On December 6 I’m taking part in Seattle’s Punk Rock Flea Market, which just has the coolest vibes. It started as a fundraiser for Low Income Housing Programs & now just takes over abandoned buildings & sells local art (& donates to LIHP after each show)

Anyway. I helped make a promo for them.

Contract is signed and I’m thrilled to say that my quiet slipstream ghost story “Day 3” will be a part of the MIDNIGHT LABYRINTH anthology! This story has all the trauma your therapist wishes you’d examine. It hurt like hell to write; I hope it hurts you all to read 😅 @grendelpress.bsky.social

Went on an art date today. I don’t hate this but it definitely taught me some things 😂

First commission piece is done! I’m so proud of it! Just waiting for the hanging bit to cure & I’ll send it off to its new home. (The client found me at a small SFF con & said his ex would love one if the colors were different & commissioned it on the spot)
