Hello! I am Melissa a Mixed Media Artist and illustrator. I made some silly drawings of my cats and put them on tote bags, tee shirts, stickers, and some postcards. Here are the tote bags. mrivdesigns.bigcartel.com/product/tote...

Going to join my community fiber arts guild that meets in a historical woolen mill. Learn spinning and weaving to create even larger and more elaborate textile penis sculptures. This is my goal for 2026.

Come and see some technicolor textile penis sculptures. Lovingly handcrafted by a silly little artisan smut peddler. www.instagram.com/p/DRzc9vSEbw...

I love this tradition. Everyone is included no matter their artistic abilities. It’s fun, creepy, and original.

Han Solo and Princess Leia

A sinister looking Pinocchio

Alice and wonderland with walking rabbits

Some of my favorite scenes

A wizard of oz scene

An exhausted looking Glenda and a baby dressed like the tin man

The Wicked press tour is taking its toll on Glenda.

Crossfaded Santa. A penguin with a beak coming from the side of its head.

A startled Christmas elf.

Santa and an elf

Two toy soldiers giving each other a hand.

Every year a group of volunteers stage a series of holiday scenes in the livestock barn of the county fairgrounds. Welcome to Christmas Storybook Land.

Uncle John’s terrible takes cannot stand up to the fact that the NYPD had to stab a rouge Barney the Dinosaur in 1997.

Fill your head with Thanksgiving Parade balloon disaster trivia and interject the factoids when someone starts spouting propaganda and or racism.

Everyone in my house has a bad cold. We are getting cozy and watching Twin Peaks. The series is even more brilliant when you are off your tits on cold meds.

I have added some small original collages to my site. I used paper from a pocket encyclopedia from the 1930’s and an assortment of images and illustrations. It makes a small and affordable gift for art lovers. mrivdesigns.bigcartel.com/product/batt...

I bought something for a gift and now I must receive 4 daily text messages and 5 emails even when I opt out. I don’t want to buy anything anymore. My desire for material goods has been cured. I will reach enlightenment due to direct marketing.

I have posted a small collage kit on my site. It contains die cut images, an assortment of vintage paper scraps, and some card stock bases. You can create several original collages. You just need a cutting tool and some glue. mrivdesigns.bigcartel.com/product/coll...

It’s ok you can say it

I find it funny that certain local companies advertise benefits as a perk when they fought for months to gut benefits and participated in union busting.

They are the worst. My husband got one with a grotesque photoshop of the union president. It’s gross.

I am so tired of explaining this to grown adults.

Food is made by people, for people. Yes there is automation, but you have to pay highly skilled and knowledgeable people at all levels of the supply chain.

Yes, things are expensive. If they sell out close to the holidays be prepared to see a markup due to increased demand.

I work in fine food for my day job. I need people to understand a few things. First, just because you can find produce in your local grocery store year round doesn’t mean it’s in season.

Going to participate in the tradition of my father and grandfather. Put on a Ken Burns Documentary and pass out on the couch.

The body. It’s keeping score. Maybe a large bowl of pho will fix me.

Aww what a cutie!
