Running a small order of these for Momocon this year! #merch #momocon

a little money can fix your HURTBREAK 🪙🦾 new ULTRAKILL charms came in, im really happy with the execution on these. wanted to try some new techniques out and learned a lot. BIG fan of the Providences as enemies…

ehejehe. i’m so happy with my progress on these bags ink tank ita bag created by @toripng.com, side order ita bag created by @andromedia.bsky.social!

I'm closing up shop tomorrow!! Online store will not reopen until latter half of June. I will be at Momocon and Colossalcon Prime! :)

Ok so these arrived far earlier than expected... Ink tank bag preorders however are still set to ship after I return from Colossalcon- early June- due to limitted time I have rn (con prep). BUT YAY! #merch

I think my imposter syndrome goes insane this time of year.

Interrupting my usual yapping again cause THESE GUYS FINALLY MADE IT- these are the best pins I've ever designed... I'm DEFINITELY biased but oh my god 🥺 #merch

When I say "don't use Etsy" I'm not judging art businesses from a moral highground stance. I'm begging you all to try your best to figure out how to own what you're doing. The side effect of becoming less governable by these systems is something that I am happy for but I just want you to survive.

With how many straight up scams are on Etsy this is wild. WILD.

IT’S MY HUSBAND!!!!! @toripng.com

@toripng.com massive new pin for my collection. I now need a new pin hexagon. Can't wait to take all my pins to NAIC with me >:)

I got this order safely after another month of processing and about 1k in extra fees. I'm going to take this as an opportunity to walk you all through what went down in case this ever happens to you! ⏩

I don't feel like speaking directly at pitches that pose the idea that selling your art is a privilege b/c most aren't acting in good faith. But there are aspects of owning your work + making a living that Are a privilege- but the REAL TAKE is that owning your work should be The Standard.

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

For so many more reasons beyond what was revealed today, you should quit using Kickstarter. My radical idea everyone loves to contest personally is that everyone should just simply quit using Kickstarter, Etsy, Twitter, Amazon, and the list continues into services people start more defensive about.

It wouldn't have been a Gala without someone being fashionably late! Introducing the Golden Gala Pins! Created by the talented @toripng.com, these special pins are available to order on tori's shop! They will also be available at Gridlock 2026! Get yourself this commemorative pin now! Link Below!

@toripng.com THANK YOU SM FOR THESE PINS, THEY ARE EVEN PRETTIER IN PERSON AND OML THEY ARE MASSIVE!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!!

Sorry for the shorter notice on this- I will be opening shop around noon on Saturday! 5/9! This will not feature restocks of awaited items like ita bags and combo banners- those will be listed in June instead ⏩ shop.toripng.com #merch #minecraft #pixelart

Costs did go up with pins but getting the new titans in hand makes me remember how much I love the medium- finally finished a Raiders design. #splatoon

MX Paint Ita Bags (mini) have been ordered- currently I plan to order a lot more wallets as well but I am actually sampling a new material for them since the application of the design might be able to hold on better to something different! Restock of the minis is estimated for September :)

the wait is over!! my squid and octo carabiners will release online TOMORROW, MAY 8TH! 🦑🐙

Man I really vibe with this edition as a last hurrah, I loved the gold and the purple metal was my original intention (chromatized is tricky) but this one is so crisp. #merch #splatoon

my pin banner from @toripng.com arrived :D super cute!

Redraw of a near decade old print- this one (old version) was a best seller for me so I thought to revisit it. #splatoon

This one's for the fellow Balatro enthusiasts out there: Naneinf print! 🃏🔥 This build is guaranteed to help you score infinite chips (just be sure to pick up the retcon voucher in case The Plant shows up..)

🩵💛

Also sorry about the lack of announcement re: shop reopening dates, I've been stressing a little about some logistics related things regarding whether or not we might have to move this summer (homeowner has a track record of pretty last minute communication). I'm working on new listings still and-

IN HAND 🔥

Brand New acrylic charms for my Splatoon homies out there: Story Mode Save Files 🦑🐙💾 These are floppy disk styled charms of Salmon run, Octo Expansion, Alterna, and Side Order. All with different shells, disks, and little details- check em out!

Back on my rejection streak- I have a feeling I'm not going to get into any more shows for this year but I'll try to keep good updates if anything changes. What's interesting is that I will be able to do a full year statistic run for application acceptance rates that I'd be chill sharing!

How hungry... #merch

Patting myself on the back rq cause I think these turned out quite nice #merch

They all drive a Mercedes-Benz #pixelart #deltarune

Last thing I'll say re: 1 moq merch stuff. I did literally thousands of commissions before I ever had my work sent to a manufacturer to produce as goods. I did not just magically get to where I am- I've been doing this for 8 years. I never had to seek out low MOQ, I just assessed risk and saved.

I'm ordering new stickers and this was in my folder, I don't think I've ever used it... I think I'll print it for fun look at 'im 🥺

OK ENOUGH YAPPIN- I have some actual art to post- I don't usually post from my sketchbook but these two I drew on the plane, latter one inspired by the raiders hairstyles!! #splatoon #oc

Also sorry I'm yapping so much- I want to emphasize that like I'm never judging people who use these options. The reason I bring up my thoughts on it is because communal effort is what makes change. It's not all or nothing it's doing what you can as soon as you can.

I also hate to mostly criticize but have less to offer in terms of alternatives despite most of these not being a 'need' necessarily- I have been frequenting my local makerspace and I do want to actually make videos of how to make things I'm just bad at video editting 💀

Can we have a conversation about ACG goods or is it still too early?

I hate to say it but I want to point out that fem identifying and non-binary staff/TOs have been the ONLY people I've seen willing to attempt discussion about general behavior improvements in both online and in-person scenes and more often those conversations have been shut down by strange excuses.
