Fire Plush Element Toy
“Fire burns hot with passion and enthusiasm, it can be brave, valiant and often rebellious. But, because of its nature, it can also be a bit snappy, uncontrollable and angry! #@&%!”
“Water is full of emotion and empathy. Though it can be a bit cold, moody, and sensitive at times, as long you show it a little love, it can be warm to the touch. Don’t be sad, lil’ water drop!”
“Earth is known to be calm, practical, wise and patient; you can find peace if you spend time with it. So, chill out and remember there’s nothing wrong with being down to earth.”
“Air is kind, intellectual and social at its core. It’s often thoughtful and gentle but it can be suddenly overtaken by a storm of emotion! Just keep it easy and things won’t get too breezy.”
That’s right Washington, I will be returning to Seattle on March 27-29 for this years Emerald City Comicon! This years appearance will mark my 6th year exhibiting at conventions, and 6th year traveling to Seattle for this con. It’s mind blowing that it’s been that long. Thanks to the support from awesome people like you, it’s been an amazing ride so far. I will be located in the same spot this year as I was last year (Booth 605). Also this year I have a piece in the Monsters and Dames 2015 Charity Book, available ONLY at the convention itself. I’m excited to welcome in this years con season with you guys! See you soon.
How to “Favorite Shop” and “Favorite” Product on Etsy
Big news! Corvink is now on Etsy and Storenvy (links below). Our hopes being that with the upcoming holiday season that people will be favoriting our products for gift ideas and hopefully spreading the word a bit. The more places we can be found, the better, right?
One really nice thing about having your store on a marketplace (like Etsy and Storyenvy), rather than just on your own e-commerce website, is the fact that there is a built in community. The only catch is that new buyers need to feel comfortable buying from a random new store they’ve never heard of. People need confidence that a store is legit and worth their attention. Considering both of these stores are new, they both need a little bit of help getting started!
Money is tight these days, so you don’t have to go and buy anything right now, but if you want to help us get started, there are a few ways you can help in a big way! If you have an Etsy account, please consider favorite our shop and any listing you love. The more favorites an item has, the higher they will rank in search feeds. Or at least, in theory.
If you’re on Storenvy, this process is even more simple. For this site, all you need to do is click the “Envy This” button when you hover over the item. You can also click the heart below the item as well.

Thanks for your support, and if you have any recommendations on how Corvink can continue to grow, please share. We’d love to hear your ideas!
After a ton of deliberation, I’ve decided that Corvink should be a store front, with the tagline “Occult Emporium,” which is a pretty good verbal description of the over arching theme of all my current, and future projects. Occult, for those of you not in the know, is not some creepy cultish thing. It’s actually just anything that involves the supernatural, the mystical, or general magical ideology, practices, or phenomena. Which perfectly describes a lot of the creative ideas and visions I have for Corvink moving forward. I’ll go more into this on personal art blog later, but you can read my post about why I split my websites up to learn more about this decision now. Hopefully with this you can at least you can get an idea of where I’m going with Corvink. You can also continue to see my artwork at DenisCaron.com and continue reading L.A.W.L.S. Comics at its own site again. Thanks for your support! I hope you like all the new sites.
TIME TO GET READY! If you live in Utah come to Salt Lake Comic Con at Salt Palace Convention Center between September 4th and 6th and stop by the Corvink Booth – Booth 1031. I’ll be there, so hopefully will you too! This is will be a first for me visiting the Salt Lake City, or even Utah. I’m pretty excited to visit. Hopefully this city loves comics as much as other towns do! Also, don’t forget to also swing our fellow Booth Bastards: Fez-o-Rama, Badali Jewelry, Steam Crow, and Cody Vrosh (locations seen on map below).
Corvink will be returning to San Diego Comic-Con International next week at the San Diego Convention Center. We will be located in the same spot as last year, Booth 1133. Which is such a crazy honor to be located next to so many great creators in the Web Comics area.
As always, don’t forget to stop by my fellow Booth Bastards booths, which you can find on this Indie Creators Map! Which, for the first time ever Decobot (the Creators of Destined Legends) will be a the show promoting the game. Even though its on the total other side of the convention center, definitely make that trek over there. It’ll be worth it, the game is awesome!
Who’s going to Anime Expo? Make sure look for the Corvink ad about half way through the Anime Expo 2014 Program! This is particularly exciting because it’s our first print advertisement in anything official like this.
Gothic art, comics and clothing for nerds with attitude by Denis Caron. Mark your make.
Hey you Morbid Corvids, Corvink will be returning to Phoenix Comicon again this year. You can find us at Booth 885! I will be debuting the new Gothic Tattooed Ballerina print at this show, which I’m very excited for you to see in person. If you can make it, I hope to see you there!
Also, do you scavenger hunts? If so, don’t just come by the Corvink booth, take this map to the con and hunt down these other amazing independent creators like Fez-o-Rama, Steam Crow, Cody Vrosh and more! Locations on map provided below.
Hello Corvids, have you ever been to a convention and you suddenly find yourself surrounded by sweaty human bodies everywhere? Considering I know most of you from conventions, I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about! Well, THAT my friends (in a nut shell), was exactly what spawned the idea of making these… seriously. You can learn more about the development of the Death is Silent hand fans here.
You can now put death in your hands with my new Limited Edition “Death” Hand Fans! …but only if you click this link right here… or, you know, the one down below. Keep in mind, that even though you might be buying “Death,” most doctors recommend avoiding it by preventing horrid things like heat stroke. Heat stroke can be prevented by regulating your body heat… which, if you’re following my nonsensical stream of logic here, may very well be done with a hand fan! By this logic you can say that “Death” then just becomes a elegant part of your road to staying alive! Now, If THAT isn’t reason enough to buy one of these pretties, you may also want to be aware that there will only be 300 of this design ever made; that way, these fans will be extra special! I set aside the first 25 of these specifically for those of you “Mailing Listers” who have signed up for the mailing list because I’m super grateful that you’re interested enough to read these rambling things they call newsletters. :]
Anyway, thanks for reading and enjoy staying cool this summer!
*Your fan number will be based on order of purchase, so act fast!
