I got a very cool tarot deck recently! This is the Fablemaker Animated Tarot. The illustrations/animations are really beautiful! @hitpointpress.bsky.social

I’ve printed this screen so many times I think the mesh is about to rip. I burned it in 2018 I think and I’ve gotten probably 1000 patches out of it. I’ll burn a new one when I need to, but happy with another 88 patches printed today 💪🏼 DM me if you want one! They are free if you’re in the US.

The full comic series in one post! This is a true story from when I was a bike messenger in 2010. While I’ve had many experiences of sexism/chauvinism impacting my career over the years, this one I hold a grudge for.

If you’re going to protests/events or just want a little art that shows your love for yer trans friends, you can have these!! I also have a bigger pack of FREE hi-res downloadable files on my webstore! alexmakesmonsters.com/products/fre...

My favorite linen couch pillows were starting to get threadbare after years of use, so today I took the covers apart, salvaged the zipper and as much usable fabric as I could, and remade the covers! I’m stoked my fav pillows can live on. And I’m proud of my zipper-install! #quilting #diy

Love/hate finding other folks making comics about how nasty men ruin their life

I rarely do comics but I’ve got a story to tell about sexism with weird cat-people!

Love working in corporate sustainability and having my own boss tell me things arnt worth fighting for and we should concider “softening our goals”

One of my favorite quilts I’ve made was this one. Named “Duck Parade” for obvious reasons. All the ducks are hand-dyed or painted! I loved working on this one 🦆 #quilting #quilt

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a quilt! My scrap pile was getting out of control so I put this together to use some of it up. I’ve never worked with this much color 😅 #quilting #handmade

I know for folks in LA, the devastation from the fires means there’s not much to recover. But, I put this together in case it could help even one person recover a beloved item. My mom’s house burned down in October and these are some tips the remediation and conservators gave me.

New year, new Hobonichi 💪🏼

The clawing back of my artistic identity begins

This has truly been one of the worst years I’ve ever had. I had such high hopes for myself to really dig in and find my art again but instead just got a hot plate of some of the worst tragedy and stress I can imagine. Good fucking riddance 2024.

I’ve been pouring over a lot of old DnD artwork books and just wanted to draw something fun. #DocM77 I’d always a good inspo. Also including my sketchbook pages for reference! #hermitcraft

Had my first craft fair of the year yesterday and my signage is so goooood #craftfair

My cat-car painting continues to get more complicated and great

This years holiday card is pretty great if ya ask me

If you see this, post a monster!! #TTRPG #DungeonsandDragons #DnD

I’ve been updating my shop this week ahead of craft fairs and I’m especially into these #dungeonsanddragons class stickers

Turns out my original 1950s pink bathroom is an excellent backdrop for product shots

As folks are migrating over from the bad place I hope #hermitcraft fandom is joining too!

More very good sign for upcoming craft fairs

I’m gearing up for holiday craft fairs and redoing a bunch of my displays. I’m very pleased with my new signs!

I’ve been teaching myself some UI design through a Udemy course and you better believe I’ve found a way to add cats to it
