the oracle has spoken

things I have said while drawing in the last week:
"wow I can't believe how much of my life I've wasted NOT drawing boobs!!"
"how do you cross your legs with backwards knees?"

(both prompted by the same illustration)

friendly reminder to boycott Wix! there are better and more professional web platforms out there that aren't based in "Tel Aviv"

transaction fees also benefit Wix, not just website subscriptions. I'd love to see my fellow artists and organizers move away from selling/invoicing through them.

(rewatch for both so thankfully the rage is minimal.)

nothing helps appreciate the finale of Breaking Bad quite like watching the finale of Dexter within the same 24 hours

fight toxic positivity in the workplace! if your boss asks "how are you?" in a small talk context and responds to your answer with "just ok?" like they're surprised, "still chronically ill & disabled" may be an underutilized option on your dialogue tree.

PSA:
stationary = not moving
stationery = stuff you write on

"e" for envelope. homophones are the only thing I will encourage my homos to keep straight.

Excited to hit the road this May! Flyer by the fantastic @cmy-kay.bsky.social

my collective has janky old laptops (for compatibility reasons lol) to make masters using digital files. I use the same process mentioned earlier in this thread for procreate drawings and export separations from Adobe Illustrator for vector art.

this is pretty accurate! from a file setup standpoint riso and screen printing are almost identical, but riso basically automates the process of making a stencil (aka master) and wraps it around an ink drum. riso can also handle finer detail and uses different ink. so finicky though!

anyway, welcome to my kitchen. the appliances are slightly less confused now.

the best time to be a procrastinator is after daylight savings starts or ends and you realize you put off changing the clocks for so long that they're telling the right time again

getting twisted for Trellis Tuesday 🧡

how long until someone makes a Gaga x Roan mashup of Killah and The Giver? asking for me

Trellis the calico cat sleeping with an "ACAB!" button partially under her head and a "1312" blackletter button in front.

Trellis the cat sniffs a lime green and black riso printed button that says "stinky baby"

showing Trellis new riso button designs. they seem to have passed the sniff test.

when I die I hope I come back as a bodega cat

angled and cropped sheet of lime green and black risograph button designs. bottom to top: "abandon your right to comfort", "bottoms & tops we all hate cops", "not a woman. just hot.", "ask me about my pronouns", heart and arrow, H.P. Lovecraft's Procrastinator, "high femme", syringe with green liquid

sneak peek at new lime and black riso buttons printed yesterday! this run is sci fi, 420, and ACAB inspired and also has new colorways of your old faves.

next step will be cutting these bad boys out for the button maker!

coffee ain’t gonna cut it today. i need to be abducted by aliens.

it's Trellis Tuesday and our heads are empty 🧡

when I was taking drawing classes back in the day, I never thought learning to draw mugs would translate to drawing biblically accurate angels. and yet, here I am finally making the most of my education a decade later.

black and lime green risograph print. "get off the internet!!" in bold lowercase text with browser icons and a grid background.

a piece from my 2023 archive getting new life in lime and black riso!
will hopefully be working on some buttons with this same color combo once our black ink is restocked.

no my group is mostly just obsessed with the wavy blue face in the intro haha

love this! I'm a fellow riso printmaker and currently watching season 3.

i like being an artist because i have a lot of stupid ideas. then i can turn them into reality and inflict them on everyone else
