellow as its eyes, and the background behind the cat is another, more pinkish scene of a nebula in space. This image is labeled as “Void (holo) / 6x9.7 / $20 + free Pride Kitty sticker”.

Below the left-side image are two more with a shared label beneath them. The image on the left shows Chell from Portal falling through a portal with another above her as she points her portal gun downwards, and is wearing a smiling, almost excited expression. The image on the right shows The Prisoner from Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye as a burnt photograph looking outside a large viewport aboard the Stranger towards the Eye of the Universe, with the signal blocker mechanism next to them. These two are labeled as “Freefall” and “Lost Reel” respectively with “11x14 / $20” underneath.

Two more smaller images take up the right side of this section. The top of these two images is a morning sunrise painted scene with colorful dense foliage framing the view. The bottom of these two images is another painted scene showing snow-capped mountain peaks and dense snowfall, with a night sky filled with a vibrant view of space and a large moon above. These are labeled as “Sunrise” and “Snowy Peaks” with the additional information of “7.2x6 / $10”.

The last section of the page shows two sets of nine stickers each, both ordered in columns and rows of 3. The stickers on the left are all of a fluffy cat’s face colored in with various different scenic backgrounds. These backgrounds include, from left to right/top to bottom, a scene of a bright green meadow, a blueish pink scene of space with a bright star shining down from the center, a purplish view of a cityscape through a dusty window, the cat’s face painted in bright neon colors evoking an abstract vaporwave vibe, a view of a black hole and its accretion disk in purples and yellows with the face’s outlining inverted from black to white, a pink and orange sunset with clouds, a blue and pink underwater scene with coral in the foreground, another sunset scene but with vibrant plantlife and in colors of the whole rainbow, and a midday scene of a grove of cherry blossom trees in colors of pink and blue and yellow. The other set of stickers all show the same simplistic drawing of a black fluffy cat much like the Void cat above, all holding a flag in its mouth but each flag showing a different pride flag. In order from left to right/top to bottom those flags are ace, aro, nonbinary, lesbian, rainbow, trans, pan, bi, and progress pride flags. This whole section is labeled with “Painted Kitty / 3in / $5” and “Pride Kitty (holo) / 2.3in / 1 - $3 / 2 - $5 / 9 (full set) $22” respectively. End ID.]

  • The crackle of the fluorescent lamps stirred him awake, as their hum signaled the return of daylight mode to the Laboratory. Doug shivered, yawned, stretched, and barely managed to suppress a cry as his stiff muscles twisted in protest. Only by leaning against the wall could he manage to stand and stretch out fully. The prospect of folding himself into the ventilation system made his back and knees unanimously ache.

Art therapy’s second chapter is here! As always, thanks to @canadian-riddler for the proofreading. Hope you all will like this one and see you next time!
