A new update schedule

December 14th - via: kickstarter.com
So here's what's happened: I didn't want to spam people, and I know it's hard to opt out of updates on kickstarter. Making a couple new critters a week for a full year would mean sending out so many updates as to likely annoy folks. But I went WAY... (Read More)

The Hochigan: Chapter 55. Found Plank, Shims, tacks, Aluminum, Cotton. The Hochigan stole speech from the animals, who've never spoken again. This mask is based (very loosely) on an African bird mask I took a photo of last time I was in DC. I did not... (Read More)
