I love my weird goblin cheese child
Illustration of a child perking into a window or out of a well. The child had dead eyes, a wide grin and messy hair. It’s a label for Challerhocher an alpine style cheese from

Is the HVAC mascot is their lord and savior? Are they registered as a religious organization for tax purposes? I have so many questions.

This year she closed her store front. It was a big loss to the community, but she is still screen printing. I want to do what I can to keep supporting her business.

Let me tell you about my shirt printer. She ran a store front for years providing a creative space for people to come in an customized their own items. She proudly sold so many locally made artisan goods. She would constantly champion my work, and the work of so many small artists.

Sorry folks. I had to raise the price and limit shipping to the US because of how everything is too damn expensive. This will allow me to keep printing with a small women owned local print shop.

After five rounds of renaming as it did get confusing. I had to update official maps of the corporate headquarters with all previous names. No one remembered the executives fondly. More than a few were notable sex pests.

M.Riv.Art @mrivart.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I worked for a corporation that loved to rename things every few years. Basically every time some idiot executive decided to prove that they actually contribute and are worth the salary. It was expensive, and pointless. We peasants used the old names.

My co-workers have suffered my regular rant about how the fair is sleeping some of the state and county’s greatest food in favor of the shitty generic stuff. I would pay so much for a chef night out /farmer and vineyard / brewery collab event. We are home of the tater tot for heaven’s sake.

After the manual labor we will go to WINCO. They will each get 40 dollars, a list, and 20 minutes. Points are removed for breaking any of the unspoken WINCO shopping rules, missing items on the list, going over budget, and taking longer than 20 minutes.

Look if these clowns want to be governor so badly they should come over to my place. I have a list of things that need to be done. I’ll sit on the back porch with my friends getting day drunk and mocking them while they try to build a retaining wall.

Monday nights are best. Let’s all yell about land use and zoning requirements. Tell me how we should ban the government signing NDAs with tech companies and other heavy polluters. Let’s shout about moratoriums on data centers and other heavy water and energy consuming operations.

Sometimes you have one of those days when you have to question if the weed processing plant next to your workplace is having a minor industrial accent and that’s why your entire team is more forgetful, slow, giggly, and hungry.

For today, how about a cat matinee? Scardey Cat Films presents Nathan Nun's cat movie posters. If you like this work please give a follow. You can check out all my cat art in my shop at nathannunart.etsy.com Enjoy the show! And thank you, Cats of Yore.
A cat poster in the style of an old style sci-fi movie poster. Large, vacuum shaped robots come down from a red-orange sky, sucking up great plumes of dust and unfortunate cats. The cat closest to the viewer watches helplessly as the cat in front of them are sucked into the monstrous machine. At bottom, text that looked like it too is being pulled into the bot reads "Attack of the Vaccubots". At bottom in small text are various movie production credits.A cat poster in the style of a horror movie poster that is a play on "The Shining." A large tabby cat face with wild eyes is forcing itself through a smashed door. In a separate panel, from a different angle, a large clawed paw reaches through the door terrifying a smaller black and white cat on the other side. Large black text underneath reads "The Treating" and "A Stampy Catbrick Film"

This piece took over 40 hours of stitching to complete. It’s made from largely recycled textiles. Finding, cleaning, processing, and preparing each can be labor intensive.

The short story is I am tired. I now primarily work with textiles. Adding hand detail and texture that can’t be easily replicated. Each piece made will never be reproduced.
