I make art for the weird and wild, and small batch upcycled clothing.
I believe a better world is still possible, I mourn for my lost comrades.

I’ve been working on a big crow and fish focused restock for my last Holiday market this year! I’m looking forward to having some downtime from them after this. It wears me OUT.
