I can not overstate how much dog poop there is everywhere. Toronto is 85% dog poop at the moment.

Art vs. Craft

here’s a quick comic about Charles

Get yourself some friends who send you donuts and drop off uncle tetsu’s cheese tarts when you are having A Week 😭

I saw a downy woodpecker today and it made me very happy. I know you can’t see much (I couldn’t see much either) but those little tappity taps were SO LOUD. Everyone walking through the park was like “is that a woodpecker?!?!”

Every single year y’all get fooled by False Spring so I’m reminding you that this nice weather IS FAKE. ITS NOT REAL DONT FALL FOR IT.

This was nice and fun

Why do they make dishwashers with razor sharp corners? My shins are permanently scarred from bagging them on the door while I’m loading it.

Watched Be Kind Rewind last night with the kiddo. I forgot how much I loved that movie. Kid asked if people could really get magnetized by massive electrocution. So…good movies lead into opportunities for science and safety lectures, parents!

New free post to Patreon today, a little essay inspired by someone else’s ignorance. www.patreon.com/posts/152180...

Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)

QRP with your skull art. It’s been a little while since I made some fun skull stuff..

I’ll be adding these duck trinkets dishes and other ceramics on my shop later today at 11am PT 🙇‍♀️

The March Collection just dropped ^^ www.kness.fr/en/boutique/...

It’s Hamantaschen weekend, folks. These are in the oven making my house smell delicious. The kiddo got to choose the fillings so…there’s mini kit-kats in there.

I’m kind of flipping out over this thing. It’s a little shrine for your cat whiskers (or small flowers for normal people). I’ve only made 3 of them, they are pretty labour intensive, but they feel like a truly *complete* object.

I already had a pretty sensitive nose, but I swear it’s back to pregnancy bloodhound levels (thanks perimenopause) and I’m resorting to constant air purifiers and masking in my own house to keep from gagging.

Watching True Blood. Every time I gotta watch a scene in this stupid vampire club I get so mad. Why are all the lights on?! Why does it always look like it’s after last call and they are about to start mopping the floor?! I hate this so much.

Excited making my daily collages this year! ✂️ FALSE IDOLS #collage #cupaper

I was going to keep my substack profile so I could maintain the other newsletters I subscribed to, but when I thought about how much easier my inbox would be to maintain all I felt was relief as I hit the delete button. I think in future I’ll start a separate email for artist newsletters.

Antichrist is definitely one of them. I thought it was a good movie but I had to hide in the kitchen at one point so I won’t do that again. Grave of the Fireflies is another. Absolutely one of the best movies I have ever seen and I will not ever watch it again.

Oof some folks over on substack got mad that I posted about leaving. I don’t get much in the way of comments, 4 grumpy ones is a lot for me. I don’t think any were subscribers, just found me through the app and probably post angrily on every post they find mentioning leaving the platform.

こんなアニメーションを作っています。 I make animations like this.👇

I just posted about leaving substack just yesterday and I wish I’d had this to link to! I got a surprising number of messages from people who had no idea (as I had not when I first signed up, despite their shenanigans going back years at that point). If you’re looking to leave, this is helpful!

I saw this robin and got so excited and then the next day it snowed 20cm. Fucking robin.

A magical moment with baby donkey George doing a forward roll

Me and my Party Son are gonna fuck you up.

I bought Turnip a gift for his (made up) birthday. His sweet 16 (we think) and he destroyed it in less than 30 seconds.

Coldo and the Loch Ness Monster

Happy KFS to all who celebrate!

It’s still February, but the sun has come back and it was only -7 so in general I’m a lot less depressed. Also I reported a burst pipe near a fire hydrant today that has been leaking for days and apparently a lot of other people were assuming was someone else’s problem so I feel like a superhero.

I made this yesterday and then forgot to put the lid back on the damp box overnight. 😑

I found this in a random bag lying by the front door. We’ve been watching true blood so I sent a text to my husband asking if he and the child had been out vampire hunting. Turns out it was jell-o.

Been trying to figure out how to access downloaded files on my phone and oh my god, they apparently just don’t exist, and it’s been a problem for YEARS and Apple has not fixed it?!?! The folder they keep saying exists in every help request about it, doesn’t exist.

Good morning, heathens. (I need to go back to silly cherubs doodles soon, I miss em.)

I made a post about the success of my resolution stamp cards over on Patreon! It’s mostly free, with a paywall partway through where members can join me in making a new one step by step. Membership is $1US tho, so like, it’s not unaffordable! www.patreon.com/posts/150418...

Scenes from a toad/frog-making day!

Sometimes when I look at everyone’s hourlies it feels like that meme about the monocled childless lady following a goose. Y’all are out there following gooses and I miss goose following a lot, in theory, but also I’m tired now and don’t wanna leave my house.

What would we do without children who leave their leftover lunch sitting on the heating vent all weekend to keep us humble?

I am not the “get carpal tunnel from my water cup” kind of person, but I can’t stop thinking about this.

I deleted tiktok yesterday, and I’ve never been so happy for an excuse to delete an app. The vibes were so off. I was posting and ghosting anyway, and only very occasionally when I felt like I had to.

If I wasn’t so staunchly anti-ai, I would ask it why all the anime my husband likes is ugly af.

I went to miniso today so I have no more executive function left and I need to lie down for a few hours in the dark.

ACAB includes zootopia.

I’m trying to decide if I should make more of these, or if I should take a break on mugs for a bit. But these ones make me so happy!

I had to take a forced break this afternoon.

I have like 4 books about moths and butterflies to pick up from the library tomorrow and I am very excited about it and grumpy that I’m too busy today to swing by. I’m contemplating going moth heavy on some upcoming pieces.

Been a while since I posted any pretty finished work. Here’s a kinda chunky vase I made in the fall. It’s possibly my favourite piece from the last batch, mostly because it was a joy to decorate, rather than being the best looking.
