I know we're all feeling really frustrated lately. My way of dealing with it has been donating to causes that are fighting for my rights, working out so I won't get winded in a crisis, and making art about how I'm feeling.

Sometimes when I have art block, I do studies. Pinterest art tutorials aren’t deep, but they’re fun.

Last month, the fires in Los Angeles were some of the worst natural disasters in US history.
We set out to donate 100% of our January profits to the LA Food Bank to do our part and help out our community.
With my day job matching the donation, we were able to donate a total of $778!

Do you play #Lorcana or any other TCG that uses counters?
I couldn't stand the cardstock tokens that came with starter decks. After several iterations with feedback from friends, these might be the most engineered #3d prints I've designed.
They're also a fun fidget to spin with the magnets!

Imposter syndrome is hard as a multi-disciplined artist. Spend a decade honing your skills on one kind of art and the moment you go back to another you don't do as often, and feel like you have no idea what you're doing. Or maybe that's just me.

As sure as the sun will rise, trans people will continue to exist. Today, we keep up the fight for our existence.
Subtle #pride merch I’ve been playing around with. I’ve been considering doing 2D prints in my shop as well as our normal 3D.

Gosh it's hard to be creative when it feels like everything around is falling apart. Remember to rest up so we can keep up the fight. (This is also a reminder to me)

Whenever I have trouble thinking of what to draw, I do a study. This time, I got inspired by a stunning photo of @bukkitbrown.bsky.social

As a #3dprinting business that strives to be as close to zero waste as possible, we got creative with #recycling our waste filament.

Reposting my own comment just to share some of these images more broadly and the fact we are donating our proceeds this month.
Despite the studio name, I'm a single trans artist with a very supportive wife who does the paperwork. I design goth and queer 3d art that I print myself. We're also donating all profits to the LA fires this month, so 2 causes in one.

It's wild to me that I made this post a week before January 19th. Now it's doubly so. As a queer person I'll have nothing to do with a platform owned by an actual fascist. #twitter #artist #3dpringing #smallbusiness #downwiththeologarchs

Today has been really hard, but I finished rearranging my office and got orders packed. I've done enough.

We need help. Real help. Not some bullshit platitudes, or walking on eggshells worried you’ll say the wrong thing. Actual support and community.

I think so many of us learned so many things about ourselves and about the world from Tiktok. Let's keep that energy alive!
Pouring one out for TikTok. There are a lot of people, including queer and trans people, whose lives will be wrecked by the decision to ban it. It will also significantly reduce the ability of young queer people to see positive representations of themselves.
It’s a sad day for many.

Probably my favorite prints that I've ever designed is my set of cathedral window coasters.
This started as a test to see how 3 color filament looked in different top layer patterns. The spiral pattern looked like stained glass and this was the natural next step.
