This dork just tried to bring a frozen pile of dog poop into the house - like he had just come home from the damn store.

Found these little guys at #goodwill - plenty creepy before but I took it a step further & painted their eyes black. Now, I have my own black eyed children to greet people. Kinda feel bad for the mail carrier - I actually like her. #thriftshopping #creepy #blackeyedchildren #probablyhaunted

Been sitting on some exciting (I’m grossly excited, so it’s ok if you aren’t) news. Been waiting for a gig that requires me to watch one of my favorite shows for research-I’ve landed (thanks to an amazing friend) a job writing the flavor text for the Wednesday (the Netflix show 😱) trading cards!

They told her the spider-armed woman who dragged her father into the earth wasn't real. They told her it was her child mind trying to cope with a terrible tragedy. 20 years later, she returns home to a truth darker than she could have ever imagined. #booksky #horror www.amazon.com/Ungodly-Duol...

A graphic featuring the cover of The Ungodly Duology at its center, depicting a grim faced, shotgun weilding woman in front of a.mass of eyes and mouths.

Pretty excited to be tabling at shows again this year. A new spooky collection coming out next month and a spooky comic later this year, I’m hoping for a decent experience. *Note: these are for me as a creator. I’ll be working other shows with CSA as Art Coordinator. Don’t worry, I can multitask 🥸

A week in Orlando for Megacon. I’m exhausted. I’m sore. I somehow didn’t take a single photo with my phone all week. I did go to our superbowl party. Mainly because I still had work 😕 I ate food. Had a few beers. And I got to shoot aliens. Here’s proof courtesy of Brett Bean Gonna take a nap now.

Kristina Orlea @kristinaorlea.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Getting ready for Megacon but it’s really difficult to leave all of the cuteness that Hastor brings 🖤 Oh, & btw, packing is stupid. Corrupt “Musk”-eteers how about instead of breaking our SS systems you focus your energy on making a cost effective shrink ray that allows me to really travel light.

Went to NOLA for the first time. Ate some delicious food, hung out with awesome people, visited a voodoo/antique shop (brought home some new friends 😈), ate beignets and got to see some of Bourbon Street. I’m hoping that I get to go again when it’s warmer.

We need to start giving the phrase “It took me awhile but I did it” space in our lives. Achieving goals doesn’t have to happen overnight. It’s ok if it takes a hot minute. I mean, if a deranged felon can take 8 years to desecrate democracy then I can try at least try this level of Candy Crush again
