Did a couple of pet portraits for a pal today. Kato, his big smiley guy, was a pleasure to know for all of his 14yrs.

We don’t deserve dogs, but you would never know it from all the love they give us 🖤

It’s not often that I carve out time for personal projects but this little zine has been stuck in my brain for months and months and needs to come out.

Did a little screenprinting last night for a short run of merch that will be available at a few of the Little Ghosts PopUps we’ll be at in the next 8 weeks. Gunna be a busy season!
A silkscreen full of black ink sits next to a pale pink tote. On it is printed “No Gods No Billionaires” in a prickly heavy metal font. A black denim jacket is laid out. “No Gods No Billionaires” is printed on the back in white in a jagged heavy metal font.

Saw Superman.

Had to make some stickers about it.

Every now and then I see pictures after an event and think.

I wish I could send this to past Chris. Then he would know that, even though so much of the ride is painful, there would be moments like this to make it less heavy.

Bi-weekly life drawing is cool.

💜
Three people sit at a table looking to the left while drawing on various sketch pads. I’m the middle guy. A sketchbook is open on a desk. It is a line art ballpoint pen drawing of a man in a jumpsuit, leaning back in a chair.

Making some hand screenprinted totes for Indie Bookstore Day @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social
🖤 🔪📚
A lineup of natural totes hanging on a line. A black and white illustration says FINAL GIRLS READ BOOKS with the bottom half of a face holding a butcher knife with one hand and a book with the other. Two totes hang on a line. A black and white illustration says FINAL GIRLS READ BOOKS with the bottom half of a face holding a butcher knife with one hand and a book with the other. The image is blood splattered with read, both a little different. Underneath, a caption that reads “No Two the Same.”

Transgender Dysphoria Blues. 💙
Lil cartoon Chris makes coffee as a barista, goes to the gym, plays D&D with a table full of pals, and reads at home with a dog curled nearby. He is a scraggy dude with a beard. Chris looks in the mirror, and reflected back is a smoll girl. The word “fuck” is at the bottom of the drawing.

Sometimes, you make something.

It started as a dream only you could see, and you shape it into something real. But now it is in the world with you, you can’t protect it. You take all of the hits to keep it, but it crumples back into itself, stops resembling the vision that made it.

Goodbye, dream
