It’s always fun when @drskorzy.bsky.social comes at me with a “I don’t know if I should tell you this” as if he’s not going to immediately tell me this but also cares for my well being but knows I am too curious a creature to care about my own well being. Anyway, there was tarantula at the door. 🕷️

Put new acrylic shelves up at my Sea Hive booth today. Didn’t know I’d be The Sticker Person when I started out and now I have more designs than I had space originally, and this isn’t all of them! Gonna be making some more adjustments as I can. Before and After

My Sea Hive booth showing prints stickers and framed prints as well as bandanas. Stickers are on a cascading tabletop rack on a long shelf attached to a grid wallMy stickers have now been moved to long racks that are flush with the wall making them much more spaced out, easy to view, and easy to pickA closeup of all my available stickers that are now on their own row instead of falling behind each other

🦈 OH! MY! GOD! Husbeast @drskorzy.bsky.social has been conspiring for MONTHS in SECRET to get me my Holy Grail tiki mug: The Quint. Sold out for 2 years, tiki ppl said I’m out of luck, he managed to get a hand painted recast directly from the artist as a surprise anniversary present. 🥹 Gutenprank.

Mug signed by Trader Duck the artist, numbered 196

It’s amazing the things I’ve been able to get for free just because I’m nice to service workers. The bar is so low, folks. I’m just my normal self and I get service fees waived, special favors, bend-over-backwards deals. Just because I’m not a Default Karen. Bleak af tbh. Be nice to people!

It's super annoying doing logo design research lately, every example seems to be full of AI slop. Making mood boards for clients has turned into a really unpleasant exercise when I previously loved it. Hate this.

Overhead process video/camera setup. What do you use? I've seen ads for a few different lamp/phone stands that rotate and I have one in mind but want to hear from folks who have a setup. Right now I tape my phone to my light or use a bunch of books and its uuuuuh not great lol

Hello, since Redbubble did me dirty (suspension without explanation while owing me money) let's experiment a little bit! If I've known you long enough not to abuse my work and you want a print/sticker/whatever from me, pay me what you want, I'll give you high resolution files. Try me! #Art #SciArt

I got these biggie totes because I take them to the beach, the post office, and farmers market and I need to STUFF things. Those tiny basic canvas totes could never. It's become my snorkeling/beach tote, my retail space refresh tote, I beat it up and it's still going strong.

The president threatened to sacrifice my city and I’m trying so hard not to fedpost but my god, to say I am furious is an understatement. Anyway if you voted for or support Trump unfollow me, my work is not for you.

An angry bear rising up among raised fists with the text “you poked the bear” representing California. It’s only 3 colors just red white and black. I wanted to make it full color but I’m too busy working on client work so I can afford living in Trump’s America
