Did a couple of pet portraits for a pal today. Kato, his big smiley guy, was a pleasure to know for all of his 14yrs.

We don’t deserve dogs, but you would never know it from all the love they give us 🖤

It’s not often that I carve out time for personal projects but this little zine has been stuck in my brain for months and months and needs to come out.

Did a little screenprinting last night for a short run of merch that will be available at a few of the Little Ghosts PopUps we’ll be at in the next 8 weeks. Gunna be a busy season!
A silkscreen full of black ink sits next to a pale pink tote. On it is printed “No Gods No Billionaires” in a prickly heavy metal font. A black denim jacket is laid out. “No Gods No Billionaires” is printed on the back in white in a jagged heavy metal font.

Cover reveal time! 👀

Check out Marc Vuletich's great cover illustration for @laurelhightower.bsky.social's THE LONG LOW WHISTLE!

THE LONG LOW WHISTLE is the seventh book in our Killer VHS Series. Let's break into a few mausoleums and explore some caves this November! What could possibly go wrong?
Cover art for the Long Low Whistle book, featuring a young woman standing at the mouth of an underground cave. The cave mouth resembles a literal mouth, with sharp teeth-like stalagmites and stalactites with a set of evil eyes above the opening. Her flashlight illuminates everything in a creepy blue tint.

Paintover
A comic with three rows of panels. The first row has three panels. The first shows a corgi sitting next to a bucket of paint. A second shows the corgi grabbing the handle of a brush in the bucket. The third panel shows him lifting the brush out of the bucket. The second row also has three panels. In the first panel, the corgi starts using the paint to paint over the gap between the first and second panels. In the second panel, the corgi dips the brush back in the bucket of paint. In the third panel, the corgi turns around and starts painting over the border between the second and third panels. Overall, it appears like the borders between all three panels are being erased, starting to merge them into a single panel. The third row one has a single wide panel. Now that all three panels have been connected, three identical corgis are existing simultaneously. They all walk off to the right, looking like they are excited about getting to hang out together.
