As you start a new year with new goals & new plans, remember: growth is an organic thing made of twists, knots, scabs & die-off. You can't grow a healthy plant without some funny-lookin leaves!⁠ ⁠ Tbh, my fave plants at the tea house are the ones with the odd growth patterns.

New year new website YEAH!! It's so shiny www.angrygatodesigns.com

Oh it's about time for another battle with Cloudflare...

Now that 2025 is over, I wanted to share some of my highlights from the year and upcoming goals. Thank you to everyone who supported me this past year - virtually or in person. I look forward to another year of creative ventures in 2026! #artist #yearinreview

A billionaire won't shovel the snow from your sidewalk. Or lend you tools to finish a project. Or watch your pet while you're away. Don't let anyone convince you that your neighbor is the enemy when it's the billionaires who are stealing from us all.

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026. Let's. Go.

happy 2006 everyone

New years egg rolls and pit stickers! We also had bacon wrapped chicken bites and fries. Starting off 2026 with a little more room in the freezer!

What kind of New Year's traditions do you have? Do you make a special food? Have a special routine? Personally, I love making little snacks like egg rolls, bacon wrapped chicken bites, anything small and tasty. I also tend to make myself a little intention spell jar for the year! 🪄

NOGARD. NEEDS. CAT CARDS. #squee #GatoRocks

T-minus 15 days until the launch of the Ask The Cats Oracle Deck, and next week we'll begin celebrating with some giveaways exclusive to my email list! More info here: subscribepage.io/askthecats #cats #art #oracle #tarot #shopsmall

Another holiday commission I recently finished. Meet Rocky and Ray! #watercolor #dogs #art #commission

My most effective strategy to get Bowser to stop bothering Ratchett is to call for him and act like I have no idea where he is. Works 9/10 times. A true orange.

Painted this memorial portrait of our dear friend, Matthew McConaughey🌈 (the cat, not the human.) This went to my mother-in-law on Christmas Day, as he was her cat. He was a very gentle and kind soul 💜 #art #watercolor #cats

Ratchett in her traditional holiday sweater. I can't find Bowser, or else he'd get his Aldi sweater too. (He actually likes his sweater! Ratchett merely tolerates hers.)

@ravenblackhart.bsky.social I learned today that Sweden does a national Christmas bingo event??!! Is this trueeee???

My baby Bowser is officially a lil criminal. This is the only mug shot we have. Y'all, don't be like me and ignore boundaries/warning signs and keep brushing a snag in your cat's fur. My prizes for this game? ✨ a new tetanus shot ✨, 5 days of antibiotics, and lots of annoying paperwork!

Finished up this watercolor commission last week of my friend's dog. Meet Cora the cattle dog! #art #watercolor #dog #petart

2025 Art vs Artist. Way too many pieces to include here! A couple themes: - A couple political pieces - Oracle Deck! Lots of digital illustration - More traditional work, specifically in watercolor but also dabbled in relief printing Kinda nice to see my range! #art #artvsartist

Last market of 2025 is DONE

LAST MARKET OF THE SEASON LET'S GO! Hive Public Market in Lowell MA, from noon to 5pm! And yes im a silly lil guy and brought new stuff

Only one week left to donate to my fundraiser for our local shelter! This Christmas season has been a little melancholy because I've been missing Fergus, but watching the donation total creep up has really cheered me up a lot. Thank you. 🥰 givebutter.com/n5l31M

YAY CAT ART SHOW!!! I created a new exclusive card for the Ask the Cats oracle deck, coming to Kickstarter in January. THE DINGUS! IT'S ORANGE! Want to help bring this to life? Easy! Follow the campaign and tell people about it😻 www.askthecatsoracle.com

Studio day! Starting to make progress on the new products since the laser is now fixed! It seems silly, this Saturday will be my last market of the year, but I've been excited to make these. Each one has a laser-cut wood base and topped with a durable epoxy-like transfer. #art #artshare #cats

Lately I've been making chai with a bag of Ultra Spice Twinings and a packet of honey ginger crystals topped with oat milk. The extra spice and heat makes my cold bones so happy.

An orange Dingus appears! (Exclusive card!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/ang...

I had a dream that @hankgreen.bsky.social gave me six baby porcupines. But they weren't spiky yet! Lucky for me, I had access to a courtyard that already had some critters in it, and they ended up hanging out with some cats.

View from my desk. I've been mounting and sealing paintings from my Ask the Cats watercolor series, and now they're all safely stored away! The decal looking things are for something ✨NEW✨ but they have to wait until the Makerspace laser is fixed.

i'm bluesky fancy now, got my domain as my username.

All set up at the Wrong Brain Holidaze Bizaare! Lots of cool artists and stuff here!! Come see us at Community Campus in Portsmouth until 4pm 💜

Ok this rips though

I wanted to have DIY cat masks at the Ask the Cats launch party, and so yesterday I drew this mask design in Procreate. Printed it out today to test the fit and OMG it's perfect. So obviously the next step for me is to print it out on cardstock and do a full decorate.

So many googly eye cat paintings!

On the other hand, today I told myself "I'm going to take the rest of the day off" about three times. And I couldn't figure out what to do, so I ended up doing more work. All good things though. My boss* would be proud. (* Me. My boss is me.)

Starting to get events planned for January and EEE THIS LAUNCH PARTY IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN! #dovernh #oracledeck #newhampshire #cats

Y-ALL! There is now an animated Gay Cardinal Throuple bit of joyous decor for you! (it's $29 so I sadly did not buy this one)

What do we think of little Kit-T-Rexes as plant friends?

what i discovered last month was I know far more people on SNAP than I realized, and every single one of them is an artist or author even if collectively they never made another piece again they've still contributed more to humanity than the one guy who begs autocomplete to raise his baby

I wanted to get some production work done today but the laser cutter is being a butt, I ordered the wrong greeting card sleeves AGAIN, and it's cold. Trying to get used to the cold but dang nothing kills my motivation like temperature extremes. grouch grouch.

Brain zoomies at 2am, after yet another day like this: 7am me: Ok, I'll sit down and do a couple small things before I get up and have breakfast. 4pm me: ...oh I never got up

Oh my, I made an unboxing video of my latest prototype deck! Verdict: Mostly good, but a couple small flaws that hopefully can be fixed! youtu.be/hak_pXJAm7M?... #kickstarter #oracledeck #cats #art

Just sold this piece that has been riding a long to shows with me for a year. I have some feelings!! Enjoy your new home, buddy!

Pop up at D Squared Java in Exeter!! Come say hi, I'll be here until 2! #exeternh #art #artmarket #seacoastnh #justmakinguphashtags

If you want a 365 day taste of New England in calendar form, then this is it. Look no further. For years, I bought this for my mother as a gift, and she loved it so much that she started buying it for herself on the off-chance I became a shit son and didn't buy it for her. Grab this.

All set up for the Port City Makerspace Winter Market! We'll be here until 4! #portsmouthnh #art #market

WE DID IT Y'ALL we're up to 101 followers!!! thank you thank you thank you

Day 4 of the #Aldi cheese advent is goat cheese!! Instead of being crumbly, it's compressed into a nice lil cube. I want a bigger block of this.

THURSDAY ART SHOW! If you are a working artist (i.e. you depend on income from your art) just respond to this post with your non-pornographic, non-violent, non-AI generated ✨CAT-RELATED✨ art/crafts and I will repost! From now until 8:30 pm EST. Include any relevant links like your website or etsy!
