Happy May Day! This is a great time to watch this three minute puppet film I made last year, which I promise you is topical.

game dev blueskeet is so good tonight

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

made some edible centerpieces for a dear friend's wedding this week!! i love having a little job at an event!!

dang, this poster for my film slaps

I will be here at one of my favorite shows, with zines and delightful things! Come and tell me your favorite bear facts!

I am very supportive of this USC unionization effort and hope that they win! (I am excluded, but only because adjuncts in my department are already unionized!)

heated chivalry

Nothing makes me more rededicated to my work than meeting amazing young students making wonderful work!! Thank you for having me, @ccacomics.bsky.social and @mgillman.bsky.social !!

#MakeAThing2026 Had to make a little guy to exchange with @shing.bsky.social at their artist talk for @ccacomics.bsky.social last night!!! So weird to go back to my old school now that so much has changed, but it was a lovely night!

Tonight at 7pm in room N203 on campus, join us for an artist talk with award-winning cartoonist, game designer, and puppeteer Shing Yin Khor @shing.bsky.social ! This event is free and open to the public, and is presented in partnership with the Queer Cultural Center. portal.cca.edu/events-calen...

wow, san francisco really understands environmental storytelling.

My partner Olive is in the last 16 hours of fundraising for their short film It Was A Beautiful Machine! We have about $1500 left to go, and you can get a lovely process zine(with some of my art in it)! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bel...

a new collection of work getting prepped for Beasts of Burden, the show at Archimedes Gallery in May with @leslielevings.bsky.social and @evafunderburgh.com

Come see Mel and I in conversation at CCA next week! I think I'm going to do a little guy trade - bring me a human-made drawing of a little guy and I'll give you a very tiny original painting of a little guy(we'll see how many I get done).

4/14 @ 7pm, join us at CCA for a talk by award-winning artist Shing Yin Khor @shing.bsky.social! Shing will be delivering a talk about making little guys, telling stories with objects, sustaining a multidisciplinary creative career, and the endurance of human-made art. portal.cca.edu/events-calen...

I had Johnny Cash's version of Hurt in mind when storyboarding this song, and while there are many departures, this is still very satisfying to look at.

an intercultural household means replacing the lamb shank on the seder plate with representation from the puppet half of my family

Floored by the simplicity and cleverness of this "sentences" mechanic! And the art is absolutely gorgeous - can't wait!!

We more than met our goal, but I upgraded our books, and our margins are tighter than I would prefer, so if you would like to Late Pledge for a two-person postcard game about holding on in uncertain times - it would also help me hold on in uncertain times! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

My dear friend Mey Rude lost her job at Out in a round of mass layoffs and is looking for work! She is one of the smartest and most incisive people I know, with an encyclopedic knowledge of (especially queer) pop culture and the hottest movie takes around. Please reach out if you have leads!

SO EXCITED to work on this! Shing is such an awesome collaborator and builder of worlds!

everything @shing.bsky.social makes is wonderful

Happy World Puppetry Day! We're closing our late pledges in 24hrs! This is a last chance to get in on process work for our short puppetry musical!

It is the last 25 hours to get in on this preorder of my new two person postcard writing game!!

I am starting production on Kickstarter rewards for our short puppet musical, so preorders for our art book and vinyl are closing! If you want one, get in on this! This is very limited; we are not making many extras. www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

New Kickstarter update for JANUARY featuring digital files AND book upgrades! Regarding our book upgrade: "In life and in printed material, I enjoy having a spine." www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

It is unorthodox, but I've released the digital files for JANUARY for free on itch.io before our Kickstarter has even ended! That's for two reasons - the game is done, AND I think you'll see the value of this as a beautiful, tactile and physical object. itch link here: sawdustbear.itch.io/january

The people who pledged for the original art tiers for JANUARY are in for a treat because Jared's collages are actually even cooler in person. The depth! The detail!

when i was 14, i had a Gargoyles OC named Psyche and now over two decades later, it just occurred to me that I could have done a little nod to my own initials and named her Psyke, which would have been an even cooler name for an OC you have when you are 14.

Thread, and also a reminder to go read/watch @shing.bsky.social’s “MAKE LITTLE GUYS: a (very brief) manifesto”. www.patreon.com/posts/make-l...

Uhhh, Jared brought over his collages yesterday and they are SO GOOD?! You've got about one week to get in on this preorder!

Hey, I'm teaching a class! Sign up to join this two-part online workshop in June through @pocosinarts to learn about my approach to narrative sculpting, how I construct, refine, & hollow a piece, + my tools and techniques for creating tiny finishing details! pocosinarts.org/product/big-...

I was really committed to a "do it in pre" approach to this film and am happy to announce that one of our only significant post VFX was adding pixelated dick to a shadow puppet. thank you, @lanawolverton.bsky.social

taking apart our puppet film sets and rebuilding some into smaller "self crating" boxes for my thesis exhibition!

The most helpful any everyday technology has ever been is GMail's "You wrote 'Attached is' but no files are attached." reminder and I don't need any tech to be more intelligent than that.

This feels like a very Bluesky coded question : does anyone know of an existing off-the-shelf case that fits an Olivetti Lettera well and snugly? The sturdier, the better - it's likely gonna travel a bit. (I have an OG case but it is in not great shape!)

Genuinely wish this was real because my puppet pals would have a field day. "You WISH you were good enough to make it up to the left hand of the puppet, Timmy."

Hey PDX pals! I am seeking recs for Portland, OR dessert spots (or restaurants with great dessert) that are intertwined/working with the local food justice community. (to be hired for an event - not asking them for money)

Attention Worldcon community—we just realized that the nominating period is open for this year's Hugo Awards. We have been finalists twice before (2016, 2017) and our 2025 album Dead Channel Sky—a dystopian cyberpunk rap rave—is eligible in the Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) category

new gorillaz day mostly an excuse to revisit the greatest tweet ever made

We are one week into the JANUARY campaign and it has been great. We are sending this to print immediately at campaign close and shipping once the books hit the warehouse(thanks, @whitesquirrel.com !), so you'll get this game real soon! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

I played a delightful game of ALL-CARDS with @geoffreygolden.bsky.social using a deck pulled from the Strange Beast Tarot, @jameybash.bsky.social's Tarot of Sorts and Alexander Burden's Tarot Obscura!

I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

Just launched: Press Pot Games' Mini Handmade #TTRPG #Zine Anthology Bundle In this, you can grab a bundle of 4, single-sheet, 8-fold zines, hand folded by me! Or you can grab a PDF and print on your own. You'll find games about a cat, a mosh pit, and a revolution. It's my love letter to my past.

I am very often asked for my crowdfunding advice and my best advice is really to just make things that are an accurate representation of your voice as an artist, don't make people wait too long to get them, and do it really consistently. two out of three might even be enough, but it will take years.

a few weeks ago, i said to my partner that I wasn't going to support anymore kickstarters this year. the week following, shing said they were launching this. i have a personal obligation to support literally anything shing does, so. you should get this.
