me working in my corporate Big Data job
A meme with the caption "coworker asked how I was doing today, yet another third party trying to harvest my data" placed above an image of a disgruntled gray domestic cat photographed very close to its nose for a slight fisheye effect.

They are becoming real.....
The real-live version of the 8 badge ribbon mockups from the quoted post. From top to bottom: 1. "Do not ask me about my credit card bill" text next to an illustrated bear character holding an empty wallet. 2. "This man ate my son" text being inhaled by Kirby. 3. A riff on the candle budget tweet by Dril where the expensive line item is "Artist Alley: $3,600". 4. "acen" text in the style of the brat album art. 5. "I've been here the whole time" text stylized like the Game Changer show set. 6. "This is not real" text and and arrow pointing to the Bean statue with a cross-out symbol over it. 7. The Grant Gustin grave meme. Obe the tombstone is the JoAnn Fabrics logo and over Grant's face is the Michael's logo. 8. An iconic Chicago area billboard for a hair restoration company, Brian Urlacher with the text "Welcome to O'Hair Hairport".

starry paintbrush themed hoodie & paws i've thrown together this year :3
A human arm photographed outstretched in a grassy lawn. The arm is covered by a blue hoodie sleeve with yellow star decals, and the hand is wearing a four-toed blue furry costume paw with matching yellow star decals. The hoodie & furry paw from the previous image laid on a flat surface.

Upgrading my soup kitchen faerie cosplay for Acen this year by salvaging 2 cheapo bald-lookin' wigs off amazon into a singular fluffy beast (the fluff comes entirely from all the detangling making it frizzy LOL). Shoutout to the bandana permanently sewn in place to disguise the really bad hairline.
A long reddish brown straight-haired wig on a wig head. The wefts are parted horizontally along the middle to reveal the mesh layer underneath. The final result of hand-sewing 2 of the wigs together, showing more volume from the additional wefts added to the wig base. The final wig, styled and worn, shown in a mirror selfie.

Designed a Neopets-themed photocard holder for a local Chicago neo group I'm in, and they just arrived!!! 🥳💛
A neopets themed acrylic keychain that holds one photo about the size of a standard trading card. The art on the keychain is themed off of a retro neopets website layout and includes a vintage Windows 95-style popular that says "Your Neopets Are Dying!"

Craft of the day: fuzzy hamster stickers (that were shockingly much more complex to make than they appear)
6 small, approximately one-and-a-half inch round stickers of hamsters on a soft flocked material. 2 are cream colored and 4 are gray. One sticker in the middle is misshapen due to a process error.

my stockpile of handmade neopets stickers grows‼
A star-shaped kiss cut sticker sheet featuring a starry-painted Shoyru and Draik from Neopets. The Shoyru sticker is slightly peeled off the backing paper for a 3D effect. The sticker sheet is leaning against a stack of similar sheets, propping it slightly off the surface below. The art from the sticker sheet in the previous image, with a Starry Shoyru neopet and Starry Draik neopet floating through a spacey background, surrounded by stars and Novas.

I am back on my bullshit (designing badge ribbons to make for #acen)
A set of 4 digital designs for convention badge ribbons, in a 2 by 4 grid. From the top, left to right, two per row: 1. "I've been here the whole time" in the style of the game changers set. 2. "Welcome to O'Hair Hairport", a billboard for hair restoration seen outside O'Hare airport. 3. "This man ate my son" with an illustration of an inhaling Kirby against a night sky background. 4. "This is not real" pointing to a picture of The Bean. 5. The Grant Gustin grave meme. The grave has Jo-Ann Fabrics' logo. Grant's face is covered by the Michael's logo. 6. "acen" in the style of the brat album cover. 7. A reference to the dril candle tweet, replacing the expensive candle line with "Artist's Alley" expenses. 8. A cartoon bear holding open an empty wallet with a moth escaping, titled "Please do not ask me about my credit card bill".

A display finished piece at a paint-your-own pottery shop, showing a painted & glazed plate displayed on top of a shelf. The plate is painted with a green among us crewmate, with a speech bubble saying "sus." A small label on the bottom edge of the plate reads "not for sale" in all caps.
