Do not interact with this trolling dingus. And block for good measure.
‪a screen shot of a Bluesky conversation between me and user “5000words” ‪ You make physical resin statues, how were they stealing your work to resell it? Did they break into your home and take it? Hundreds of people? They took my design, resculpted it, cast it and sold it. Also, it is very easy for someone to buy a sculpture and make their own duplicates to sell. So you are suing anyone who makes anything that looks remotely like the things you make? I bet you make more money settling out of court with struggling independent artists who can't afford a protracted legal battle than you make actually selling your art.

Just how small are my micro bonsais? Check out this little demonstration! This is the smallest item I have sculpted in a good long while and about as small as I can go while still retaining a good level of detail. These drop today at 1PM MST. Preview listing is up now!

I didn’t see the aurora, but I did see a red fox bound by my studio windows this afternoon. What a treat 🦊

I need you to realize NOW that the police (yes, ALL police) are fascist. This post from the NYPD is theatre. Cops do this whenever there is a large mainstream event. They want you to think you are protesting the “right” way so that you stay within the confines of their control. Don’t fall for it.
A post from cjsprigman.bsky.social that reads “I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke”. Below is a post from @nypdnews on Twitter that reads “The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted we had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests”.

Bleh. From my open enrollment reminder. I am glad Colorado is offering assistance but concerned it still won’t be enough for me. I guess I will find out in a few weeks. This sucks, ya’ll.
Financial help is changing. Federal enhanced Premium Tax Credits (ePTCs) are scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, 2025, unless Congress acts to extend them. Advanced Premium Tax Credits (APTCs) and Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSRs) remain available but are returning to pre-pandemic levels. This means many customers will receive less financial help next year. Premiums are expected to rise. Insurance companies have indicated there will be rate increases for plan year 2026. Final rates will be published soon. State help is available. Colorado is introducing Colorado Premium Assistance (CPA) to help reduce monthly costs for households between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level. While CPA may not replace the reduced federal support of ePTCs, it will still provide meaningful savings for many families.

Painting this batch of Hot Dog Dragons is one of the tasks I accomplished this week. I am trying not to think about how much I have left to do and just concentrate on the task at hand. I want to say that once I get caught up I will “never let this happen again” but I have had no control over this.

These are my new paw pendants that I debuted at DenFur. They are really fun and quick to make. They are $25 and come strung on a black hemp cord with an adjustable knot. About half of these are sold but I will put the remaining ones in the shop sometime this week.
