My shop is on sale now, just in time for holiday gifting!

Two ducklings are opening a red gift box. Both birds have flushed cheeks and are looking very expectant. Beside the title ribbon, there is a rubber ducky isopod and a blue snake.
The atmosphere reflects the artist's excitement and anticipation as the important sales season approaches.

Promotional image with discount date information.
Cherry shrimp and shy shrimp are placed on the artist's head and arms.

It's almost the weekend! 🥳

If you're looking for something for you and/or your kids to do, I've recently re-uploaded my arthropod coloring guide 🎨

Please feel free to share, print, and [definitely] have fun with it!!!

A few panels from the coloring guide: a scorpion, an isopod, and a tachinid fly (along with their info).

I decided not to put this sticker on Roger's house because I like how natural it looks, but I definitely put it on the isopod bin and if it ever lines up for a good photo op, it's going to be an amazing day

A photo of one of the corners on the dry side of an isopod bin that has a small speech bubble sticker from a sheet of Andrew WK stickers from more than a decade ago that just says PARTY HARD!

Ahhhhh cute bugge dice!!! There’s an isopod on one face!

indoor product photography is DUMB everyone knows the only way to get a good photo of your wares is to go outside and THROW them in the DIRT

anyway, whoever gets the dice with grass stains on them, you’re welcome for the extra authenticity 😂

a plethora of wood dice in sizes ranging from tiny 14mm to standard 16mm to hefty 20mm to chonky 25mm. they are laser engraved with so many cute illustrations, all my own original drawings, of bugs, animals, mushrooms, flowers, tabletop gaming items, scrabble tiles, cookies, and environments. there are like forty of them anf they’re just strewn in a sunny patch of dirt, dead leaves, and bright green clover, with a single dandelion in the center. eagle-eyed viewers may observe a die right next to the dandelion featuring a side engraved with that same flower.

Text that says “isopods ( pillbugs, rolly pollys ) shed half their body by top/bottom so sometimes they’re wearing pants”

two stickers with a white border, one is of a mosquito in a labcoat with pipettes, the other is a diplodocud in yellow and orange painting over an ai sign with the test no genAI images, all human made!

super silly doodle of a velvet worm sitting on Cthulhu's lap, holding a lolly and wearing a hat, while Cthulhu is a grampa with glasses and grey tentacle beard, behind is a sign saying live laugh lovecraft and a halucigenia drawing with the text saying heart grandma

a very pissed looking cassowari bird sitting on their butt, big leggies stretched at the front, on a grey background.
