Hungry multimedia artist
Hi, I'm Candy! (she/they)Artist since I could hold a pencil and vendor since 2014.I have a passion for building community and lifting up others! I volunteer, run panels, and host local events as much as I can. <3
Please note that despite the cute and colorful appearances, I am an adult that creates adult art/NSFW material. I do not work with minors! I also do not have most forms of social media and those that I do have are 18+ onlyProceed at your own risk :3
100% made with my own two paws
I never have and never will use AI tools in my creative process! Everything I do, from the art itself, to novice web dev, graphic design, text, etc etc etc is either made by me, or uses paid or open source materials made by real people. Fuck AI. Celebrate real people making real art.

Conventions!
At conventions I sell some items that are unavailable anywhere else like certain prints, temporary tattoos, my popular pup cups, and sticker books!
Of course, I also have lots of stickers, pins, and keychains available as well as on-the-spot sketches and badges!I am always improving, always adding more designs and options. My current planned additions are light-up collars with acrylic tags, and a cookbook zine.To the best of my ability, I focus on handmade, or USA-made merchandise to try and keep my carbon footprint as low as possible. I do all of my own printing on high quality archival paper too!Come stop by and consider feeding the bear!!

PLEASE THE QUEEN and become our patron~Please the Queen is a collaborative project between Candy of Please Feed The Bear and Bellion of Scream Queen!We have been collab partners for a while- working volunteer positions for our local convention as Art Director (Candy) and Theme coordinator (Bellion). After doing this for a number of years we realized we work GREAT together. Candy lays out composition, backgrounds and lighting, while Bellion brings a steady hand and eye for detail with their lineart and coloring.We also.... have some OTHER interests in common >:3 The things we CAN'T do for the very public facing, family friendly convention. So this page exists to give us the space, time and freedom to pursue other work together~ <3
