Hi #portfolioday!

I'm Ellis, a printmaker and illustrator (mostly linocut and risograph) based in the Midwest! I'm interested in cryptids, medieval art, flora and fauna, and weird little guys in general. Hoping to work on some more posters, illustrations, and print commissions this year!
A linoleum cut print of various medieval weapons in black ink on green marbled paper. A risograph print of a sketchy, black and white winter forest with a red ghostly rabbit weaving through it. A risograph print for Boneshaker Books Independent Bookstore Day 2024 event. It depicts the green Boneshaker storefront on a fluorescent orange background. On the side of the print are insets depictings books, vines, a skull, and a tuxedo cat. A linoleum cut print in green ink on tea-stained linen. It depicts a cat face with spiral eyes surrounded by and growing into foliage, mushrooms, and branches, which form antlers on the cat's head.

you can be the most reasonable, intelligent, measured person on the planet and 3 minutes of a migraine will have you looking longingly at a drill and considering whether trepanning was honestly that bad of an idea

Boosting this virtual training opportunity tomorrow (Wednesday!)

Register in advance for this webinar:
zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Twin Cities ICE Watch / Migra Watch - Wednesday, Dec 3, 2025 at 6pm CT The Twin Cities is currently under federal occupation. Join States at the Core and Protect RP to learn important lessons from direct experiences on the ground in the neighborhoods in Chicago that most stood up to an even more intense Federal invasion from "Operation Midway Blitz" This training will share important skills for documenting ICE activity and supporting neighbors in your community. ICE Watch is a key strategy being used by groups across the country to protect their communities against aggressive activity by ICE agents. Practicing ICE Watch protects our neighborhoods from immigration enforcement by ensuring our community members know their rights, have a plan, and know how to act in the event of targeting by ICE. In addition to covering the basics of ICE Watch, we will discuss new analysis on ICE operations and safety guidance. When: Dec 3, 2025 06:00 PM Central Time Register in advance for this webinar: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FGEwGOrhQDKm3CNnIdGDAQ

love how this migraine pill packaging is designed for maximum frustration when my brain is at its slowest
a blister pill package where the paper backing has ripped off unevenly, leaving the one part where the pill actually is impossible to get through

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!
