went grocery shopping, then curled up on the couch with the cat and played Hades 2 until it was time to get Hiccup from school.

I don't know who had a lovelier day, me or Castor
photo of my dark gray cat curled up next to me on a couch nearly the same color as him. there's a pink blanket pulled over him; only the top of his head and the beans on the bottom of his front feet are sticking out of it. the photo doesn't show it, but fam, he was *snoring* happily same dark gray cat, but he's rolled over and how his head is on top of the pink blanket. he's smiling in his sleep

if you're in the Marysville area, I'm at the Jingle and Mingle holiday market at the Tulalip casino (it's the one behind all of the lit up trees!). free entry, and I've got secret guillotines behind the table
market/artist table set into an L shape. there's a bunch of purple and lino prints.

shout out to the mom on Halloween with the trio of kpop demon hunter kiddos who was handing these out to trick or treaters (and shout out to my kid who handed it to me like "here, you can have this one") bc I *really* didn't want to make a real lunch today
photo of a cup of noodles noodle cup on my hand. theres a fake label over it that matches the containers from the. beginning of K pop Demon Hunters, and designates this as Zoey's flavor

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Quote something random from your phone
a image of a shirtless wizard, with long hair and beard and wizard hat. he holds one hand up with an uno reverse card photoshopped in, while yelling intensely and pointing with the other hand. at the top it says "counter spell" and at the bottom it says "NUH UH"

Behold! A small sampling of the prints, cards, buttons, and stickers that I'll have this weekend
photo of a block print on a red and black background, with a dagger for set dressing. the print is black ink on white paper of a clown with a knife and a man in a pinstripe suit with a clip board, their poses mirroring each other. the clown is covered in red splatter a selection of pin back buttons, all made of pieces of lino prints. there are planets, a guillotine, a few raccoons, some fresno nightcrawlers, and a couple astronaut cats photo of block print taken in my backyard. the print is black ink on white paper and is of a shark reading a book in a claw foot bathtub. bubblebath bubbles are dripping out the side of the tub, and behind the tub is a curtained window. tiny fishes swim outside of it a holiday card! it's of a pissed off cat in a tree costume, a star tied around its head like a mane. it is dangling from the hands of its owner, whose sleeves are rolled to their elbows. their forearms and hands are covered in scratches and bandaids. the words HAPPY MAULIDAYS surround them. (in the background is a sneaky peak of a sticker with a skeleton in a baseball cap and converse sitting in the grass)

It's Oddmall Creepsmas time! As usual I'll be there with my prints and stickers, just in a different spot than usual. I'll be booth F19 this year!
a map diagram for the 2025 Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Creepsmas market. A cartoon version of myself has popped over the edge to say "it's oddmall creepsmas time guys! I'll be at F19, come tell me about your yard raccoons" and is pointing at the square marked F19, which is surrounded with a star

last call for this month's Patreon block print The Clerk and the Clown, fully inspired by the characters from MCR's Long Live the Black Parade tour

On November 1st they're only available at in-person events and by politely asking me online if I have extras after a show

patreon.com/magneticnorth
photo of a block print sitting on a red background. the print is black ink on white paper with pops (and blood splatters) of red paint. On the left of the print is the clown character from the LLtBP tour, smiling and prancing with a bloody dagger in his right hand and blood splatters all over his white suit. on the left, perfectly mirroring the clown, is the clerk character, his tie and carnation red, his eyes hidden by his glasses, frowning, with the keposhka letters for "nay" displayed in red on his clipboard. the print is flanked by a dagger (by the clerk) and the NAY sign from the tour (by the clown)

The Clerk and the Clown prints are finished; glamor shots tomorrow when the light is nicer
photo of my palm and inner arm covered in a bajillion droplets of red paint splatter (I've been splatter painting). in the background on the desk is a template with the outline of a clown skipping and holding a knife, his body cut out. the paper around the hole where his body would be is splattered in red

I'm super picky about what I call a good print and a misprint; sometimes it's bc the block moved and there's ghost lines. sometimes it's bc the black is a little patchy. sometimes there's a stray ink mark (chatter) in a place that pisses me off

so I have a lot of misprints to make buttons from
photos of pinback badges/buttons, all made from lino prints that don't meet my standards as prints either because part of the print was blurry (bc the block shifted) or the black was patchy or there was too much chatter in a place that pissed me off. the images on the buttons are things like raccoons, as astronaut cat, tentacles, part of a guillotine

I've got mine in the box from one of those Christmas artist suitcases. I jerry rigged it with a piece of pegboard and foamcore slats. You could get the same effect with wood sorting trays
photo of my sticker display. it's in an old wooden suitcase that I've Jerry rigged with foamcore and pegboard. the top is a pegboard displaying prints and hanging items. the bottom is gridded and displays my stickers

the new button dies are here, so now I have something to do with my misprints. I'll have these beauties at Oddmall on Nov 8th @oddmallpnw.bsky.social #printsky
a collection of badges/pin back buttons. They're in 2 sizes, and are a collection of raccoons, spaceships, and cryptids. they're block prints that have been cut up and made into something new close up of one of the buttons held in front of a messy desk. the pin is of a panicked looking raccoon

I should probably start carving this month's Patreon block, huh?

(yes it's the clerk and the clown from the Long Live the Black Parade tour, yes I have the brain rot, no you can't judge me)

photo of line art on a piece of battleship gray linoleum, with a carving tool to one side. the line art is of the clerk and the clown from MCR's most recent tour. The figures are each standing on one foot with their backs to each other, arms to their sides, as they mirror each other. The Clerk holds a clipboard and frowns, eyes hidden by his glasses. The Clown is gleeful, holding a dagger, his eyes cloaked in black make up

got a love being boxed in on all sides including a double parked semi making a delivery in a 2 hour spot at the end of my 2 hours when I'm trying to leave before I get a ticket
photo taken from my dash. I'm parallel parked with a truck in front of me, and I'm blocked into my space by a giant semi truck

Without downloading anything new - where are you mentally?
a two picture format meme. both images are of Sisyphus pushing a bolder up a hill and are identical. above the first picture are the words "how it started:". above the second is "how it's going:"

If you see this picture post a random image from your device
a screenshot from Barbie life in the dream house. barbie, skipper, Kelly, and Chesea are in bathing suits at a pool holding up the signs, except the signs are the "yea" signs from the long live the black parade tour

look at her, protecting her babies while acknowledging we're all there to pick up our own
photo taken looking up into the branches of an oak tree. just north of the middle of the photo, a huge crow is perched, looking for more acorn ammunition to use to protect her nest

sketchbook noodling out some ideas for October's block
close up of a skeleton doodle. it shows the lower ribcage of a sitting skeleton doodle, with one foreshortened leg that ends in an untied converse sprawled in front of its pelvis. there's an arm, with no hand, because fuck hands, they're hard already without also drawing bones

tattoo day! I swore to myself when I was 19 that if I had a kid, I'd ask them to draw me something to tattoo into my body and it is done.

kiddo drew this portrait of Castor a while back, and I had it tattooed right where the bastard likes to bite me
photo of a new tattoo on a forearm, near the elbow. the tattoo is maybe 3 inches long, and of a stick figure esc cat, and tattooed to look like the charcoal pencil my kid had drawn it in
