btw I also got some prints of the original star stag and some other digital work made up! It's been a bit hectic lately with an exhibition deadline and whipping up ceramic work for market prep so I've been slowly chipping away at documenting and uploading stuff to the online store.
A work in progress featuring a black clay ceramic creature with a long tail and single white horn. White underglaze brushed over it is being carved away to shape its eyes, stripes, and other markings. It rests on foot on top of a log.

The past week has been busy with some deadlines but finally got around to taking some photos of these star stag tote bags locally printed by the fantastic Resonance Printing! These are available via my online store ( miholics-shop.ca / link in bio )
An off white tote back featuring a black ink illustration featuring a bounding stag, the ends of its antlers taking on the shape of stars. Another star sits above its head, more stars surrounding the deer. Many simple little drawings in a rock art style with more star horned stags are by the upper left and bottom right of the animal. Floral motifs with the flowers taking on a heart shape surround them and the illustration is framed by simple patterned borders. Wild grape leaves frame the bag.A close up of the bounding stag's head.A close up of the rock art style star stags.

I've been feeling so tired and disappointed with my work and frustrated with how long it takes to create it. I feel like I'm not on par with others and I possibly won't be able to make art as a living with how bad things are getting economically as well.

finally finished!! #ceramics #werewolves (sold)!
 A ceramic wall tile with a yellow background and raw, brown clay borders. A werewolf is curled in on itself and has long hair falling over its body. It has a massive head weighed down by gravity, large teeth visible in a snarl. It tries to covers its face with its hands, fingers spread to reveal an eye staring at the viewer. Its body is naked, scarred and hairy, and still very human; an unchanged ear with a little earring present, and its digits end in blunt human nails. It is framed on all sides with a floral border.

i forgot I've drawn spinosaurus mirabilis back in july, this now belongs to a lucky customer who placed an order to my store ^^
A pen and paper drawing of a spinosaurus mirabilis bust; a theropod with a long snout, pronounced head crest, and a speculative dewlap. It has a toothy grin, sparse body hairs, and whiskers at the base of its face. Plants frame it and stars sit about its head. Text reads "Thank you! -Jules"

some work wips from today! A dish set, some critters, and two ceramic wall mount tiles! the last sketch will be transferred to a tile in a hot moment ^^
A work in progress of three rectangular ceramic dishes with vivid colours featuring two red dragons facing each other in a heraldic pose and surrounded by berries Three unfired ceramic creatures that are akin to a mix of a giraffe and horse. A pattern layout is delicately sketched on them in pencil. A small, circular ceramic wall tile work in progress. It shows a pencil sketch of four fuzzy and cute bipedal creatures holding hands that twirl / dance in a circle. They wear flowers as hats and have more flora surrounding them.A rough sketchbook page showing a werewolf curled in on itself and holding its long hair out of its face. It has a massive head weighed down by gravity, large teeth visible. It is naked and top surgery scars are visible.

indigo rose cherry tomatoes are so visually fun to look at, the sun causes them to tan to that deep, dark purple (also those silly little tan lines), very tasty too
dark purple, nearly black tomatoes on the vine. my hand holds two ripe ones; the flesh has taken on a red-ish hue, and where the leaves covered the fruit at the base of the stem are red tan lines.A tomato cut in half showing the red interior contrasting the deep purple skin.

A guildie left a silicone trilobite press mould (top side only) on the communal shelf! Needless to say I did a pressing and should do more, first photo is sides trimmed only, other two are some details added, this is all still a wip! I've made trilobites before and this certainly speeds things up
Clay pressing of the upper fossilized exoskeleton of a trilobite The same trilobite now with spines on the base of the exoskeleton, details carved out more, and wire antennae along with wire tail filaments A below view of the trilobite with its wire antennas sticking out and little wire legs in the air

US shipping on pause due to new tariffs 🫩🤧
US shipping on pause due to the 50% tariff on Canadian goods going into effect on the 19th - this will stack onto the current two tariffs which already add a  5-25%  duty rate. 

For example my $40cad T-shirt will have $30.60cad worth of tariffs ($29usd and $22.02usd respectively that the customer would have to pay for on top of shipping)

I do have lettermail shipping for mini prints and stickers open however until the 18th, after that I will only be able to take lettermail orders through email as lettermail is considered duty free but Shopify doesn't have the systems to implement it.

I doubt this will last long given how terrible of an idea this is and implode within a couple of months so fingers crossed 🤞

Broke in my new tablet with some Cetitan and Cetoddle - I love a good critter that gives me early whale vibes (also their shiny versions so had to include that) #pokemon
An illustration of cetitan, a bipedal whale like pokemon. I depict it with paw pads and claws on its front arms / flippers and feet. It has a whiskery snout, five large horns on its head / jaws, and long teeth with blunted ends.
It watches over three cetoddle younglings (only with a single horn and a few teeth), the left one bowing down on all fours to playfully try and wake the peacefully napping one in the middle and exposing its white belly to the viewer. Further back to the right of them is another cetoddle, mouth open in an excited call before it will go on to hurriedly toddle over. 
They are illustrated in a full array of bright colours with contrasting dark linework and set against a simple off white background.

Yet another update regarding international shipping 😮‍💨
The good news:
After reading around and talking to people and post office friends I'm feeling very confident that I won't be impacted and I will reopen certain EU nation shipping regarding the new PPWR and EPR legislature.

The bad news and why I can only open shipping to certain EU nations:
There's new EU customs requirements for low value shipments to try and tackle under-valuing and a €3 duty now applies. Canada Post has to figure out a way to provide the infrastructure for this so services are temporarily cancelled for the following countries;
Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Portugal.
This went into effect July 1st which is wild considering none of my shipping services sent out a newsletter or the likes, I'm sorry if anyone was trying to buy something and were denied automatically!
There's no estimated timeline for reopening shipping so fingers crossed it's much sooner than later.

As for US shipping, no updates, I'm still bracing for the possibility of the 50% Canadian goods tariff to stack on the other two the states has on us :')

I just had to (hopefully temporarily) close down EU shipping due to the new PPWR legislature. Just found out Trump is rolling out section 338 - 50% duties on goods come Aug 19th. The IEEPA tariffs that were struck down by the Supreme Court were only recently replaced by MFN and Section 301 tariffs-

Little rhino beetle from last month (sold)! 🍊 #ceramics
Multiple photos of a small, ceramic, orange and black rhino beetle. Black dots are scattered across its carapace, and it has giant, staring, cute eyes. In the first photo it can be seen sitting on the edge of my index finger. The second photo is an angle from behind it. The third photo is an angle of it from below, featuring its smile. Finally, the fourth photo shows it nestled in-between my closed hand.

🌄 Star Stags 🌌 I was very inspired by the Tuva Republic petroglyphs, two of the little stag depictions are copies (first two, top left) while the rest are my own drawings. I'm very keen on getting this design printed on tote bags if there was interest! :)
A black and white illustration featuring a bounding stag, the ends of its antlers taking on the shape of stars. Another star sits above its head, more stars surrounding the deer. Many simple little drawings in a rock art style with more star horned stags are by the upper left and bottom right of the animal. Floral motifs with the flowers taking on a heart shape surround them and the illustration is framed by simple patterned borders.

i drew my sona / werewolf-y guy again teehee
A nude waist up illustration of an anthropomorphic canine. His long snout is stuck up with a scowl while making stern eye contact with the viewer. Prominent tattoos across his form depict flowers, and  two werewolf monks eating a lamb, the text above reading "heaven".
To the right is a full-body shot from behind with him casually standing, again showcasing his long snout and ears.
Text through out reads: Jules' sona - coydog. Mild front tooth gap. Septum ring and tattoos not necessary (I have too many). Can also have glasses, always large, rounded lenses. Mullet / mane blends into surrounding fur. Keyhole top surgery scars. Dorsal stripe from crown to tail. Off-white fur.

the old tariffs i've dealt with being replaced by "forced labour tariffs" as an excuse to push through trump's latest threats is so ridiculous, like ah yes the nation famously know to utilize modern slavery with incarcerated people and treating migrant workers like trash sure is teaching me a lesson
The USTR has finalized the Section 301 forced labor tariffs, which apply to goods entered into the U.S. on or after July 24, 2026. These are the replacement tariffs we described in our previous email, effectively replacing the expiring 10% Section 122 surcharge with rates of 10% or 12.5%, depending on country of origin.


What this means for your billing: No action is needed. Because Zonos bills you for duties based on when your shipments arrive in the U.S., the finalized Section 301 rates apply precisely to shipments arriving July 24 or later, and shipments arriving before July 24 are billed under the Section 122 rate.


What this means in your quotes: These tariffs have appeared in your Item Quoter calculations labeled as "Section 301 Forced Labor Tariff (this is a proposed tariff, subject to USTR's final action, and may change)." Now that USTR has taken final action, that label will simply read "Section 301 Forced Labor Mitigation Tariff."

Tried out some slip inlays for fun, definitely learned it's best to do it at a larger scale since it's hard to get the proper carving depth on tiny details without overdoing the line thickness - touchups had to be made after carving off the slip but I'm very interested in pursuing inlays further 👀
