Book cover by Devin Elle Kurtz

This children’s illustrated storybook (available as hardcover, eBook, or audiobook) delves into the tale of Ember the dragon, a kind soul turned master baker, who works alongside his human companion in her bakery. Ember always struggled to find himself a nice pile of gold to rest upon like other dragons, until he learned to make his own “gold,” that being the golden loaves of freshly baked bread. It is only when he’s tasked with making a birthday cake, that he begins to doubt his skills in the kitchen...

The Bakery Dragon and the Fairy Cake is a book full of exciting adventures that is sure to bring smiles to children and parents alike!

October 10th, 2025 - The team behind the highly anticipated “Lackadaisy” has announced that they have officially partnered with GLITCH Productions, the studio behind popular indie animated series “The Amazing Digital Circus,” to bring a full six-episode season to life! This news was simultaneously announced on GLITCH’s very first “GLITCH Direct.”

GLITCH Productions

The Lackadaisy team and GLITCH are working closely together to ensure the series stays true to the style and charm of initial animated pilot, keeping its intentionally sketchy rendering and highly stylized character designs intact and letting the Lackadaisy team keep complete creative control. No release date has been announced for the first season as of now.

Artist of the Month!

Felidaze

Digital Artist

Felidaze is a digital artist bringing his fan comic to life through two years of labor and love! His clean silhouettes and detailed, stylized backgrounds make his characters pop right into the spotlight!

"My name is FELID! I draw a lot of cats and not much else, but the cats are really good I promise. I spend a disproportionate amount of my free time thinking about cats, playing games about cats, and perhaps even petting real life cats, so as you can imagine, the cat-centric lifestyle tends to come through in the art I make.

Right now, I'm working on my webcomic which is titled IN FROM THE COLD! it's specifically a Warrior Cats fan comic, featuring my characters that I've been developing for about 2 years. It primarily follows a cat named Smolderpaw, and her experience adjusting from an isolated life as a loner to suddenly being a part of a large clan environment full of other cats. it's very early on in the story right now but I promise a lot of very juicy character drama and cool art in its future chapters. Maybe check it out and support my cat drawing endeavors if you're so inclined, I'm really enjoying working on it so far."
