I’ve been working on a big crow and fish focused restock for my last Holiday market this year! I’m looking forward to having some downtime from them after this. It wears me OUT. Chag Sameach to everyone lighting up tonight. Oy to The World.

A desk covered with block prints on orange and blue toned handmade paper. There’s an A frame cabin Baba Yaga, a crow with “Crow City, Troy NY”, a crow with “King of The Trash” and a red salmon breaking down a dam.

We’ve reached weird freaky little guy o’clock

A block print of a freaky flamingo with a snakey neck. It’s yelling and its tongue is sticking out. This is a test print, purple on white paper.

A final print of the freaky flamingo, bright pink ink on black cotton rag paper.

I made a video talking about our local food pantries being overwhelmed yesterday and it’s very true. My regular FP alone is doing more than 5x the amount of pick ups in a day and there’s more and more people signing up. They ran out of bread while I was on line yesterday. Give MONEY to your FP

I just finished this gorgeous custom denim and I am so happy with how it came out. I cleaned the local Joanne’s out of their fringe and trim last week, and printed the patches on vintage color shifting silk. It’s brilliant and I wish it fit me! Find it tomorrow at @abiggaymarket.bsky.social
