this isn't a decision to make lightly. i've watched the reputable veterans of this event go through hell this year. family deaths, natural disasters, other life altering messes. their resilience is admirable and a testament to them. but we need a couple days to breathe. it's the responsible choice.

THIS IS ALL TO SAY: if you find yourself not seeing as many hand crafted artisans at the con(s) you frequent, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, it might mean they didn’t get in! Good cons want your feedback, if you want more hand made, tell them! :)

Periodic reminder! I make all the prints on paper I sell by hand, each color individually, with screens I burn or blocks I carve and package them all myself. I don’t print my own shirts, however I have never hidden this fact and don’t lie and say I do! I use a vendor who lives in walking distance>

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

Go see Wildwood. Seriously, don’t wait—go see Wildwood. What a piece of art. The love for the manual craft, for story that doesn’t hold back, for filmmaking that is not here to answer to stockholders, it weaves all through it. Incredible stuff.

The Council of Destruction, laughing down at me for thinking that three layers of cord protectors can possibly stop them from chewing through the chandelier wire. #cockatiels

teachable moment here: this is what happens when you do not humanely stun and properly bleed fish. these were bycatch for roe harvest. make sure your fish are lights out + clip gills. less suffering, and, less blood means meat tastes better and stays fresher. please show respect for your food.

if you haven't seen #laika wildwood yet, holy shit. bringing back 1980s amblin PG-13. very much means its rating. 2 hours that respect every minute of you and your time. no spoilers. support human artists. best possible way to warm up from cutting salmon last minute right before the showing 😭

this is about the best i could do without my full kit + fish that had a lot of retained blood. i will be asking the source for these fish to dispatch them differently in the future. wasting any part of an animal during a job is always frustrating. i had to fillet them cat-style and lost the bellies.

"wow ken those belly cuts suck" it was 40 degrees out and someone else gutted them and took the heads and tails off with a knife i can best describe as a garden trowel before i got there. be nice.

I'm genuinely kinda surprised that I've never made these little cuties into plushes until now. #Coraline is genuinely one of my absolute favorite movies, and while I didn't intend to have matching button eyes, it sure seems we ended up in the same vibe Happy spooky season y'all #LAIKA #Halloween

so, fun fact did you know you can bypass most rental insurance breed bans by paying rent a week early every month and by not trashing your apartment with parties

broke: oh he's not banned, he's [obscure unrelated breed that will now be stigmatized if he bites a child because you can't control him in public] woke: landlord walks in, looks around, "there's no dents in the walls and it doesn't smell in here. your last two were fine. sure"

close friends and regulars know there's something i've been fighting for like a madman behind the scenes for about a year. i've had chances but had to say no because of other shit going on. things are finally right and it's time.

in a show of complete, possibly unwarranted, faith in my packaging abilities: yes. i do throw all of your orders from about 10 feet away into the shipping bin. i keep a record of which ones make the loudest noise. like a toddler. it keeps me sane. library guy has the longest standing record.

current weight record for a 7x12x4 box is 6lb 12oz. i am almost entirely sure this is the upper limit without the sides bowing out and a loss risk. however, some day, someone will prove me wrong. i think there's a C3 order from someone else that MIGHT beat it.
