If there's anyone active in the Portland / Wilsonville Oregon skate scene, I found a Nazi who sponsors the events and runs a skateboard training service. I reported him to the Wilsonville Skatepark Association but they just said they'd "talk to him". I don't think anything will change. 🥲 Keep your eyes out for events sponsored by "Pouregon" in Wilsonville or Portland. I don't like posting this stuff but I'd rather people be safe and aware.

My piece for Dark Fairy Zine.

Loosely following the medieval Sephardic tradition of Las Fadas. In medieval Spain Sephardic Jews would hold welcoming ceremonies for baby girls to give them their Hebrew name, and in some accounts circle the child to protect them from evil fairies.

My story follows a fairy who's done his best to track down a girl he was once set on stealing away- only to find out she'd grown into a handsome man who doesn't perceive him due to a lack of belief in his kind. His frustration changes to confusion and endless yearning for something he'll never have, doomed to be an eternal observer.

I've ordered to have a jeweler's stamp made for me, this little guy!! it'll be stamped like my tiny tiny chai I posted earlier, but 11mm

I can't wait for it to get here so I can make little tiny pommies. I have bronze and brass discs. I'm wondering if I can also shape them, but we'll see! I'm new to stampings

Love your shop and def will be adding your stuff to things I want to invest in the future. I have a question though, since you work through big cartel, and a lot of artists are only on there and not etsy my question is: do you know if there is like a database or a way to search for other artists on big cartel or even websites like shopify and other sites that artist use? A lot of cool artists are not on Etsy and I wish it was easier to know who's on it. Im glad i found you on tumblr because your stuff is beautiful.

Thank you and may all the fortune find you!

I'm so sorry to respond late!! Thank you for appreciating my work ❤️ sadly bigcartel does not have a marketplace, all the shops are separate and we're in our own realms.

It was just a way more manageable and more affordable shop, bigcartel doesn't have so many fees attached to everything and a marketplace full of dropshipping and spam, and the constant pressure messages to lower my prices or guilting me to ship at speeds I can't manage with my workload and disabilities. I'm hoping there will be a better option for a marketplace site in the future! Just haven't found one people actually use

🧪 Witness a man transformed against his will in a manner both monstrous and sublime.

🧪 Accompany a lost soul as his search for the object of his obsessive devotion leads him into a labyrinthine network of conspiracy and murder.

🧪 Revel in villainous excess as they conduct unethical yet homoerotic experiments on each other.
