Would anyone like to buy one of my creatures over at my Big Cartel shop?

Hi Bluesky! I just launched my Big Cartel fabric art shop, and I was wondering if you could help spread the word?

All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Any sales are colossally appreciated.

jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, a strawberry ghost bag, and a black creature with sharp teeth. There's a white egg with yellow embroidered flowers and purple eyeshadow and purple lips. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background. The watermelon creature and the watermelon ghost are sitting on metal doll chairs.

Here's a lovely photo of the cosmic ghost bag. She's a black ghost with various stars and planets embroidered on her body. There are little white stars, larger white stars, yellow stars, purple stars, a dark purple planet, a light purple planet, a red planet with a yellow ring. She has a gray moon-like face with large sparkly black eyes and a little frown. She's wearing a black fabric witch hat. She's resting on my palm and there's green fur in the background of the pic.

Here's a lovely photo of three fabric art eggs watching the tiny witch homunculus balancing on one foot on a small broom. The eggs are purple, pink and white, and they're covered with embroidered flowers. The eggs have mouths with lip colors that match their flowers. They have two flat teeth poking out of their mouths. The pink egg is wearing a small sun hat. The tiny witch homunculus is green with large sparkly red eyes and a little frown. There's green fur in the background of the photo.

Here's a photo of fabric art creatures with a white fabric background. There's a cute and creepy mothman with a black body and a gray face with twinkly red eyes and sharp teeth. There's a green Kentucky goblin with a lighter green face and large pointy ears. He has twinkly yellow eyes and he's wearing a black party hat covered with red googly eyes and a big red poof at the top. There's also a red death worm with nine cream-colored eyes and sharp teeth. The tiny homunculus witch is sitting on the worm's head. She's very small, with large twinkly red eyes and a green body. She's wearing a small version of the party hat the goblin's wearing.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I love the paper packs!! They’re all great

Betty Rocksteady @bettyrocksteady.bsky.social · 4d

A few of the sets I’ve picked up have color palettes included but that’s not something I personally delved into much! Mostly just liners and coloring brushes, halftones and distressing effects that I’ve made use of

Betty Rocksteady @bettyrocksteady.bsky.social · 4d

Most of the brushes I use come from retro supply or true grit! I love everything I’ve purchased

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.
