Gotta sell these cups!! Made a couple years back when my roommate was trying to get into doing shows with me and they've been hanging around ever since he got into 3D printing. Buy one to help us pay for his wisdom tooth extraction and my replaced car battery! 🚗☠️🦷

Some glass cups with bamboo lids. Four of the designs feature dark or spooky versions of popular Pokemon, and one is of a generic Jack Skellington face in an evil/happy grin. Three glass cups with bamboo lids. One has adorable kitties playing with pumpkins, one has Trico from the Last Guardian on it and comes with identical stickers, and one has a bunch of playful Gengars on it.

It's International Save the #Vaquita Day!

With fewer than 20 left, the vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day.

A painting of 2 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2025 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back. This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!
