Cypritree - March 2025 Newsletter

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Welcome to March, friends! Weather's still pretty chilly here, alternating between snowy flurries and rain and keeping me indoors and at my workstation. I've been popping that vitamin D while working on a major commission project, which I'd love to show but unfortunately won't be released until after May. Instead I'll be sharing some upcoming merch plans!
​
I've spent the entire month in Monster Hunter Wilds during my spare time and completely forgot that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's released! I will be off with my favorite yakuza husbando sailing the high seas this month and the likelihood is high I'll be making some Majima related art. For now I'd like to share all the current Yakuza art I've made with you!

YAKUZA TATTOO TRIO:

I admit this series of drawings is what sparked my initial interest in tattooing. One of my tattooing dreams was to make large intricate back pieces for my clients, but actually going through my apprenticeship and practice I found tattooing was incredibly physically taxing on the body and my drawing arm and I couldn't risk the damage to my long term art pursuits. Instead now I draw illustrations to channel those design dreams.

YAKUZA interior design moment:

Love me some men in suits so I deliver you some men in suits ↓↓↓

Grab your Yakuza boys here! >>>Yakuza Collection<<<

Monster Hunter:

Still on that monster hunter high! Hope y'all are hitting that HR 50 before Mizutsune comes out on April 5th! Shout out to this fan that bought my whole set of Monster Hunter prints at my last con :) I'm working on 6 new monster hunter pins, is there a particular monster pin you've been hoping for?

You can grab them for yourself here! >>>Monster Hunter Collection<<<

Also join my MH squad Leafy Greens if you want to hunt together! Squad code: AY9YV39Q

Shop and Convention News:

I've set up a shop on Etsy for easier Canadian and International orders, as Etsy is better equipped to handle overseas shipping needs. I'll be spending more energy working on merch goods this year such as keychains, apparel, and charms for the online store. (Berserk stuff incoming that's been sitting on the back burner for a year!!)

Next Convention: Anime Ottawa April 18-20

Til next month!

Hi friends, it’s been a while! My life got super hectic late last year with a family related health crisis that I had to put a fair amount of my normal routine on pause to help with. Since then, I’ve been spending my infrequent free time in between conventions, caring for my family, and personal commitments trying to devote some creative time to designing new things and drawing new work. And suddenly, half the year has gone by and it’s almost July! Which also means… It's almost Anime Expo...

One yellow leaf falls into the palm of your hand, and with it, your mood suddenly changes!! 🍂🍁🧡🎃Despite having to dodge every Pumpkin Spice concoction being peddled to me the past month, the hues of Halloween season shall forever remain my favorite, goth and cosy all in one too-short month. It is around this time of year when I finally am able to breathe a sigh of relief after a busy summer convention season. I sit back and take stock, literally and figuratively, of my creations so far this...
