I just watched "28 Days later" for the first time and as a zombie movie/series lover I gotta say I can totally see where and how they took the reference but BOY was it disappointing as a stand alone film.

Hadih! I'm Jay, and I'm an LGBTQ+ Wet'suwet'en artist who makes formline art! Here I share my artwork as well as hyperfixation ramblings and other stuff that catches my fancy! Hope you enjoy your stay!~

A print illustration with a limited green, cream, and dark blue palette. The poster is divided into six rectangular sections. The top left shows a formline design of a raven in flight. The top right shows an illustration of Hornby Island Azhdarchids. The middle left shows a cliff overlooking the ocean, with bird-like silhouettes flying above. The middle right shows a shoreline of the ocean, with bird-like tracks in the sand. The bottom left shows an illustration of a raven. The bottom right shows a formline illustration of a Hornby Island Azhdarchid in flight.

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.

A formline design of a hyena. The hyena is walking, with one back leg and one front leg raised, and it's back is arched forward, with a mane on it. It's head is tilted downward. The whole piece is coloured a near black with maroon and yellow-orange highlights, and the background is a solid bright orange.

A formline Illustration of a blue Glaucus with a circle design behind it. The design is backlit with stars and coloured in shades of dark blue to light teal.

That project that "failed"? Someone out there needed exactly that thing and found it meaningful, even if the numbers don't show it. Impact isn't always measurable in downloads or engagement. Sometimes it's just one person saying "this helped."

Screencap from reddit.

"sorry I caught you off guard with the post. In the dnd homebrew space it isn't standard practice to gen in contact with artists for incorporation their work, provided that they are adequately credited and that the homebrew work is available for free, both of which are the case here."

It's the first time in my adult life my home team has done well, that being said I haven't been posting about it cause I care more about TTRPGs so eh?

This is the move, loves.

It doesn't have to be us.
It doesn't have to be stickers.

But when you purchase Stuff from people who make Stuff, you keep art alive.

You keep agency and craftsmanship and
the human spirit alive.

You fund cat food and full cupboards instead of yachts

As a cat that makes stuff I like to get my stuff from other people that make stuff. I know it's good, I know the money goes to the makers, and everyone is better for it.

So we really don't like to build our name off of someone else's dipshittery

but five months after this post
(which was not the first SM fuckery)

almost EVERY new sticker client mentions wanting to get away from Sticker Mule

So thanks, I guess, weird Sticker Mule guy.

We quality checked THREE THOUSAND stickers by hand this morning

I've had actually conversations with every single person who has ever ordered stickers from us.

We care about the quality of clients receive, not how cheap we can make them.

But go off about your robots, Donkey Show 💀
