Have you ever wanted to look like a page of OTHERSIDE? The incredible artist behind our interior illustrations, @demonography.bsky.social, has designed a t-shirt just for you! These shirts are awesome and super comfy. Available in white/black/purple! Get yours here: otherside-shop.fourthwall.com 💜
A white t-shirt held up in front of blue skies and a fence. The design, in shades of orange and purple, reads "OTHERSIDE" with little illustrated creatures crawling around; the design is then reflected underneath, the letters squiggly like a reflection in water.

it's funny
It’s funny, Connor. I used to be
demanding of our corporate
artists. Change this, do this,
don’t do that. But as soon as
“AI” came out,
I’d let any old
dogshit go to
print. It turned
out that all I
wanted the
whole time was
to be in charge.

Haven’t made linoprints for a long time and it’s fun getting back into it! Messed up some lines but I like the Brezhnev energy of this dragon turtle

Gender Census @gendercensus.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ
Promotional image. Title: Gender Census 2026. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Images: On the left, a box with a Venus/female symbol on it, patterned with tree bark. On the right, a box with a Mars/male symbol on it, patterned with grass.

Two screenshots from Deep Space Nine of Rom, the sweetest, kindest, most adorable Ferengi ever. In the top image he’s holding a device that he’s reading off of. I thought it was a PADD but it’s noticeably smaller. He’s reading “Workers of the world unite.” And in the bottom image of his face, “You have nothing to lose but your chains.”

January was a hard month but I'm still having fun doing my monthly daily little drawings and these owls were fun to do! I switched over my journal this year from an a6 hobonichi techo to a midori hibino so the squares are a little different and smaller :O
Journal calendar view with 31 days of owl illustrations in black ink, written on the left side of the two-page spread along with a list of different owls for each day of the month. Each day in the calendar is filled with a drawing of a owl or vulture.

I've been quietly doing cozy nestober prompts for this year's daily October drawings www.instagram.com/hello.nestob... The first two are "nest" and "tea" - my favourite things in the fall weather! This year i'm focused on making little scenes. #nestober2025
illustration of a small dragon in a soft nest on a tree branch, with some mushrooms growing out of the nest. The lines of the illustration are in a darker orange, and the background is a very light orange, making the illustration look monochromaticIllustration of a bird on the left and a frog on the right enjoying some green tea together, with a teapot set between them on a checkered cloth. There is a branch with leaves winding around the handle of the teapot. The illustration is in dark green, with a light green background.

Tomato Keepers 🍅 So excited to finally share my work for The Washi Station's upcoming 2026 RISO-printed calendar! I got to illustrate June with some of my favorite fauna, flora, and color palette :D [ #Art ]
Mock up of a calendar page for June 2026, as part of The Washi Station's upcoming 2026 RISO-printed calendar "FLORA & FAUNA". The top part features an illustration of a ripening tomato branch, its fruits ranging in color from green to red. Three small bunnies also hang onto the plant, seemingly checking the fruits. The bottom part shows the month name, dates, and a note section decorated with a small drawing of a chunky caterpillar sitting happily on a tomato leaf.

Today
Narrative illustration in a vertical format:
1. Illustration of a tree with a hole in its trunk. Strange sounds coming out of it - “I was walking by a tree on my way home from getting groceries and heard a loud ongoing noise from a hole in it”
2. Illustration of a tree with a hole in its trunk, strange sounds continue coming out of it and something is emerging - “as I peered in, something emerged… coming out…”
3. Illustration of a tree trunk with what looks like a birds face and beak in it, with continued strange sounds  - “I couldn’t see anything in the depths … could just hear the ongoing squeaking and keening”
4. A bird (northern flicker) flying out of the illustration of the tree trunk with the hole  - “it was a flicker. Probably has a nest in there with new hatchlings :o”
