I’ve been away from Bluesky due to messaging issues. Sorry for the late notice! I’m showing yokai at Centre Gallery, Bristol, until Wed 26th. Yokai models are also now available: bertramfiddle.com⁠ 

Thank you very much @petelordaardman for showing me around Aardman studio today. I’m so happy some of my Yōkai doll are on display there.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for all the support and purchases through late pledges even after the Kickstarter campaign ended. Late pledges on Kickstarter closed last week, but you can still purchase the project through the website linked in my profile. Quantities are limited, so don’t miss out!

Happy new year everyone. May 2026 be a year full of happiness for you.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope the books have made it safely to you. Your kind messages and feedback have meant so much to me—they’ve been the best Christmas present ever. Thank you so much to all my backers. Wishing you a lovely holiday!

Who's that in my Christmas tree? Why it's the Bake Zori by @aco_decodoll and he brought me this beautiful book and picture too! #Kickstart #yokai #妖怪

Came home from work to fine my yokai night parade book and my bake zori from @acodecodoll.bsky.social came in today, it's a nice surprise to come home to after a stressful day

Thank you all for waiting! Except for the three people whose addresses were incomplete, all rewards have been shipped. I hope they arrive safely and without any issues!

I couldn’t ship everything in November because the last days fell on a weekend 💦 But all labels are on, so now it’s just drop-off or pickup! It’s a big batch, but everything should go out in the next couple of days. Thanks for your patience! 📦✨

While eagerly waiting for the printed books to arrive, I’m creating something special for all my supporters — a mini “Thank You Scroll,” or as I call it, the “Thanks Roll,” filled with gratitude.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for supporting my yokai doll art book — it’s finally happening! The books are almost ready to ship.Some backers haven’t added their shipping addresses yet. If that’s you, please update your Kickstarter profile or message me soon so your book won’t miss the shipment.🙏

Finished all the packaging!! Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the printed books and prints to arrive!

The 25 Bakezōri reward figures are finally complete! The acrylic keychains have also arrived — now I’m just waiting for the books and postcards to come back from the printer. Starting next week, I’ll begin packing preparations like wrapping and addressing. Just a little more to go — I’ll do my best!

Recently my Bluesky messages stopped working. I can still make posts and comments, but I can’t open messages—it asks for age verification, and even after resetting, it doesn’t work. Now it’s even asking me to take a face recognition photo. Is this some kind of spam? It’s scary 😱

Hello! My yokai book is almost finalized and I remade the Nuppeppō for book. I tried using a new squishy material for texture, but it didn’t work well with an armature. The flocking powder made it look messy, but luckily I managed to take good photos before coating, so those will go in the book.
