Dead tired? Us too. Unloose your sardonic side with this 4" x 4.5" glossy vinyl sticker sheet featuring 4 darkly funny candy-colored tombstones and 1 extremely earnest little ghost.
We love them on journals, planners, laptops and water bottles. Find them here: bigchallenges.shop

Pro tip from Kate: Sitting in the waiting room is much more pleasant when you're drawing weird little guys. (Please excuse the foul-mouthed clover. Kids say the darnedest things.)
Sketchbook page separated into colored boxes. Each box is filled with a weird little marker sketch of an object or creature. Journal page filled with cartoony purple marker sketches of different kinds of dogs.

From the archives: this hand-drawn shitpost was one of Kate's first digital works when she returned to making art in 2022. For more of Kate's art check out bigchallenges.shop
Hand-drawn meme of a very round lavender rabbit against a background of chaotic dots. Mangled hot-pink text below the rabbit reads "i am at my limit."

Which mossy log bug (or hyped-up mushroom) are you? #queerowned #invertebrates #WormWednesday
"Tag yourself" graphic featuring 5 cute bugs and one exhilarated mushroom. Each bug has a name and attributes: Claude is genderfluid and in charge of glitter; Leaf is nonbinary and loves a rainy day; Tina is a chaotic bisexual and snacks are life; Zelda is a perpetually pining sapphic; Merlin (the mushroom) is asexual and naturally caffeinated; and Ricky is an ally and a good driver. Graphic of three sweet ants having a sleepover under a cracker blanket. One of the ants is too excited to sleep. Text says "tag yourself (bonus round): boygenius / package deal / it feels good to be known so well" A colorful sticker sheet of many different bugs doing fun activities like skateboarding and eating chips. Included in this version is a coloring page of a log
