Ubik by PKD

Here’s a reel that depicts what I intended to be the overall experience of holding and opening this book. The dust cover depicts the Ubik and the advertisement on the back in relatively normal fashion, only to be revealed as distorted and regressed once the dust cover is removed. All the ads for each chapter in the book are similarly designed.

This #WeirdWriterWednesday I am telling you all about my latest side project. Which I'm calling "The Butcher's Book".

Finally finished the whole gang!

100% bullshitted, 200% adorable

I always figured the British colonized #Nigeria primarily for its natural resources, but I recently came to understand how valuable they found the #artsandcrafts of the #KingdomOfBenin to be. I always figured this was a secondary interest, but that’s incorrect. The British understood the cultural & economic value of art, yet somehow today we’re made to question whether the #art we make has any value. #colonization #colonisation

How cute are these linocut pocket journals?! I just did a limited run of 9 this time but I think I'll be making more in the future if people like them at the art market...

Bad news, crafty people. JoAnn is going to be toast for a lot of you. Partner was notified this morning. Sold to liquidator. 500 stores closing, including hers. Leaves 300 nationwide. So hit em up while you still can.

This is a rebind I made for an auction that will take place in April. The auction is organized by PressThePatriarchy on Instagram. Keep an eye out if you want to bid on this one.

Bookcloth used is ivory wooqu. Endpapers are from the 1950s Flower gift paper book by The Pepin Press.

I have a horrible habit of gradually using more and more pressure when hand foiling, and I end up burning holes thru my bookcloth.

#CONTEST - help me think of some snarky, punny or timely words to put on these candy hearts! If I end up using your suggestion I’ll thank you publicly when I post them & will share a link to your website or project!

A question for crocheters, knitters, or any other fiber artists: If you sell your art, how do you set a price? I’ve loved selling at small #artsandcrafts shows in the past, but I feel like I’ve been undercharging for pieces that have taken hours. Any tips? #fiberarts #artist

Hey crafty people and people that like and support crafters:
My partner, who works at JoAnn (which if you're in the know you realize is in trouble) recently opened an Etsy store as a side hustle. Currently she has a table runner set and a couple quilts she's made, and also some doll stands. She wants to expand it with more items and is also looking into creating kits so people can craft their own items. Check it out!
