Hello! I intend to keep my newsletter mostly focused on music updates (I know that's why you signed up!), however, I wanted to take one email to highlight my painting endeavors.

I began painting in 2020 to calm my mind, pass some time, and engage some new creative muscles. After a few commission inquiries, I decided to start selling my work.
 

My favorite mediums include guitar picks, wood chips, pendants, and mini canvases. I love trying new things, but I've mostly been doing pet & animal portraits. I also have a lot of fun with my Art for Wildlife series, for which I paint rescued animals and donate 50% of the proceeds back to the wildlife organizations & rehabilitation centers that helped them!
 

If you'd like to check out some of my work or do some holiday shopping, you can follow @blessedbycleo on Instagram or visit my shop on Ko-Fi. :)

For now, everything is pay-what-you-can, with minimum prices starting at $4. Even better, you can get 50% off your entire order with the code "holidays" through 12/10! That's when I go home for a few weeks, and I'll be taking whatever I have left with me - any & all help clearing some inventory before then is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I've also moved my music-related merch to Ko-Fi, so if you're looking for my lyric book, CDs, sheet music, or other limited edition or digital merch, you can find it at ko-fi.com/miastegner. It's also a great place to send recurring or monthly donations, help fund my next album, increase the likelihood of a west coast summer tour, or "buy me a coffee" for the holidays. As always, all of your support (financial or otherwise) is deeply appreciated. 

All print on-demand merch (shirts, stickers, mugs, and lots more) is still being fulfilled through Threadless. :)
