Hi friends! this is still moving through the US Congress. It’s basically an anti-trans censorship bill disguised as “protecting children” (and its worded so vague, a corgi butt could be “obscene”) You wanna do something for #TDOV ? Call your reps. Call for all your trans friends 🤍🩵🩷

Hello Friends! There is a nationwide book banning bill in US House of Representatives. If you love queer people, books, librarians, teachers, or good ole fashioned freedom of speech, please CALL your rep today. More info in the pics, and you can read from this script: 5calls.org/issue/federa...

Slide 1: a blue graphic with an outline of the United States. Red and white text reads: Call. National Book Banning Bill Proposed in US House of Reps. Tell your rep: Vote no on H.R. 7661.

Thanks for getting through this year with me. I know it hasn't been easy. I'm grateful for the company. Thank you to everyone who supports my art! I couldn't do this without every single person in my life. Happy New Year~

An art v artist post. A 3x3 panel collage of 9 images, artwork posted in 2025 takes up all the spaces on the edges, with the center panel containing a portrait of the artist.

Every logo on every package I ship out is stamped by hand. I’ve read all your names, all the cities and all the states you come from, and all the artwork you cared enough about to buy from me. I’ve gone through hundreds and hundreds of these and I personally stamp every one of them

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

I’m at the point where I’m force feeding my kids media that’s lovingly crafted by human hands. Rankin Bass holiday specials. Ghibli. Weird Don Bluth stuff. It feels like a race against time. I hope they appreciate this. Before they enter a future that seems determined to devalue this special work.

Last batch of orders went out on Saturday! Final day to order from my shop before I close. I'll be reopening sometime next year TBD All remaining orders will go out tomorrow. Everyone should receive their orders before Christmas if needed. Please let me know if you have any issues. Thanks!

One from the vaults. When Hedra got reprinted by Image, because of printing math, I had to add a few pages, but then because of my misunderstanding of printing math I added too many had to cut this one.
