Hello folks,
A few days ago I launched The Fantasies of Youth online shop! Currently stocked with a variety of prints, stickers, and t-shirts.
I also updated my website with more drawings and a section for my latest paintings. If you would like to buy an original painting that is listed on my website, please reach out to me via email at thefantasiesofyouth@gmail.com.
My commissions are open on a rolling basis; find the commission proposal form here. Any proposals will be started in the new year, as the deadline for holiday commissions has passed.
(The headline of this newsletter/post is a nod to when I had an online shop of hand-embroidered up-cycled clothing that I opened in high school, and subsequently closed a few years later.)

In the Spirit of Giving
A friend of mine is crowdfunding to help them pay for their top surgery this February! They are over halfway their goal but could still use your help <3
Donate to Jess’s Gofundme here and read their ask
If you would like to know more about top surgery, what it is, and why it is important, etc. I recommend doing a quick google, as well as reading accounts by folks who received the procedure.

A local (to Western MA) used bookstore that hosts lots of events is crowdfunding to support them continuing past their first year under new ownership.
Thank you all for your support! Hope the season is treating you well so far.
Sincerely with awe and wonder,
Elayna Sturm
