I tried to design a cute, stylized Sister Claire doll… and all I did was make a Holy Powerpuff Girl!
This is for a group project in my MA, my partner and I decided to make a doll. I offered to use Claire as the subject, because she is relatively simple. XD
I promised to draw something when I got 1K followers on Twitter. I didn’t know what to do… people follow me for 3 main fandoms, and I didn’t want to end up disappointing anyone! So… I put my 3 main fandoms together.
P.S. If you want to support Sister Claire merch being printed at Topatoco, please consider buying my Telephone poster for yourself or a friend! They aren’t selling as well as expected, which is bad news as far as getting some Sister Claire things into the store. If you know a Gaga/Beyonce fan with an upcoming birthday, maybe this would make a good birthday present/early Kwanza gift/charity donation/colorful piece of toilet paper!
At long last! Topatoco has updated their shop, so you can now order the infamous Telephone poster!
Thanks for being so patient, little monsters! And it just happened to coincide with Gaga’s 24th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAGA! <3
If this poster sells well, you may see more Sister Claire products appearing in my Topatoco shop! This would be great, because they don’t rip me off like the other on-demand t-shirt company I currently use. I know not all my readers are into Gagaloo, so I’ll see if I can convince them to put up a more Sister Claire-relevant item in the shops, too. =)
Just as suddenly as it came, all my bad juju seems to be disappearing in one day. In the last few hours, I got a phone call that my computer had been totally fixed! New board, new battery, it’s practically fresh from the factory all over again. I fully expect it to sparkly gaily during our happy reunion tomorrow morning.
This means NEW SISTER CLAIRE PAGE COMING AT YOU TOMORROW! Because it was practically done when the computer crashed, it won’t take me long to finish it.
And best of all, I HAVE A PLACE TO STAY IN ANGOULEME! I send out emails to pretty much every host offering a room in their house in Angouleme, and she was one of the first to reply. She sounds like a great person! She even offered to pick me up at the train station, and she’s already hosting two other comic artists visiting for the same con, so it should be awesome. =)
Last but not least, my band is gearing up to enter a contest for an upcoming videogame, and not to toot our own horn, but I’m pretty sure we’re going to blast the competition out of the water with our submission. We’re going way overboard with all the work we’re putting into it, so I’m pretty sure we have a good chance of landing a feature in the game. 
FOR FREEN!
EDIT: OOH! ALSO! If you want a chance to win a FREE GABRIELLE SHIRT, you should totally enter the contest in the DA group GirlsExclusive! Click the link to learn more!
It’s a great time to get a shirt, because *I* just ordered a blue one for myself, and I have to say, I like it even better than the black. (It’s closer to my original vision, too!)
Also, here are some pictures of the sample books I got printed for the editors in Angouleme! Notice the big “PREVIEW VERSION” stickers. XD These books are in black and white, and only contain the pages that are up on the site so far. They’re just prototypes to show what the final book will look like. The back also contains never before seen concept art, including some for unannounced characters appearing way off in the future. These will be included in the first OFFICIAL print of the book as well! =)
So I got this little number all designed. It’s just a matter of finding a suitable on-demand printer. There is one option I’m really hoping for, and I’m just waiting for a reply back to get the O-K. Of course I will let you all know ASAP when it’s ready to order! And boys, I thought of you too.
Of course, there’s a blue girl version and a pink boy version. Because I don’t like discriminating.
The shirts will be available to buy online and available for international shipping. (This is a must for me.) I can’t give a price quote yet, seeing as I’m still not sure who will be printing it. As I said, I’ll get you more info as soon as I have it.
(These photos are edited. I took the models from the Threadless stock photos, so stop asking me for the girl’s number…. Believe me, I wish I had it too.)
Also- I know some of you were asking for maternity wear. I’m still shopping around for an on-demand printer of DECENT quality who carries it. If you have any info, by all means, shoot me a message! =)
