Only three more days until #WashingtonHorrorCon. Come visit my table, B5, in the artist alley, which is in the Pavillion 1 building. Swing by, say hi, and check out the new stickers and the new issue of Hannibal's Sketchbook that I've put out.

Can't wait to hang out with everyone.

Lez Go!

Even more new stickers. So I tend to say "Lez go", rather than "Let's go", because I'm a #Sapphic mess of a bisexual. I hope this vibrates... I mean resonates... with y'all.

This'll be another sticker debuting at #WashingtonHorrorCon next weekend. Can't wait to see yall there.

Kink-'Splaining

Another new sticker design. I've had this idea for over a year and it was so rewarding to finally create it. This'll be another sticker up for sale at Washington Horror Con.

Let's Jack-Elope

Puns are my love language, and the Jackalope's love language too, apparently.

Another new sticker design that I'll be debuting at Washington Horror Con. Gotta have some cryptids for the horror peeps.

Baphomet Respects Pronouns

Another new sticker design to debut at Washington Horror Con, just 2 weeks away. I really like this design, it's the reassurance and support I need right now.

We're living through some unprecedented times, be good to each other.

Hannibal's Sketchbook issue 3 have arrived! I've packaged up the pre-orders.

I've updated the Etsy listing so it reflects that the sketchbooks are in and ready for sale. I hope everyone enjoys this new volume as much as I do. I'm so proud of how it turned out.

The proof copy of Hannibal's Sketchbook volume 3 arrived and it's glorious. I've got the pre-order set up on my Etsy. The comics should arrive early October!

I've been having fun lately learning how to crochet. Amigurumi are just about the perfect projects for my ADHD: they're cute, they only take a day or two to complete, and they utilize relatively simple stitches and techniques so I can get lots of practice in.

My father requested a painting of a white egret, hopefully watercolor.

I try to make him a piece of art for his birthday every year. I was 2 months late, but I think he liked it.

Puma floral headdress.

Had fun creating this piece using a flower crown I'd been gifted back at Fannibal Fest Toronto, 2018. Using thrifted fake floral and greenery, along with a puma skull I'd bought from Frozen Critters a while back, I've assembled a headdress for my upcoming handfasting. #skull

Life is wild, right now, huh?

Been so long since I just let myself have fun painting skulls.

None of us are getting out of this alive, so let's be excellent to each other.

Time: Roughly an hour & a half

Time to head to #ECCC2025. Here's to hoping I'm able to say hi to all the other #Fannibals there! See y'all soon.

I'm going to see if I can give art packs, of my Hannibal Sketchbooks and art prints, to Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen at #ECCC2025.

#Fannibals Wish me luck. I'm feeling uncharacteristically anxious about fucking up the social interaction, while all I want to do is give back in my small way.

I don't get requests for commissions too often at shows, largely because I don't advertise it as much as I used to. But yesterday I got a request for Obi Wan and Cody touching foreheads, and I like how it came out. The commissioner loved it, which is the most important thing.

I keep forgetting to post when I'm at a show. Today is the final day of #FanExpPDX, which has been a blast so far. Slow on Friday but Saturday picked up and Sunday is looking good so far. If you're attending, swing by and say hello. Artist Alley 300.

I just found out my accommodations for this weekend fell through. I'm going to be vending at Fan Expo Portland this weekend (Friday through Sunday) and I'm trying to see if anyone in the Portland area is willing to let me crash on their couch.

I'll gladly give some of my art in trade.

Here's a selfie from today. Look how my beard is coming in! I dressed up for my first day at a new department, and I am actually loving how I look for once. Death's-head hawkmoths give me confidence! They remind me that I too can bluff my way into a bee hive by dressing the part and winging it.

Some more watercolor practice. Figured I'd paint one of my little cacti planters. It came out really cute. They look like they're ready to set off on an adventure.

I was doing some blending practice, trying to get a feel for what edge control looks like with watercolors. My final exercise was a still life of my kiddo's water bottle. There's something delightful about this painting. It has a life to it, a sense of joyful existence.

Borrowed inspiration from one of my kid's Pokémon cards as watercolor practice. It's definitely my weakest traditional medium.

I was experimenting with wet into wet, wet into dry, salt texturing, and more. Real cheap brushes, but a decent watercolor palette.

"Abnegation"

Often in our attempts to be accepted and loved, we deny ourselves and perform self-censorship.

A rare personal piece about my struggles with depression and how isolating it can become.
