I found a new place to buy my rodents for Lilly and I’m in LOVE with them!

They’re called Glacier Rodents, and if you live in the Seattle area, you gotta check them out. 

Their prices are amazingly low. Large rats are 3.50 each, and sold in very manageable packs of 5. Local pet stores are selling the same size rat for $9. The animals are very fresh and clean. So much better than the disgusting freezer-burned awfulness they sell at Petco and Petsmart. 

The literal ONLY downside is you have to order over the phone, but they’re extremely nice. It’s a small family run business. Billy, the owner, took my order personally, and even asked what animal I was feeding and how old/large she was; to give me the best recommendation. He’s even emailed me after I received my order, making sure I received it and asking how long it’ll last me.

The best part, is if you live in the Seattle area you don’t have to pay for shipping! They have a drop-off site on the east-side! It’s a lovely exotics hospital that they have an arrangement with. You can just drive in and pick them up yourself, no extra charge. 


Seriously, if you live in the Pacific Northwest; give these guys a shot. I couldn’t be more happy with them.

Things I would rather raise than children:

  • snakes
  • the roof
  • my salary
  • the dead
  • entire cities
I fell deeply in love with your art. You are so awesome!

Aww! 

You made my day :} Thank you!!

Any fellow reptile keepers have awesome display enclosures they’d recommend?

I’ve been looking at getting a snake specialty cage for my ball python and future carpet python. Animal Plastics has great deals going on at the moment… but i like the look of the Boaphile cages more… and then there’s Proline who’s local and UGH I can’t choose!

(Great find, thanks Crystel!)

I’ve been seeing this picture reblogged a ton. …and it’s driving me CRAZY because the color shifting on this is really ugly.

It bugged me enough to try and fix it back to how the photo was originally. 
Ta-da! A much more appealing looking animal! Such a great photo, I have no idea what possessed someone to color-shift it like that.

The Paint-It-Yourself Cthulhu Idols are ready for sale!

Inspired by the infamous statue in H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu”. Each idol is hand-cast from solid unpainted white resin, ready for your artistic touch! The idol is made to be painted, but it can also be further customized by carving and re-sculpting with epoxy putty if desired. 

The idol stands 4.25 inches tall, and is 2.5 inches wide at the thickest. 

There are only four available, so grab one while you can!!!

All of my fully painted Legion of Everblight models. 

That little bottle of light-blue paint has gone a long way… 

The Paint-It-Yourself Cthulhu Idols are almost ready! I’ve got at least six white blanks I hope to get up some time next week. 

Keep your eyes pealed for when the shop goes live!

I gotta say… They look pretty awesome once painted. The painted green jade idol will also be up for sale. There will only be one of him. Once he’s gone, he is gone. I plan to paint a few others, but each one will be unique.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to say this, but: Wrong Neko stickers are now on sale, thanks to a huge amount of help from Shy Custis and Coey Kuhn, who I cannot thank enough – Coey also helped with the art for the bonus psychic cat sticker, which is free to those who order all three sets!

You can buy them here!

Thank you to those who have been enthusiastic about these designs so far- your interest and reblogs help very much in getting my work out there, you are all rockstars to me!

Totally just bought all three sets. Super pumped to get these and put them up around my desk. 

I hope you guys do more works like this in the future!

I think they’re actually enjoying the attention aha

Oh dear that’s really the opposite of what I wanted to happen with that post

And the people supporting them are clearly not bird owners themselves

It doesn’t make them a bad…

Are there seriously parents out there that would base wither or not you could keep an animal on how many strangers pushed a “like” button?

That’s what I find most unbelievable about all this.

Anime trope sharks! This was a really fun project. A lot of you have probably gathered I really love sharks. I’m not that much into anime, but I’ve always enjoyed seeing parodies of anime tropes, especially the dating sim tropes. So why not combine them both?

I will be selling small 5x7 prints of these at ECCC.

This is a thing of beauty

Hourly comics part 6/6

These are the idols that Laine was casting.

And I didn’t so much give up as drive home and go to sleep.

Overall the hourly comics was a really fun experience. It was a fun challenge to juggle my obligations and time constraints with constantly drawing.

Ahhhhh! LILLY IS ADORABLE. Butt-snake! :D

Also i’m super diggin’ on your drawing of the cthulhu idols.

First casts of the Cthulhu idol! Super stoked about how these turned out! Gunna make more this weekend!
