Hello Friends! Today is my birthday. Please tell me something that made your day a little better, send me a poem, recommend a piece of excellent media, or share a science fact. I hope you’re doing great.

Lastly, I have these prints from old 1950s negatives that I printed years ago. Unlike the others, these are just these 3 & then they’re gone.

Black and white photographs printed from old 1950s negatives. Images of department store mannequins and behind the scenes photos of catalogue photo shoots.

I have some zines and postcards too! This was a split zine with @jcworsley.bsky.social. These are also free. (They are doing no good in my basement)

Photos of the Zine “All Over the Map” by Star St.Germain and John C. Worsley, with a couple postcards with other illustrations by Star below.

FREE STUFF: Found a huge box of art prints of my illustrations from back in the day in the basement. If you’re in SF and can pick up, I’d love to give you some for free. DM me or reply for more info. These are 8.5 x 11 on heavy card stock. Other freebies in the next post!

Yo this rules. I stay in Takadanobaba every time I visit Japan & the train plays the theme song on arrival. Here’s the mural at the station exit. So much nostalgia for Astro boy.

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana or Pearl Jam

The cover of That Dog’s Retreat from the Sun album. It is an image of lead singer Anna Waronker’s hazel eye in closeup.

Post one of the most haunting shots in movie history from a film made before the year 2000

A still from the opening of Peter Greenaway’s A Zed and Two Noughts. A blonde man sits in the middle of the road in the center of the shot surrounded by swan feathers. Red and white striped police tape flutters in the wind with a billboard featuring a tiger in the background. A light up sign for a Zoo displays two giant letter Os, but the Z has gone out.

Hello! I would love to help with this. I currently work in games, but I spent many years before that as a full time comics professional. LMK if you think we'd be a fit!

A few panels from Star St.Germain's piece from "HeartBreak Comics". It depicts someone passing half a 20 dollar bill to someone else. Below that are a man and a woman each holding half of a 20 dollar bill.

An illustration to promote a screening of the movie Chungking Express. A woman with dark hair lying on a bed with a small toy plane on her shoulder. The illustration is by Star St.Germain.

A comic from SFWeekly's comic issue by Ban Wachs and Star St.Germain. It is reviewing the bar Trick Dog, and riffs on the menu it had at the time depicting drinks based on the zodiac. The menu is depected as well as a crude aluminum toy from which the bar derives it's name. Bar patrons, drinks, and the bar itself are also shown.

An illustration of Autry Carey cosplaying as Tank Girl on the cover of K9 Magazine. She is standing in front of a tank and holding a pencil. The illustration is by Star St.Germain.

No homecoming would be complete without a visit to Worcester’s best fountain.

The Burnside Fountain- a fountain with a bronze statue of a boy riding a turtle.

Many candidates! Getting my body airbrushed whilst nude with Amanda Lepore? Playing a hooker in a Maroon 5 music video? Nah, the most *random* was probably eating Pinkberry with Suge Knight and Jeffree Star, circa 2007.

Oh hey it's #portfolioday, and I do UI/UX, illustration, pixel art, animation, branding, 3D & texture work. Hit me up if you need any of the things that I do for your projects!

Screenshots from the game HoloVista displayed on mockups of floating phones. The app icon of the game is floating in the upper right.

An illustration of a woman wearing striped red stockings leaning against a railing on an overpass. She wears a red skirt and carries a white tote bag with black letters on it. The illustration is by Star St.Germain.

A screenshot from the game "Provenance" by Star St.Germain. It's an animated pixel art image of clouds moving behind a large museum building. It is rendered in pastel and neon colors. There's a small figure in the foreground of a woman silhouetted in pink. There's a large purple UI element displaying the text "Sometimes I try to lose myself" at the top.

An illustration of a woman with long pink hair that's shaved on one side, wearing a pink tank top. She has a halo of hand drawn stars and arrows around her head, and she wears a septum ring. The text "love and not trouble" is handwritten on the wall to the right of her. The illustration is by Star St.Germain.

24. Nuts

It turns out I've never actually had roasted chestnuts and I had to look up what they look like. With that, we're done! Thanks for going on this holiday journey with me!
