Got way more done today than I planned. Crossing fingers these come out of the bisque looking as good as they do now.

Felt phallic, might delete.

So much artistic awe is looking at someone else’s work and thinking: “wow, I couldn’t do *this*” as you marvel at their choices. The appeal of AI art is that you get the same feeling but without the “wow.” It’s more like “I couldn’t do this, and I wouldn’t, and it doesn’t make any sense.”

New mugs in the works!

Where do you get the thin tape

I made so many of these tea light tea cups and I thought they were so smart and cute but I just did a whole weekend sale and no one even said they were adorable, can you believe it?

Watching Severance for the first time and I’m partway through season two and goddamn, WHERE IS THE BABY? I don’t mean that one time the baby was missing I mean every time Devon is staying up overnight watching over Mark and having urgent, time-sensitive conversations, WHERE IS THE BABY?

Serious question: how horny is this emoji? 😈 I use it all the time and it’s my favourite. On a scale from 1-10 how likely is it that it’s being interpreted hornily?

I always take pictures of projects before the bisque firing but fail to post them because they’re not “done”… and then by the time everything’s finished I’m over looking at pictures of them! Like, if u want to see them, go look at them in the world, the picture isn’t the thing anymore 🙃

The Bump in the Dark Bundle for Indigenous Health is live now! Get 18 supplements -- and the game itself -- for ten bucks, with all proceeds going to a clinic that focuses on holistic healthcare for Milwaukee's Native American community! itch.io/b/2982/bump-...

Outfit was good and 2 people saw it 😔

It’s been literal years since I read a science fiction/fantasy SERIES (at least, reading multiple books in quick succession, not years apart, as they’re released) and it’s such a potent reminder of what a durational medium books are.

No aesthetic studio pics, only this

No fancy sketchbook sketches, only this

You can go to the studio until midnight and drink a whole pot of decaf *any time* but it feels especially good when your partner’s out of town. BACHELOR MODE, BAYBEE

Go nominate the projects that made your heart sing this year! (Bump was definitely among them for me!)

Anyone who has ever got delivery via bike should fight for safe lanes & infrastructure as a moral imperative. (Would love to see how many anti bike lane people also enjoy delivery)

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

For $100, you can hire me to enforce an imaginary deadline. I will send you increasingly urgent reminder emails as your deadline approaches, pressuring you not to let me down. I am serious. I will do this. For $100.

My partner always makes fun of me for opening the pot of rice to check on it. It’s my fatal flaw: I have to look at the rice.

Is there something you do regularly with other people that informs how you operate as a creative person? Every co-working or study group I've ever been a part of has petered out eventually, but I know knitters meetups that have been running for decades.

Amazing and restorative time seeing friends at Breakout, made some killer zine trades and played with some great people! Already taking notes for Breakout Bites 2026

Let’s gooooo @breakoutcon.bsky.social day 2! Find me in the little vendor area tucked in by the City Hall room, next to the fine folks from @goodluckpress.co and @shoutingcrow.bsky.social!

Everyone talks about having a bubble bath or buying yourself a slice of pie as self care, but no one’s talking about bringing an extra shirt with you on a long day so you can change when you get too sweaty.

Things I am bringing to my artist table at @breakoutcon.bsky.social this weekend: handmade ceramic tokens for your misc token needs, a couple little shelves, sooo many dishes, hand-printed backgammon and chess sets…

Listening to The Daily’s episode on the trade war (lol I should know better, honestly), and the American bafflement at how Canadians are behaving is so funny to me. “Why are they mad at us?” “My guy, your president literally started a trade war.”

In this week’s firing… 👀

Hey, I am trying to hop on this "support Canadian businesses" moment. Please support me! These tariffs are not the most harmful thing Trump has done, but they are fucking infuriating.

Writing a to-do list to prep for my table at BreakOut con next weekend, my lovely partner scrawls "Prep for B.O." and friends, he is right. I will be stinky-tired but I'm so excited.

Hey, Ontario: today's the day so GO VOTE. Goddamn you, go vote. I am going to be SO DISAPPOINTED in you if you don't put an X on a ballot for this goddamn provincial election. If you didn't do it early, do it now. Right now. Are you reading this? GO VOTE RIGHT NOW.

Studio days and niiiiights

This green is one of my new favourites, and I’m obsessed with this stupid Pegasus.

Whenever you get the opportunity to tell a younger person that what they're doing with their life is cool and smart, and that you admire their choices, you should do it.

This weekend (Feb 22 from 11-5), find me at the Ghostwood Market at the Parkdale Hall, alongside so many talented artists of all kinds! Poster by Erica Young.

One thing I almost always change when I am copyediting something is the phrase "the ways in which." In most cases you can simply say "how," which has the benefit of being very clear and direct (though a potential drawback is making the writer and their subject seem less mysterious and alchemical.)

Trying this cool thing where I trick myself into having more things for my next sale by starting more things than I think I can reasonably finish. Cool or what ! ?

My first pair of colourwork socks!!

Had some successes today in the studio, counterbalancing Monday’s sense of failure. I guess making art is ok!

Ceramics is failure and failure is part of life. A lot of things did not come out of this firing looking good, but this pizza did:

Forbidden frosting

I haven’t been on twitter in so long, I forgot what to do. Shitpost my opinions about The Traitors, right?!?!

Hello to everyone who has been waiting with bated breath for me to join Bluesky in a panic just before #hourlycomicsday
