There are still some very fuzzy (and at this point very old) winter pieces in my shop.

You can find this hoodie dress embroidered with winter trees here: theragegarden.etsy.com/listing/1055...

It's more of a fall item with the leaves, but it's warm! And warm is certainly a need right now. People willing to go out in their communities and cause good things? Also a need right now.

You can find this fuzzy pullover that encourages you to change the world here: www.etsy.com/listing/1783...

Good morning! Like I said, it's very snowy here, and I think it's beautiful, but if you already miss the flowers, I can help you out! These are "Green Ivy Flowers," and they'll bloom any time of year in any lighting. Perfect for winter!

Find them here: www.etsy.com/listing/4411...

It's snowing here today, and I'm thrilled, but cold weather isn't everyone's vibe. Here's a shirt to remind you that "It won't be cold forever" with some little embroidered spring flowers in the snow. 🌸❄️

Psssssst. There are now four winter coats in the shop. I'd love to have fewer coats than that and know they are being used to keep people warm this year. ❄️😉

The rain didn’t spoil this romantic picnic because they really enjoy each other’s company. (Commission)

Guess what hit the shop just in time for Small Business Saturday? All the flowers from my self-hosted art show from last August. They can now go anywhere I can ship from the U.S.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

I had a major sinus infection on Thanksgiving, so I didn't get to do my usual post of what I'm thankful for, but here's a picture of some of it!

I'm thankful for the two friends who placed orders in my shop immediately after I posted

I'm overjoyed when my art inspires more art. This is a version of the flower from my "Soda Flowers" piece, and it's about to become a rug!!! Drew reached out to me about making this, and I gave it an enthusiastic yes. I hope purchase one of my flowers as a rug for my home eventually! ❤️

These things don't want to flatten, but I persevere. Remember to get print orders in by December 15th if you want it on this shiny paper. You can order here:

I'm still working on flattening out my prints. Grabbed two of the textbooks I've collected from professors' used book piles over the year.

The titles are unrelated. But they could be!

Showing you all this print before I've even got it flattened but for a good reason: I ordered a few shiny prints from my favorite print supplier, but the shiny paper is getting discontinued at the end of the year (I'm the only one who orders it, and it's about to shoot up x4 in cost).

Just a heads up: My Etsy store still exists, and I'm planning a winter coat drop on December 1st at 12:00PM EST!

The pin coat is very small, and the yellow coat is more of a small or medium. You'll be able to see full measurements when the listings go live.
