Waking up to whistles and honking is a fun new Twin Cities thing my body and mind absolutely loathe.

The 2026 Winter Preorder to support MN is now live.

January 26 - Feb 9

The message is important. Using clothing and art messages and ideas spread passively and organically, without the intervention of algorithms, and build communities and shared identity.

This fundraiser aims to be a small spark in the firestorm that is to come.

Why help this fundraiser?
This is an important moment, for all of us. If what you see happening around you calls you to action then an easy one is to share, wear, or hang some art, start conversations, and support causes on the frontlines of the resistance.

Part I of the Winter 2026 Fundraiser preorder is live. This limited preorder helps provide funds to organizations on the ground in Minnesota and Minneapolis, helping those affected by federal occupation by ICE who is murdering and kidnapping our neighbors.

To honor and remember Alex J Pretti, Renee N Good, and all of those who have lost their lives and loved ones to ICE.

BREAKING: Federal agent shoots man in south Minneapolis A Bring Me The News reporter was near the scene, and recorded multiple gunshots.

“Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.”

A mile away, another person has been shot by ice. I saw his body go limp in a video and seconds later a rush of helicopters flew overheard.

They have continued for almost an hour

ICE is government sanctioned and led terror. They are not here to do good, they are incapable of it.
Do not be misled, do not be silent, do not let the bastards get away with this.

These bastards are terrorizing people, kidnapping them, disfiguring them, and murdering them. Minneapolis has been occupied for 7 weeks, and their violence, threats, and retaliation towards unarmed observing bystanders will only lead to more suffering and loss.

To honor and remember. RIP to Renee Good and all of those murdered by 🧊
Please join me Monday Jan 26th when I will be releasing this designs on garments to raise funds for those affected most in Minneapolis.
Proceeds will benefit: Indivisible Twin Cities, MIRAC, and Joyce Uptown Food Shelf.

Have been spending time with this piece over the last week, hoping to have fundraisers live on Thursday.

It is not only deeply unsettling and alarming, but surreal to repeatedly see where you live in the news/on socials in this way. The sounds of whistles and honking, or of silence fill the air, the general bustle of this busy street has been transformed dramatically in less than two weeks.

Monday afternoon I left a meeting, walked two blocks from my house and directly into an 🧊altercation with activists and protestors. Every day since then I have seen my block and heavy activity in the immediate area in person, but also in dozens of clips and news casts online.

Annual restock has arrived. I will be opening my shop in the next week and hope to have several preorders available to support Minneapolis fight back against the masked thugs in uniform terrorizing our communities. Please keep an eye out for the reopening and these important releases.

Bonuses go to “oh yeah! Im friends with *insert ex’s name*”

Local shows are always an amusing reminder of how long I have been in MPLS and how many people get a kick out of knowing someone who was my neighbor at one point.

Today it begins! Villain Arts Tattoo Festival in Minneapolis is this weekend. And yes, I finally have apparel with me! Come see a few new bits and say hello! Table 215 on the main floor.

ICE had been ramping up operations in Minneapolis.
No one is illegal! We need to abolish ICE and stop instilling terror and racist violence in our communities.
Proud of everyone who is protesting and standing up to the masked thugs masquerading as enforcement officers of an authoritarian state.

Tattoo convention this weekend has hours listed as from 11am-11pm and i get why. As a non-tattooing vendor my soul leaves my body.

Obsessed 🥰

This past June i lost part of my heart, and this November i found it again. 🖤

All of the admissions criteria for shows seems to ve a mystery. :/ and the variance between them is wild.

Lol. MoCCA hates me. Every year i have applied they deny my application. They are one of the only shows that has, but to be repeatedly denied by the Society of Illustrators feels significant and smarts.

Guess i am not enough of an illustrator. 🪦🤡
