treasure hunting at the local joann fabrics as they are doing the liquidation thing, and found this... thing. just... it is magnificent in its horribleness, an abomination beyond abominations. Also no, i did not buy the horrible skeleton sewing machine decoration, cat food and tp first, then toys.

I have suddenly been reminded that somewhere in the box of 90s clothes i promised people i'd never wear again is a purple faux snakeskin jacket and matching pants. i kinda wish i could still fit them now. god i miss being able to dress like i had more confidence than i actually did.

so, the little hand gesture people are doing now and calling the "korean heart"... its the exact same hand sign we used to get sent to the principal's office for 30 years ago. The hand to the elbow was another, and then the various forms of thumbing your nose especially the waggling fingers one...

These #Pittsburgh sunrises lately...my goodness. They just don't stop. This morning's was even better than yesterday's, with the sky on FIRE just before the sun came up. The West End Bridge was the perfect place to capture it from as well.

feels weird i made this thing around 20 years ago now, back in 2006 when i was writing a FF7-DMC crossover fanfic right after college. all the stuff for the new DMC series got me poking through some old stuff and I remembered it existed. Wonder if i still have the Jenova Hellspawn art anywhere...

Graphic design brain and nerd brain makes happy noises together... its pretty, DMC, AND it has limp bizkit, and you just can't shove like twelve of my favorite things into a single video guys, it does things to a person. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtpI...

final work on em has been delayed a bit due to recent medical shenanigans, but got a couple new prototype scarf ideas in the works.

home from the hospital AGAIN, when the ct person looks at ya funny because she recognizes you from the last two times this month and your bruises have bruises, maybe its time to start lying and saying you're secretly a superhero instead of admitting your organs are trying to kill you. stupid kidney

www.etsy.com/listing/1840... I might have got carried away with an idea and made a #gambit themed scarf because reasons.

ehehe, last of the holiday orders is shipped, placed an order for a whole BOX of Suncups for myself because reasons, and now i'm free, wheee. Time to finally get started on the new pattern designs and best of all, back to sculpting because NEW SCULPEY FOR ME yay!

Chocobo scarf finally updated on etsy since I've been redoing some of the older final fantasy related patterns i made. It may not get you across the world map any faster but it'll keep ya plenty warm in winter!

He's watching a video of someone making a junimo plushie with me, like actually paying attention watching the screen watching. I think I just found out what he wants for Christmas

Trust the Fungus

Plugging the shop for reasons. Look, I make things! One of my favorite things is the gigantic 14ft long dr who scarves. www.etsy.com/listing/1707...

longcoat post is too long, behold screenshot about cosplay nostalgia, my mom's love of the Highlander franchise, a bit about my teen years not entirely accidentally spent dressed as Gambit, and the shared love of an old long coat and how expressing fandom has changed over the years.

Every time i hear the sound like someone pulling velcro apart in the bathroom, I know its him at it again, climbing the shower curtain and hanging off it like spidercat for no reason other than he thinks its fun. -_-

i've resigned myself to never getting any of the newer xmen figures, they're not only too expensive nowadays regularly but the scalpers get to them all and they go out of stock before we geeky peasants even have a chance and get resold higher. i'm just gonna get some sculpey and build my own. -_-

Finally found some stuff I haven't seen for around a decade+ and was afraid was lost while moving. Used to have a massive collection of figures all over my monitor top, only thing that can fit on top monitors they make now is dust. For the curious, yes i still have gambit's staff and han's blaster.

ye olde octomerman. i did an entire series of better drawings of him and his friends couple years ago, might have to upload some of the ones that never made it online someday.

More old stuff brought over to post, the model of Destiny Island from Kingdom Hearts I built several years ago. Its very hard to see but the cave with the door is there too inside the hill, the passage behind the waterfall leads to it just like in game. Made of Sculpey and painted with acrylics.

Tidying up the workroom and couldn't find the Kitto, finally looked up and he was camped out on top the shelves above the sewing machines behind the giant M. Also yes, I own a giant M rescued from a local store's sign as they were updating their signage because why not.

Posting a few things from other places slowly. This was part of a thing I did manually resizing one of my favorite comic coverarts of Gambit into poster-size for my wall, then redrew and painted onto a shirt for wearing to the local comicon. (May Larroca forgive me my sins against his lovely art.)

Slow migration of things and the finding of friends and persons from other website has begun, yay -__- I am the tired in retired, but might get around to posting art things again someday.
