After a break over the holidays, Christmas and the New Year I've already started my next tour of events for 2024, while still developing more new artwork as signed prints and work towards my new art book releases. I first had the SPACEJUMP Rocket League ESports tournament, then had GenghisCon Perth 2024 where I was a guest artist/writer. I also exhibited at the Guildford Twilight Markets Valentine's Market in February. More 2024 conventions and events are to be announced soon. New artwork, behind the scenes posts, and new commercial work announcements are also being worked on and coming soon.

With the rise of AI Art theft, I'll be looking into using the Glaze and Nightshade tools in future to protect my artwork from being scraped for AI on the Internet going forward. For more unreleased artworks you can check out my Patreon: Austen Mengler as well (thank you for the supporters over there!) POP HORROR (FAN ART) GALLERY: See the whole collection of POP HORROR prints & more at: www.austenmengler.com/store

I'm also planning on releasing a big collection of new original drawings for sale on my website Store (making a Store II page) as well as building complexity to my website with Indexes for all my art series Execution, Pop Horror, Scary Sketches & My Shadows, as opposed to single image slideshows. ORIGINAL DRAWINGS (INKTOBER 2018): See way more original drawings available for purchase: www.austenmengler.com/store
