Edited screenshot from an episode of Star Trek DS9. Quark is standing behind his bar with a big, open mouthed smile, showing off his pointy little teeth. He's saying: "Well, hot dads are always welcomes at Quark's." The caption has been crudely edited.

Some process pics for hand dyed and block printed bandanas I did for my last market. There's a few left over, so I'll be selling those off at the next market and online when I open the shop sometime in April 🪲
photograph centering an opened clothes drying rack, filled with drying bandanas, all hand-dyed. The top and middle racks are pink and brown, and the bottom rack is yell. Photograph of a block of mounted battleship grey linoleum placed on a green lunch tray with a mechanical pencil next to it. Theres an unfinished sketch of a bunch of tulips on it, and it is positioned near a window for what I thought would be nice lighting but its kind of okay lol. Photograph of an opened sketchbook laid out over a desk and keyboard. The left page has pencil sketches of thumbnails of different tulip arrangements within a rectangular border. The right page has a list of other ideas (these will be used for block prints later). List reads: Tulips, snails, ginko, bees + flower, border pieces, other ideas for later: lavender, cicada life cycle, butterfly life cycle, caterpillars/worms, waterbear/tartigrades, ducky isopods, star beetle, moth to light. photograph of a stack of 4 linoleum blocks (not stacked neatly, with corners and edges poking out) with designs sketched out on them, laid over a blanket. Topmost visible block depicts a ginko leaf and nut beside it, the designs underneath are less visible, but some hints of a beetle leg, a snail head, the stem of a bunch of tulips, and the head of a tartigrade all peak through on the edges.

Rose, the little fae, lived his whole life in enchanted forests and secret fields. When his two unicorns took him with them to explore the world together, he had to get dressed. 💫✨⚔️

Beetles! I love the iridescence on leaf and scarab beetles, they're just so gorgeous!
digital illustration in a square format of 7 stylized beetles. Top left is a lady beetle, top right is a green iridescent leaf beetle. Middle left is another iridescent leaf beetle with the roundness of a tortoise beetle, true middle is a large rainbow scarab beetle with wings extended, middle right is a purple and green iridescent scarab beetle curled in on itself. Bottom left is a black scarab/dung beetle rolling a disco ball, and bottom right is a bright red rhinoceros beetle. Background is dark blue with a light blue hatch texture, and a bright green border with white accents. light blue @disco beetle for artist credit baked into the bottom of the image.

Destroy All Monsters (1968)
The first of two frames from Destroy All Monsters (1968). A man wearing a yellow rubber glove is holding a phone up to his ear. He is laughing while talking. There are some 1960's esque "futuristic" tech in the background. The caption reads, "I'm joking." The second of two frames from Destroy All Monsters (1968). The same as before but now the man is no longer smiling or laughing, he has a very concerned look on his face. The caption reads, "Well, half joking. We're a bit concerned."

Little Pierrot and The Jester wish you a Happy New Year!!🎆

I almost didn’t make it for the new year. This was a lot of fun to work on.
I’m excited for 2026.

I’m so thankful for 2025 but I’m looking forward to what’s to come.

Screenshot from an episode of Star Trek TNG of Captain Picard standing in the turbolift (I think) with Data. They are both looking forward as they stand shoulder to shoulder. Picard looks tired. Data's mouth is open as he speaks. Caption: "It has been quite a day."

“Oh did I see you posting A.I? Instant unfollow Are you trying to argue with me about it? Instant block” There is a small cartoon portrait of myself, a round-faced Asian guy with round glasses and short hair, saying, “I’m just not that patient.”
