I’m stoked to announce that our new Starship / AUSXIP payment portal is now live. This will make payments to Starship easier (and you won’t have to convert from US to NZ dollars via xe.com). For a quick look at the new portal go here:

I’ve been busy gearing up for the AUSXIP Charity Auction to raise money for The Starship Foundation and The House of Bards. I’ve taken the opportunity to venture further than Character Creator (3D Character Software) and combined them with ComfyUI (Stable Diffusion) and Photoshop. Xena and Gab look awesome, don’t they? I’ve got a fair bit of my art in this year’s auction. The auction is starting on September 1! Check out the catalog for all the items (including the art!)
