I made this as a goof a few weeks ago, and thought I may as well release it into the world. Fare thee well, Lowly Yaldabaoth!

The Great Michigan Pizza Funeral was the ceremonial disposal of 29,188 frozen cheese-and-mushroom pizzas in Ossineke, Michigan, on March 5, 1973.[1][2] The manufacturer, Ilario "Mario" Fabbrini,[3] had been ordered to recall the pizzas by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after initial tests suggested the presence of botulism-causing bacteria in a batch of canned mushrooms.

When you have to meet up with your cheating ex in an abandoned wax museum because he kidnapped your childhood nanny in an effort to get you back and then a raccoon and a bunch of pigeons scare the shit out of him. πŸ™„

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

I know there's dozens of things to contact reps about every single day, but today please contact them about keeping USPS independent. Privatizing USPS would be devastating for so many reasons, but personally it would destroy my small business if I can't have affordable/accessible service. 5calls.org

A Retro sci-fi femme fatale with a dumb gun and an impractical latex dress peeks around a wall to see the commander of an evil organization in a video call. Two people look over a control pane.

Obnoxious psychedelic trees and colorful blobs that could suggest bushes if refined some.

I almost want to use this version of something I’m working on but too many of my story beats are β€œafraid in the dark.”

A detail from a project I’ve been working on for a while now. I put the goat in there specifically for the enjoyment of one of my friends.

I can’t seem to sleep until I’m exhausted so I scribbled this kid about to scarf down some croissants until I could.

Made a couple of cards today, a little rough around the edges but cute enough. The inside is painted to look like an open mouth 🦷

Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
