SETTING THESE TO 65 USD INSTEAD! There's been an extra bill and now I'm pretty far from being able to pay rent in a week. I'd be thankful if you could share this as much as possible.

Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone! they seem to have given me good luck, my recovery this time has been MUCH better than last year’s was. I saw PT today, my incisions are already closing, & while I’m still in pain, it’s actually managed and I’ve even slept through the whole night once!

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

if you’re a trans american and following the news right now, it can feel pretty terrifying. that’s because it IS terrifying. just… the number one thing you can do right now is to live as long as humanly possible and make it to the other side of all this. because we WILL win. and that’s how.

i lived bitch

surgery tomorrow morning with a 5am arrival time! goodnight, by tomorrow hopefully I will have fewer bones and muscles but more blood flow! may it all go perfectly.

My second set of surgeries will be 9/15! This time it’s the right side and that’s my dominant arm so it’s pretty scary. I have every confidence in my surgeon and her team & I’m hopeful there will be no repeats of last year’s complications. If all goes well, by next summer maybe I can carve again!

WHY DO YOU LOOK FOR THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD?

“Saturn,” carved way back in 2018.

I’m working on more medallion designs that I can look forward to carving once I’m recovering from surgery! I would love to hear any ideas that you have for more tiny guys :)

I mean it, fellow Americans: call your reps about this. It seems small in the short run, but this is going to fuck up businesses, especially small ones, big time.

New frame day, featuring a piece I picked up from @houndsaint.bsky.social at Gencon. I used the same black dye & white grain effect on the previous two frames, but managed to get a glossier finish by finishing with wax. Always fun to add to add another piece to the bi-chrome wall.

Come see me and @stablercake.bsky.social in the DLCC at bizarro Anthrocon I mean Oddities & Curiosities Pittsburgh! We’ll be in the dealers den I mean vendor hall until 6 and 10-4 tomorrow!

We have unfurled the sails and we are open for business for Pyrate Invasion! We brought some rare treasures, including some stuff we had retired for several years, so be sure to be quick if you want the best loot!

If you're not covering your equipment in stickers, do you really love it? Ft significant presence from my besties @stablercake.bsky.social and @houndsaint.bsky.social ofc, because they make INCREDIBLE stickers

I'm so, so happy with this design and I couldn't be prouder to be repping my home convention as GOH this year!

I’ll be at IFC this weekend, then Pittsburgh Oddities & Curiosities the weekend after that, then I’ll spend 2 weeks tidying and prepping for surgery.

"The Duelist and the Troubadour" Painted in watercolor, & gouache on 140lb Arches hot press paper. Accented with genuine gold leaf. Available on @everydayoriginal.bsky.social everydayoriginal.com/product/duel... (I love that I forgot to spellcheck the actual listing page 🥲)

we do not have to engage with this idea in good faith, it's ableist and a shallow excuse for stealing. anyone can enjoy art, but when you give these people a paper and pencil they reject it. they want to skip to the praise and accolades they see artists receive, that's the whole thing. just childish

throwback to a piece I did for @Houndsaint.bsky.social. This was late 2018/early 2019? very "don't scare the dog, or they might hex you on accident" kind of vibe. Still a favorite! #bunnart

I love being trans and queer. every gender exploration and transition is a miraculous statement in favor of infinite human possibility. ok I love you bye

One those pieces that just don't work via a phone screen but there you go

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

They restock the GenCon store at the con daily, so if it says sold out worry not, it should be back tomorrow, and if it’s not I believe both of my designs will be available online through Rollacrit after the con!

The fire that will not be quenched

The first of 2 shirt designs I did for #GenCon this year! Done as a “sequel” of sorts to my Absit Omen werewolf carving.

Me and @stablercake.bsky.social are debuting these collab beauties at Anthrocon tomorrow! We’ll both have these iron-on patches and big beautiful silkscreens, come see us in the den at C18-20!! 🐈‍⬛🎏

We collaborated on this piece pretty much start to finish and it was a delight, our beautiful baby!

this big guy is one of only 2 remaining hand-painted prints left after AC, so look for him at GenCon! I plan to paint a bunch more in the next 3 weeks as I recover!
