This card is off on an adventure to Belarus, to hopefully brighten someone's day.
Definitely feeling more confident now that I've had one arrive safely at its destination, but this might be my last for a while as I'm already running out of stamps that aren't war themed 🤦♀️

Dispatch from the Teacup
I was just thinking about Horton Hears a Who!—that Dr. Seuss story where the entire civilization of Whoville floats through the air on a speck of dust. Horton, a gentle elephant with ears tuned to the improbable, vows to protect the Whos, insisting that “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”
Isn’t that us—minus the elephant, I mean? Here we are, clinging to a planet that, in the grand scheme of things, is itself just a speck of dust drifting through a vast and indifferent universe. Are we really that consequential? Each of us is one among billions of squiggly life forms, riding a speck that hurtles through the cosmos at astonishing speed.
We are kind—riders on a merry-go-round, strapped into a Teacup at Disneyland. But these Teacups are bolted to a roller-coaster, and that roller-coaster is strapped to a rocket. Earth spins. Earth orbits. The Sun races through the galaxy. The galaxy itself shoots through the universe.
If there were a Horton out there—maybe with a microscope the size of a moon—he might spot the rocket. He might even glimpse the roller-coaster and the cluster of Teacups. But the odds of him noticing our single Teacup, let alone the squiggly life forms clinging to its surface, seem vanishingly small.
All the drama we stir among ourselves—our triumphs, our quarrels, our declarations—is, in the larger scheme, no more consequential than a single leaf falling from a tree. One day, in five billion years or so, Earth itself may cease to exist. And yet, the universe will go on—unbothered, unblinking, still spinning.
“Astronomy taught us our insignificance in Nature.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.” - Albert Einstein
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us… on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.” - Carl Sagan

Today I’m sharing a set of teacup greeting cards, featuring cups from my grandmother-in-law’s personal collection. These are family heirlooms.
https://goimagine.com/illustrated-teacups-greeting-cards-boxed-set-1-5x7-with-envelopes/
Painted, printed, and packaged by me in my studio. No artificially generated ridiculousness and no manufactured POD drop-shipping.

Reminiscing about sunny warm days and picnics. Here's a cuppa tea from an extravagant outing a couple of years ago.

My 2025 art calendar is finally done! I'm really happy with it--I have more of a personal connection to it than any of my past art calendars. It's a recording of family heirlooms.
And it's the smallest I've made: 7x10". It's nice for cubicles and alcoves!
Most of the images I've already shared here on Mastodon as phone wallpapers, but it comes with a QR code to access all of them in one place.

My 2025 Art Calendar, "Teacups", is finally here!
I'm proud to share the link to the piece I've been working on for such a long time, featuring illustrations of my family's teacups that I've been sharing here for a while. It's the culmination of a labor of love!
It's 7"x10", printed individually to order by me in my own studio, assembled, packaged, and shipped by me, too.

Spent today at my husband's grandmother's place where I took pics of almost 40 different teacups in her collection. The three of us chatted and had tea. It was wonderful!
I know what I'll be drawing for a while!

Here's a link to my unique design on #printables (where I prefer to hang out these days).
It's also on Thingiverse, but I may well strip all those off there someday.

My first set of 6 Teacup greeting cards are available on my shop!!
These blank cards are good for tea fans and folks looking to send good vibes!
I print them all in-house on my own 8-color printer and package & mail them out personally. No drop shipping, no outsourced manufacturing, no AI. Just personal attention directly from the artist. Currently they aren’t available anywhere else.

My friend has a business selling #vintage dishware and I recently purchased a few new #teacups. I’ve been incorporating them into my #art. Here’s one done in #pen and #watercolor in my #sketchbook. The perspective is off a bit so I may try again. I need to work on my drawing skills.

How about an #introduction to me?
Let’s see, I’m a #gay dude living in #melbourne with my partner (we’re both #polyamorous) and two #cats (the cats will likely feature prominently in my photos).
I’m very likely to be posting #selfies and I’m very likely to be in my #underwear a lot (I’m so sorry)
Some other relevant hashtags include #sciencefiction #doctorwho #travel #vintage #vinyl #teacups #startrek #scotch #dnd #nerd #geek #daddy #walking #nature #photography
Oh and my signature hashtag that’s followed me through tumblr, Instagram and Twitter is #gayswhohashtagforattention
So say Hi, poke or throw a digital sheep, whatever it is we do here to interact :)
