About Stable Products: https://taonaw.com/2026/03/20/about-stable-products.html

I wanted to write a comment to Pete about his Stable Products post, but it turned into a whole rant, then a post with footnotes. Stable products can and do exist, but the US economy is not meant to support those (I told you it’s a rant).

Gah, I accidentally dumped the post I'd been writing, 'cause I picked up my laptop and the screen went black on me? It's because I was excited to see that Etsy had changed listing options so I can set a US-specific price. Which means selling to the US is nearly back on (as long as USPS aren't destroying parcels). I'll need to adjust my prices on everything, and think about adding some more listings of my fayre stuff, for example. I would very much like to get back to getting a few sales here and there.

This has been balanced against feeling a strong wave of grief. I've been missing my best boy Batman a lot. I love our clowder, don't get me wrong, but he was special. I mean, he would tuck me into bed every night, and I knew no other cat would do the same. Not just because all cats are different, but because it was him. Closest I get now is Vivi humping my leg through the blanket nightly which... free leg massage? ><

Anyhoos.

I just got some of my best-selling art prints restocked!
Had to take a break from everything due to my illness (much better now!) but my art print guy is fast as heck, so these are now available again.

Weekend will be spent signing and packing prints, with a cup of coffee and a good audiobook or podcast. :)

(Rare luck for an illustrator to also love spreadsheets, ordering, sorting, labeling and packaging. If only I could also love accounting, but alas.)

🌟 NEW ITEM 🌟

I’m my restless dreams, I see that town…and I come back to it everytime. Now you can preorder these clear charms with the girls bosses of Silent Hill! Ends in September 11th.

Link! http://www.vevianart.etsy.com

Making merch always drains me, but gotta be honest, I’m really happy how this came out. Can’t wait to see them finished! They will be a little bigger than usual, around 3” / 7cm because I love that size ✌️
