I guess you can have pinned posts now so. Hi! I’m Ion, I do a lot of brightly colored designs. I love folklore, and also tokusatsu. I design and sell pins and stickers and whatnot and I do take commissions.

You ever think about the wacky emotional whiplash Majima’s dudes (Nishida) went through being primed for this legendary serial killer to murder their boss with his bare hands and assume control of the family, then he shows up with nothing but loving eyes and soft warm smiles 🖊️🦑

Realized today a lot of my shopping now is seeing something new that sounds good looking at the back and going "why is there wheat in this?" I know the answer is probably thickening agent but it's still annoying

Throwback to these tigers I made back in August for Giant Robot's Odd Folk & Fables show! 🐯✨🖤

The bigger one has sold but the mini-me is available via Giant Robot here:

A large ceramic black sgraffito tiger sculpture that features a large California Poppy motif crawling up the side of it’s body. The pose of the piece is as though the tiger is elegantly stalking towards something (or someone). There is also an adorable miniature version of the larger sculpture pictured alongside it as though it’s a tigress and her cub.

I made these brushes free for whoever wants them, but if you download and share this a bunch it raises my chances of winning some clippy, so if you wanna pass them on and share them consider that like tipping me for my trouble haha

I kept meaning to make some bespoke set-dressing chains for Pipeburn so I don’t need to ink every individual link in every individual panel like I did last time, so I decided to actually enter one of those Clip Studio Asset Challenges for once assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail...

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

With the aurora popping up again last night, I thought I'd repost this adventure from last year. I drew this when the great @nepeteaa.bsky.social wondered what night-migrating songbirds might make of it all. Part 1/2
A seven-page comic. On page 1, the sun begins to set over an autumnal scene in a forest. The sun continues to set, reflected in the eye of a bird. The sun finishes setting, reflected in the bird's eye and zoomed out a bit. The bird has various hues of stormy blue feathers. The sun has fully set and the stars are out, and the bird, a female Black-throated Blue Warbler, says "It's time." On page 2, the bird says "Ready for another night of migration?" to a male Black-throated Blue warbler, who replies "I ate all the good bugs in this forest, so, sure." She says "Okay. Let's do this." They take off from a branch, saying "Up up up." They hit their cruising altitude and fly through the starry darkening sky. On page 3, they are flying along and the male says "I think this trip is going pretty good so far-" And the female interrupts "Wait." There's a green reflection in her eye. She says "There's something behind us." They turn and see the eerie glimmer of aurora. The male says "Oh" On page 4, the male says "What is... Is that wildfire smoke?" And the female says "I don't think so." They book look alarmed. He says "Should we fly faster? Try to get away?" and she says "No, now it's in our flight path, too!" The aurora has spread and dances through the sky. Some of it becomes pink. He says "It's everywhere!" and she says "I... I don't understand."

If you need to step away from the onslaught of horrors for a moment may I suggest watching the first episode of Mystery Cuddlers? We wanted to make a sweet silly show. I think you'll like it!

Hey, I'm all here for the death of Funko but I need people to look at how the tariffs have hurt giant brands like this and then carefully think about how us indies are doing because trust me, we're feeling it FAR worse.
