Enjoying haunted steakhouse night with my husbeast! Story here: sdghosts.com/the-haunted-...

Honestly it’s just a good 70s era steakhouse that is not super pricey, the ghosts are a bonus.

Recently someone asked me if I’m from Canada because of my accent which surprised me because I’m born and raised in San Diego, but apparently this is a thing! It’s called the Low-Back-Merger Shift and it’s something you encounter in most of Canada and Western US, and parts of PA and OH

A graphic that says "Mystery Sticker 4-Pack" showing a pile of misc. stickers in the background including a wolf face, a ruddy duck, a bighorn sheep, a seagull, a coyote, a snow leopard, but this isn't the only designs you can expect. It's a mystery, and I have TONS of sticker designs you can potentially get!

Doing some research for a client's logo project and the prevalence of AI slop in search results is reaching critical mass...I mean just look at this hot garbage.

Finished our annual play through of Night in the Woods. Here's a throwback to when I drew fan art of mine and @drskorzy.bsky.social 's characters in the style (best I could anyway). #NITW #FanArt #WeirdAutumn

If you like my "Designated Driver" painting of a raccoon on a penny farthing that I did for Thorn Brewing Co, you can now get it as stickers! Add a little whimsy to your life, you deserve it. #BSNM #raccoon #trashpanda

One of my first "funny" stickers I designed, here's a Halloween hermit crab! IYKYK lol!
Sadly this little dude is out of print for now, but perhaps one day he might reappear. If you have this guy stuck anywhere on your stuff, show me! I'll repost. #SciArt #Funny #SpiritHalloween #Crab
A sticker design of a hermit crab in candy corn colors with a white shell that says SEARS but over it is a Spirit Halloween banner implying that the Halloween hermit crab moved in to the empty shell of a defunct department store, much like a Spirit Halloween does to storefronts. Ah, nature.

I admittedly have never seen it (gotta change that) HOWEVER I just rewatched Ed Wood and there's a scene where he's dressed just like this complaining about the contacts hurting him and then I googled Tor Johnson Plan 9 from Outer Space and it's this image.

Just watched an old Halloween cartoon I’ve never seen nor heard of before, Witch’s Night Out starring Gilda Radner and Catherine O’Hara. Despite its simplistic art style it is super adorable and rewatchable 🥹
