No Love Is Wasted

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Empty Vessel - March 2026

Big thank you to @kokuthehuman for sponsoring this piece! Your support helped me create it.

ID: A statue of a blank figure with breasts; neither feminine or female, but hollow and disfigured, standing in nature. Behind it in the distance are warm dunes and calm waters, and it stands in a garden with aloe vera-like plants and trimmed bushes. There are white graphic decals inposing into the rendered scene; palm leaves coming in a radial fashion on the top left and bottom right corners. Anchoring them are mint green scallop shapes, merging into a border on a white background.

Because everyone keeps asking about it.

These Bastards are available as prints, cards and postcards over on RedBubble.

I’ve had a go at making stickers out of these and it’s bloody horrendous. So I hope you all can suffice with prints for now.
