I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends. This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.

Small spooky short story books 📚 that you can hang on the tree for the holidays. They’ll make excellent holiday gifts or stocking stuffers for your bookish friends and horror story fanatics. If you’re not into dark and spooky, there’s also the classic Christmas tale: “The Gift of the Magi”.

🎄 🎁 🦌 The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry This is a tree ornament book! I will be selling this and other short story miniature books that will make a great addition to your trees this winter at The Obscure in Los Angeles. #christmas #treeornament #christmasornament #bookbinding #giftofthemagi

China is apparently rolling out a law that requires influencers to have a degree to talk about important subjects like finance, health and law by the way. Given the amount of twats with podcasts single handedly spreading misinformation and destroying society, I don’t think this is a bad plan.

Mask up, people. N95 or better.
