Apologies to my lactose intolerant & vegan peeps, but get ready for some cheese. 🧀 Many, many years ago, on my 18th birthday (lol), my bff of almost 10 years @vanhoghh gifted me a portrait of myself. Flash forward to this past winter, and I decided to do the same for her in my own style as a (very) belated grad/birthday present. 💗 This was my first time incorporating felt into an embroidery, and I couldn’t think of a better way than to try and capture how pretty Nicole is. I’m not gonna lie, shipping this was so hard (it hung on my wall for a bit), but living 900+ miles away from her is even harder. ☹️

QOTD: have you read a @chuckpalahniuk book yet?? Most of the time when I talk about this amazing author, I get surprised responses to the fact that he’s responsible for *shhh* Fight Club. 🤫 They usually say something along the lines of, “I didn’t know that was a book!” and then end up either loving it or hating it. The book itself comes with nasty descriptions, but then again, ALL of Chuck’s books do. He’s purposefully nasty & has a way about his writing that is just... well, *chef’s kiss* (see: Guts). So much so that I dedicated an entire blog site to him, MET him and couldn’t speak a word, and I own almost every single book of his (there’s around 30). Plus, whenever I’m talking to my bff @thecosmickoala, she knows “Chuck,” means Palahniuk. 😂💗 In other words, he’s amazing, and y’all should go pick up a Palahniuk book today! I’d recommend starting with Invisible Monsters Remix, Fight Club, or his modern day ‘1984’ called ‘Adjustment Day’ first. Then you’ll also be able to get a gist of what exactly transgressive fiction is, since he’s only one of seven authors in the genre. 😏

I just wanted to come on here to say THANK YOU to everyone who purchased/shared/liked my launch yesterday! I wouldn’t be here without y’all and I still can’t believe I have a degree that’s writing-based, yet I’m here making art for you lovely beings! Of the 4 cards there’s ONLY mini Basketball Mike left (swipe), so be sure to snag him while you can. As I mentioned in my card post, this was my first time selling originals, and the fact that 3/4 of them sold last night is just amazing!! 🥲

THE COLLECTION IS HERE!! & Patrick can barely contain his excitement! May the fourth be with y’all on this launch day, and make sure to go tell my sister @ sabrina_skillings happy birthday!!! 🥳👏🏻

THEYRE HERE!! With the initial launch post I mentioned something about limited edition cards... and here we are! I’ve been working on these for the past few days now and I really hope y’all dig them. This also happens to be my first time ever selling originals of something too! These cards are your standard 2.5x3.5” playing cards that I got custom made to include my logo and what you see is what you get! (In other words there’s only ONE of each!) The goal is to sell an entire deck of limited edition miniature paintings over the course of my launches, so I’m stoked to see where else these take me! Painting playing cards is also what pushed me into painting/drawing portraits of people, and working on such a small scale is so fun, so even if I don’t put them on my store I’m still gonna paint them til I fill my card collecting album. 👏🏻😈

With the collection dropping on Tuesday, I thought I’d share with you all the Superfan Collection! This is the BIGGEST collection on my shop thus far, and it comes with every print on this wall with the option to customize your “Save Bandits” and what finish you’d like your stickers. Overall there are 5 glossy posters, 11 matte prints, and 9 stickers (including sheets). With the stickers, you ALSO have the option to pick from scrapbooking (paperfeel), vinyl (water resistant), and laminated (waterproof)! With this show being as big as it is, I really wanted to go all out, and here we are months later! Three sticker types, several test prints, and a lot of time glued to various screens later and here we are. Stay tuned for another announcement soon too because I STILL have more things in the works (if you’ve been watching my story on @stretchears.notvaginas you already know). 😏💗
