🎨🎁 Why not shop small this season, and support an independent artist instead of multi-billionaires?

LOTS of new #artforsale in my shop, priced to sell! You can buy a piece & then watch how it was made in real-time on Gab 'n' Doodle, or vice-versa (related info in the comments ⬇️)

Do you do these #artvsartist things? Let’s see yours!
2025 was a great year. My picture book with @kimberlywilson.bsky.social, PIGGY BANK SAVES THE DAY came out in Sept

I had a blast on my Gab 'n' Doodle show, where #kidlit artists & I chat & make #art. Watch past eps on Insta & YouTube

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! My wife @mrshoffy made this, in a labor of love. I got her a green screen as an early XMas gift.

Two dogs dressed up as characters from the movie a Christmas story. One is dressed in a pink bunny costume. The other has a fishnet shirt on and a lampshade on her head. They are Photoshopped onto a stairway background from the movie.

Are you good at building things? What’s the last thing you built? Or are you inept when it comes to constructing something. I’ve made some furniture, but none of it is super complex.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)
