So..... we're in a pickle right now because we had to drop $1500 on a refrigerator unexpectedly, so we're putting up a SALE 🔥🛒🔥

Today I was shaken out of my depression fog, I felt so inspired to make art. I think I just need a week to create paintings, the most beautiful I can make.... a bootcamp for myself.

Poppy Inu Co. debuts this SAT and SUN (May 31st - June 1st, 2025) at Downtown Burbank for the “Burbank Summer Arts Festival”!

The Lightbox lineup looks AMAZING

The ✨BIG REVEAL✨ of what I’ve been cooking this past month: I made a gachapon machine! Inspired by native California drought-tolerant flowers, the microfiber cloths are sublimated with eco-friendly ink and pressed locally (by yours truly!) 🏵️🌵🪻🌸

New pfp!

Financial burden makes it so hard to create anything new. 😔 How can anyone create during all these terrible geopolitics and economic hardship?

hi on January 10 at around 9 pm, someone stole this backpack and a laptop bag out of my car while I was loading up to evacuate from the LA fires. whoever took it please return the sentimental items, particularly a bag with handwritten notes from my parents and my dads lord of the rings books

I sleep so much better at night knowing that no matter how hard life can be as an artist right now, I am not a petty and argumentative generative AI artist grifter. Create, don’t scrape. 🌼

🌼Make some packaging with me!🌼 A limited set deal for all 3 of my tea towels can be found ONLY at the holiday markets I’m tabling at!

I know this might not be common knowledge, but it's kind of not good small biz manners to walk up to someone's table and ask who their manufacturer is..... Any advice on what a vendor should say when a stranger asks this?

Comics writers, if you END a balloon with a ellipsis, and the idea continues into a 2nd balloon, it's standard practice amongst almost all mainstream publishers to BEGIN the 2nd balloon with an ellipsis. Same goes for double dashes. (I end up correcting a million of these.)

Hey all! I'll be selling my cotton goods and art at Downtown Burbank in front of Verdigo tonight! 🛍️ Shop small for the holidays! 🎄 Hope to see you there! ❄️

❄️TOMORROW at 6:00PM!❄️ I'll be tabling at The Animation Guild's TAG Holiday Gift Market! It's in Burbank at the guild and it's open to the public! Friends, family and fans are invited! ❄️🎄

If you guys are looking to do something for Saturday (11/30), there’s this Ube Makers Mart that’s celebrating all things ube flavored! Cakes, mochi, dessert and a TON of Filipino food 🇵🇭

❄️HOLIDAY SCHEDULE❄️

Rewatching Arcane makes so sad because I remember when it came out, AI wasn’t a huge threat yet, the game and animation layoffs hadn’t begun and everyone was so hopeful for this new era of animation 😢

I am actually so over art teacher hiring jobs that are like “must teach MULTIPLE visual arts disciplinaries, plan all the curriculums on your own, grade all assignments for all lessons, be a leader, be a collaborator, attend every faculty meeting, expect to work weekends” for…… $20 an hour?!

We were two of your safety marshalls and check in volunteers for March On The Boss at WBD! 🦺📢 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for bringing that ✨ENERGY✨! 🗣️ 1, 2, 3, 4, we can’t take it anymore! 🗣️ 5, 6, 7, 8, studios, negotiate!

I’ve deleted all my tweets. It’s really sad because I tried to save photos + videos of old friends and of Frodo as much as I could. But it’s just too weird that Elon Musk now will have government positioning lol. I can’t in good conscience continue to use that platform any longer. Onto new things!

I've been listening to the Wicked soundtrack again and I can't tell you how much I wish this movie was 2D ANIMATED. That would have been so dope!!!! 😭 We could have had it all!!!
