🌞 Welcome June! Between Fairs, Pins, and Patreon Surprises
Hello friends!
A new month has arrived, and with it a whirlwind of creativity, events, and updates—both online and offline. So grab a cup of your favorite drink and let’s dive into what’s cooking this June in the world of Fefa Art!
🎪 Where to Find Me This Month
I'm excited to announce that I’ll be attending two fun outdoor trade fairs this month:
📍 CB Comix – Sunday, 8 June – Cinisello Balsamo (MI)
📍 BinascoComix – Saturday & Sunday, 14–15 June – Binasco, near Milan
Both events are free to enter and take place outdoors, so cross your fingers for good weather and come say hi! I’ll have my full table of goodies with me: stickers, prints, pins, magnets, and more.
🧷 Let’s Talk Merchandise: New Pins & Magnets!
This past month I’ve been hard at work expanding my collection of handmade items – and I’ve finally added pins and magnets to the family!
🎉 My First Button-Making Machine!
Yes, it finally happened! I got my very own badge press and started experimenting with it.
The process was... let’s say eventful 😅 There was a fair amount of trial and error, shouting at instructions, and bits of paper flying everywhere – but in the end, I’m so happy with the result. Each pin is hand-assembled with love (and a little cursing).
I’ve been designing fun and expressive illustrations just for these – perfect for decorating bags, pencil cases, or giving as tiny art gifts.
🧲 Magnet Time!
And as if that wasn’t enough, I also started making magnets!
I reworked some of my most-loved designs, adapting them to glossy, sturdy fridge magnets – they’re colorful, playful, and ideal for organizing your space with a touch of art. These will also be available at the upcoming fairs and soon in the shop!
I'm planning to continue expanding both collections and will be soon avaiable on my shop. I’d love to hear what designs or characters you'd like to see turned into pins or magnets next. 💌
🎨 Patreon Perks – This Month’s Exclusive Goodies
If you’re subscribed to my Patreon, you already know there are some juicy surprises waiting this month!
✨ Sticker Alert: Patrons will receive a holographic version of the rice bowl sticker... but with Sanji (aka our furry mascot) curled up inside! Only Patreon members will get this version.
📖 First Chapter of the Novel: Yes, it’s coming! And Tier 2 patrons will receive a bookmark to celebrate the release – design still in progress (no spoilers yet!).
📌 Exclusive Pin for Tier 3: A special, limited-edition pin is also in the works. And as always, Tier 2 and 3 include rewards from all previous tiers.

🕹 A Game on the Website?!
Big changes are coming to fefaart.com, and instead of doing a boring “maintenance mode,” I decided to turn it into a game!
Every day, something will change: a product, a page, a flash offer… and during my live streams on Twitch, I’ll ask:
“What changed today?”
Correct answers earn points, and at the end of the month the person with the most points will win an exclusive mystery prize.
So keep your eyes peeled, both on the site and during my Twitch streams.

💬 Final Thoughts
There’s a lot bubbling in the creative pot right now, and I’m pouring my energy into new ideas, designs, and ways to connect with all of you. This summer, I have a very specific goal in mind – and I’m so grateful that your support allows me to keep chasing it.
If you have ideas, feedback, or even just want to say hi – my inbox is always open.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following this messy, colorful journey 💖
Wishing you a beautiful start to June, and for those of you in Italy: buona festa!
See you soon,
Fefa
