A gentle reminder that I am here and I do have Jesus Dressups. I have multi-packs of them for better deals, and lots of other things for sale you might like. But it’s obvious, JDUs are the biggest draw. I’m still popping up on people’s searches, even though these once-every-other-month postings make it appear as if I’m disappearing. But I’m not. I started seeing orders coming in last week, and was reminded, “Oh, hey, Christmas is down the road. I’d better say something.”
Every order goes out, if not the same day, the next morning, often with extra things included as a thanx. It’s still extraordinarily gratifying 25 years later mailing these fuckers out. 25 years later.

Every day I’m at the coffeeshop for a few hours so I can draw, read, write, and placate my mind. I am alone. Just me and this little 12 year old schnauzer in a house surrounded by feet of snow at the moment. But I’m mailing orders out, and if you have any questions you can email me those too. If there’s art you see by me, signed prints are possible too. You can find them framed in Whitehall at The Booknook Java Shop. If you’re passing through West Michigan (and noone ever is) you have to stop and take a look. They make for cool and unique Christmas presents. Or get one for yourself! Many do.

AT LAST, my shipment has arrived! I’m very happy to announce the NORMALS™ magnetic alphabet sets. They look fantastic!

Have you ever wanted to spell out a word on your fridge with some funny looking magnetic letters using the alphabet of the English language? Well, that’s my idea. And because some of you might wanna spell words that have the same letter twice, or sometimes even 3 TIMES, there’s a discount if you buy more all at once.

Each darling little letter stands about 1 3/4″ tall and has a personality all its own! They can make even the dullest words interesting.
Make spelling fun again!

I’ll ship out each order the next day.

Thank you for your continued dependence on me for your fridge magnet needs.

I plan to organize this better into my store, but I’m just so excited I had to post this now.

These last several years I’ve been drawing, almost exclusively, portraits. Portraits of famous people; artists, actors, authors I admire. The last two I completed were John Waters and Aubrey Plaza. For some reason after that I felt totally dried up on the subject. I’d just recently found myself single and w/no intentions of changing this status in the near or distant future. With plenty of emotional time to fill I needed something else to draw, FAST.

So back when I was a teenager, the things I drew, most often in a classroom on the blank side of a worksheet or test paper, were googly eyed things. It’s a subject that never left me uninspired. And that’s what I resorted to at the end of August, 2024.

I drew this Bouquet Of Frogs, and I really liked it! So then I did another, Abiogenisis, which actually got comments from people who saw it over my shoulder at the coffee shop. It’s like they’ve just been sitting around waiting to be drawn.

A couple pages a week. Practicing my pen & ink, keeping every line neat and exact. I enjoyed seeing what each would turn out to be even though I saw no use for them other than filling another page in the book.
They evolved into decorative borders. After several of these, I realized I had to do the alphabet.

Then I said, “These are neato! If I weren’t me I’d want these as magnets so as to spell things funny on MY fridge sometimes!” … is indeed what I said to myself.
Thus born the Normals.
Yesterday I sent them to print as magnets.
In a couple months I’ll have them to put up for sale, and I’m excited. February sometime.
So say hi. They’re Normals.
