Test print of Space Rat issue 1!
I'm actually going to bulk it out a bit with more content. I want to reward people who choose physical media by making it the best bang for buck I can

2nd colour-way of the repeat pattern I designed for horror author @carterkeane.bsky.social w/ symbols from her novella "MORSEL" (Tor Nightfire 2026) 🎨

Pulling in Ohio state flag red from the setting of the story for some grisly colour pops on this one

Swatch card of my cicada ohio themed repeat pattern for horror author Carter Keane. White rectangle swatch card with the text "Babe&Oak cicada repeat pattern for author Carter Keane" with my arch stamp at the bottom right. Inside the swatch card is part of the pattern. The swatch card sits on top of a finer scale print of the pattern as a background. The whole thing is in tan and Ohio state flag red.

Close up of my cicada ohio themed repeat pattern for horror author Carter Keane. The pattern is on a worn handmade pattern texture and is in tones of tan and Ohio state flag red. The pattern is made up of the symbols of a wolf jawbone, cicadas in different life cycles, a cross stick hanging omen, folk quilt fabric stars, greenery, fern leaves, small bones, rough crescent moons and teeth. The symbols are done in navy fine line ink work.

Favorite things of the week are all book covers from my homeschool order for the 2025-2026 school year

I'm really into warm limited palettes and semi-realistic cartoon drawings

made a cover for one of my short stories, which I'm now x posting to royal road since it seems more original works friendly than Ao3 (obviously since its a fanfic site)

Fe the Jackrabbit

She still needs an outfit and I need ideas

Juniper @adesertdryad.bsky.social · Jun 2

i dont normally buy plain superwash (inlike bylon for durability) but this colorway was so perfect for making a bendable rabbit character i couldnt resist
