I've done a thing... I am doing this challenge where you do a design based on a theme (this one was Heaven and Hell) and then there's 6 weeks to get preorders, profit changes depending on volume, yadda ect. I really wanted to share this here because I'm proud of how this turned out. I figure my rat people will appreciate a rat design. I don't wanna be a weirdo and the marketing part of the challenge is absolutely giving me serious anxiety, but I really wanted to share and if any of y'all actually buy a shirt I would probably piss myself in excitement.

These design challenge shirts are all preorder only, and only available during the six week window which went live today. Every shirt preordered will be printed, though if a design sells less than 10 shirts they will be digitally printed as opposed to screen printed. There is a TON of good art available on the Raw Paw site, so if you follow my link, do look around. This was a really fun challenge.

I had the idea of the rat king and the cycle of good and evil here, with the wings and crown changing in a circle. The shirts are only going to be on the natural beige color, the design challenge locks every artist into one shirt color and one to two ink colors, so I do apologize if you really like the design but hate the shirt color. : /

Otherwise, thanks for taking a look at my art. I will repost this 3 weeks later if the mods will allow it.

I'm wondering how many of you have experience with EDS and amputation? I'm dealing with a couple failed fusions and osteonecrosis and lots of ligament scarring in my right ankle and am trying to work through all my options. My end goal is the most amount of function for the least amount of pain. I'm really not enthusiastic about fusion revision, especially since my ligaments get worse every time, and I've got nerve pain and muscle spasms. I'm thinking maybe a below the knee amputation might be a better option long term instead of a series of revision surgeries only to still not be able to walk without severe pain or at all. I know amputation is a serious thing to go into that has its own long term risks and issues, but my issue has always been my bad collagen and my ligaments failing, and the fusions are making that worse instead of better and there's something appealing about just not having those ligaments be a thing anymore.

I see my Ortho again tomorrow and it's gonna be a fun conversation as we try to deal with what my MRI showed.

For me it would be The Cell. I adore that movie. It's so stylish and vibrant and visual. I'd love to do a double feature with What Dreams May Come, which yeah isn't horror but makes me feel all the things, including horror, and is also so so beautiful. Gimme gimme gimme.

​

Also I'd love to see Midsommar in the theatre, I've only ever seen it at home and I bet it's stunning in a big screen environment.
