Psst: Pride stickers are up! and: the stickers that I didn't print (Patreon)

Hey, Art Nerds!

Michael needed the night off from figure drawing tonight to work on a commission, so I took the time to finish that listing for the Indivisible stickers I designed awhile ago. You can order them here, just in time for Pride Month!

I kept these cheap to encourage more orders - you can order 10 for $10 and stick them around town where they'll be seen! I only have about 350 of these left from my initial order, so I'm rolling these out just to you Art Nerds for now (I'll make a broader announcement Friday), and then I'll put in a reorder if they're doing well.

While I was designing a shirt for my friend Andrew's record store today, I happened to find the page of trans-supportive sticker ideas I wanted to make a few months ago.

These were fueled by the initial barrage of anti-trans legislation being proposed in the last several months. I still want to make a couple of them, but things changed so quickly that I wasn't sure which ones would have lasting power.

For example, the "Protect trans kids - use their pronouns in public" one was made just before states began passing laws that require teachers to "out" a kid who wants to use a different name/pronouns than the ones that align with their sex at birth. I'm not sure "use their pronouns in public" is the best way to protect trans kids right now, and I'm not sure how that'll change in the near future.

I'd still like to make a better version of the "All women belong here" one; there's no better example of sisterhood in the stalls than passing along a roll of TP to a girl in need (effectively saving her gd life)! And public restrooms are the best places to share your opinions in the form of a scratched-out message or haphazardly-affixed decal, imo.

I'd love to hear your own thoughts on these sticker ideas! Tbh it feels a little silly to promote stickers at a time like this, but I feel like putting messages on tee shirts or bumper stickers makes the wearer of the shirt or owner of the car the subject of scrutiny and doubt. By comparison, there's a "voice of God" element to a message that's spotted out in the wild, on the back of a stop sign or an electrical box.

And I'll see you off with this cryptic image of Pip as Mr. Peanut:

I'll refrain to giving you context, so as to preserve the mystique. ;)
