It’s hard to enjoy a Carvel cake in Hell but the Devil seems to be happy and isn’t that all that matters? PS. The cake was inspired by a plastic Fisherprice toy cake I had as a kid; however it included no number 6s to put on top.

It’s difficult not to put together ransom-note-esque writings like this when assembling snips of text for the zine and creativity kits (The latter is formerly on sale—check them out via the link in my bio and choose Etsy!)

Time to get crafty—there’s a new goody in the Etsy shop, and it’s a creativity kit! Snag a collection of thoughtfully sourced, one-of-a-kind paper ephemera and add it to the homemade sketchbook/junk journal that’s included. Just add glue and any other artsy bric-a-brac you’d like!

I reworked another old drawing (the third slide is the original) but couldn’t decide on the face for my forlorn fisherperson. I think I like the one on the first slide, but my honey likes the hillbilly despair shown in the second slide. Which do you prefer?

It’s September now, so this flash sheet has those back-to-school/junior high vibes, but with a late ‘90s/early ‘00s twist, since that’s when I was a budding adolescent, putting up cryptic AIM away messages, wearing scrunchies, slipping notes in lockers, and taping songs off the radio.

While I’m waiting for the silly FedEx truck to show up, why not post a flash sheet on this Friday of a bunch of tasty snacks that I initially drew in 2017, revamped several years later, and then turned into a sticker sheet that you can get in the Etsy shop (link in bio)?
