Today marks 5 yrs since my 1st poem collection, Carbon Footprint (Alien Buddha Press) was released. It remains their best selling book, contains Pushcart & Best of the Net noms. In a new interview, I sit down with APB to discuss the book's legacy & share unseen poems from the vault! Links below!

Thank you! I've gotta track down the others

Look at this sick Gotochi Kaiju I picked up in Mexico City! It's based on natto. Love this guy, it looks like a tamale from the top!

Inspired by my love of body horror, amphibians, and mushrooms, this project is a total union of all of that.

All profits go back into production (molds, vinyl, upgrading setup, etc.).

I'm currently only making blanks but will be planning on producing painted pieces soon.

Stay tuned for more!

Jon Eugenio @thedurabun.bsky.social · Sep 3

First production quality piece straight from my primitive setup??

Strange creature Bufungus is ready to invade your ecosystem. With a header designed by yours truly, it's ready to find a new home.

It's messy, it's weird, it's 100% DIY. Lookout for it at a local show or DM me for one.

As I continue to refine my sofubi pulling technique, I decided to design a header card... What do you think?

It's been a while but I think I'm getting close to cracking this diy sofubi thing. Behold BUFONGUS v2. I updated the master sculpt, created a new mold, and made some test pulls, including the most successful pull of this entire journey. Stay tuned for more!

First test pull, it is cracked and damaged

It's been a while but in inching closer to producing DIY sofubi...I present to you BUFONGUS version 2...ready to get turned into a mold!

Jon Eugenio @thedurabun.bsky.social · Jun 10

Test pulls! The molds and technique works, although I think I may have to iterate on the sculpts and molding. Stay tuned for more!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

SHIELD • YOUR • NEIGHBORS

Here in #LosAngeles, we protect our neighbors at all costs.

A family of 3, outlined in green, hide behind a roaring bear, as large foreboding black shadows with nightsticks and helmets lurk behind it. A green star outstretched at their feet as they try to hide from view. Text at the bottom reads in call caps: "SHIELD YOUR NEIGHBORS"

I know!

Jon Eugenio @thedurabun.bsky.social · May 13

First couple of molds done! Got some more curing in the meanwhile!

Very excited for the results! Hoping they come out good, meaning I can start pulling in June!
