Post something random or you'll have an awful December
A disturbing, yet funny image of a brown primate-like creature violently straddling a large, thick-furred yeti. The creature's claws dig into the yeti's skin, drawing blood. Their faces are edited to exaggerate their expressions, and below there is a caption reading "Season's Greason's".

RARE and SPECIAL individuals, beautiful and shining.
Merely 16... of which one is to be included in the next prize set.
Sticker of a disjointed character design, featuring an upside-down face, floating parts, random objects. This character is known as "Santa", and the sticker has a pretty holographic background. 16 instances of the sticker described in the previous image, laid on top of bubble wrap.

Finally painted something new!
A painting on a triangular canvas. It depicts an angular figure made of white lines with a cube head, flat rectangle body, and roots/branches in place of limbs. The figure is located in a worn grey chamber which has an opening high on a wall, revealing a blue sky with white clouds and birds flying by. The root sprouting from where the figures left leg should be is rooted into the floor of the chamber, while a branch in place of its right arm has grown greatly, with many branching ends, one closest to the window seems to be have a couple yellow sprouts. The growth in place of the figures other limbs is small and weak-looking. The same painting as in the previous image, but it is lit up by a phone cameras flash.

They are here.

Take a look at my plentiful, shiny sons.
We will now include them with everything we ship, until we're out of 'em.

What if that happens?

We make more.

"Your life should not be a museum." "Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets."
An image of three screenshotted tweets. The original from user @hell_doe: "Thinking about the girl who bought me coffee from Texas and joked that I would have to ration it out for special occasions. My friend, I do not save my good things. Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets." User Mike Hamilton, RIV tweeted a screenshot of the original tweet to say: "being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" fundamentally altered my brain." User Oliver Darkshire quote tweeted Hamilton to say, "Ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum."

Some fresh concept art for a new character.
I'm really happy with their concept!
A pencil drawing of a character in a sketchbook, with a lot of smaller drawings, symbols and some text around it. The character appears to be a thin and lanky statue-esque entity, bearing only neckwear and a decorative loincloth. The parts of it's body appear to not be directly connected to each other, the limbs and head merely free-floating around the torso. It has a total of seven arms, three on each side and one coming out of the back, each composed of a two long and thin segments, one of which loosely resembles a trumpet, and a hand with four fingers. Each arm has two symbols on their "wrists", and seems to have an assigned "bowl" to carry, which are also adorned with a symbol. The head of the entity floats above a singular distinct neck segment, it is round and has one open eye in the middle of its face, with two closed eyes to the left and right of it. Below is a singular dot, or period, in the place of a mouth. On the sides there are horn-like cones, with charms resembling infinity symbols hanging off of them, and on the forehead there is a cross symbol. Above the head there floats a cube split into a darker bottom half, and a pale upper half which also has an eye in it, and above them both rests a halo shaped like an infinity symbol. Around the central drawing, there are simple notes pointing out symbols and details, and one explains that the entity might be left-handed. Outside of the notes, there are also smaller sketches around. One sketch points out that the entity can "snap" its fingers in two, for increased dexterity, another shows a side profile of its body, highlighting the placement of the seventh arm, while another shows it with it's symbols and bowl. A last sketch shows a size comparison between the entity and two others, showing it to be significantly larger. What remains on the page is a table of symbols assigned to seven numbers, and some text reading "I am. I was. I am to be." and "Its mouth is a.". Finally, its name is 666, or "Number".

Best birthday ever...

Had a lot of fun and got classy goodies, details on that in the alt text.

I also got well wishes from friends and family, and even a digital art piece from one!

It is a lot to be grateful for.
A monstrous sundae that could kill the average man, instead of a birthday cake. Chocolate chocolate chip, bourbon vanilla and walnut ice cream. On top of all that there were sprinkles, peanuts, M&M's, chocolate wafer tubes and pink whipped cream. This was at least one meals worth of dessert, but I conquered it. A painting by my sister, and her gift to me. It is many things, it is bad energies transformed into an act of love. It's also irrefutable proof that she is an artist, despite what she claims about herself. Most noteworthy, however, is the fact that it's her first painting in college, and on top of that her first ever non-assignment painting. It is a great privelege to receive and own, because of that. A haul of CD's, rich and rare, of high quality Japanese make, all Mini LPs. It includes a copy of Can's "Future Days" in UHQCD format, and a Disk Union-exclusive Can Fest Vol. 2 free bonus coaster. It's quite the obscure and valuable collectible, especially since I possess the coaster from Can Fest Vol. 1 as well. Behind them both lies the jewel of this haul, a Disk Union-exclusive promotional storage box for a series of four reissues of Motoi Sakuraba's progressive rock music, including one album by a band he was in during the 80s. The box itself is a free bonus that comes with the purchase of the whole series from one specific major distributor. It greatly enhances the value of the albums, while also providing an elegant and prestigious storage solution.

as an excercise, I designed 4 characters for an imaginary rpg game party.

the general story is that something across the world is stealing things from everyone, both physical and conceptual.

check the alt text for info on each fellow!
AYEXEI (or Ayelexei) The Birthday Beholder A beholder-like creature with a whole body and legs and arms with 3 fingers on each. He wears a shabby little outfit and a birthday hat. His story is that his birthday got stolen, party and all, on the very day of the event. Naturally, he ventured out to get what's his back from the... ...thing. MONTÉLIMAR The Puppet Patissier A simple pastry chef-like puppet with a curved goatee, large moustache, little puffs of hair on the sides of his head, and big eyebrows covering the eyes. Strings are attached to his head, back and arms. A talented and renowned pastry master, part of a duo with his puppetmaster, but he was seemingly stolen away from him. He joins Ayexei on his quest to reunite with him, and do his best on his own. MOE The Sentient Statue (with mind powers & wheels) A stylized moai head creature with small wheels at the bottom, two beady eyes covered by the shade of his brow. His teeth are gritted in nervousness and his lips twisted by nerves. He has not falled victim to any robbery yet, but he feels lost in his life. This comes from being moved from museum to museum repeatedly, as visitors report a mysterious disembodied voice talking to their minds when near the statue, but unfortunately no one had connected the dots and figured out that it's the statue doing the talking. He joins the party on a whim, hoping to finally belong somewhere. NO MAN The Nonexistent Nomad Not a man, but the outline of one, outlining only the absence of someone. Pure blankness, that it. Additionally, a censor bar lies over their eyes. Their entire identity was stolen.

Happy Trans Visibility Day.

It is important to not underestimate the importance of a day such as this, as important as it is to not overlook your fellow human beings, regardless of what they choose to be.

Grow, flourish, change.

I see you.
