DRINK TEA!

February 5, 2019 LittleFears104 Comments

Heck yeah! DRINK TEA!

My creativity is pretty much fuelled by tea. I drink at least ten mugs a day. Usually closer to fifteen. About one an hour. And my cups massive.

Like, fo real, look at that bastard! It’s bigger than a reindeer! It’s a double sized mug. Well, by British standards.

Whatever… It holds lots of tea! Back to the tea-tee.

Fuen holding a cuppa is for me, quite frankly, moods. She’s available from our Threadless store and here’s a link to it: littlefears.threadless.com

Rust Theory

Brass Ep. 21

Copper reached down and clawed at the dirt around the metal lump. The soil around it was dark, both burned and stained with oil.

Stones came up in her claw. Underneath, a cracked bulb glinted up at her. She dug her talons in around the metal casing and lifted it out. A long and narrow head, similar to her own emerged. A rigid body and four legs followed. Its stiff tail coiled like a spring. A rusted patina browned with age and dirt.

Who or what-ever this was, she knew it wasn’t evil. After all, there’s no rust for the wicked.

Falling Street

Brass Ep. 20

Copper darted outside when she heard a rumbling from up the road. She could see the supermarket had collapsed in the distance. The rot of this human-made world was decaying faster by the day. No change there.

As she started the long walk home, she noticed the storefronts had rotted in the short time she’d been in the hardware store. Buildings creaked as the timber frames gave.

A clunk came from below her, as she stubbed her toe on a lump of metal protruding from the ground. Something was afoot.

Aquarius

‘He steadied himself against the tiles. He’d been here for twenty-three hours. Stuck at a public urinal. Releasing an endless stream of urine. He wondered whom he’d pissed off to deserve this fate. She stood quietly behind him. Wondering how much longer he could stand here before his legs gave.’

Were you born between January 19th and February 19? Then she’s the lady that’ll haunt you if you’re wicked enough to get her attention.

Yeah, I know, we’ve done Aquarius before. But for those that don’t check my Etsy store, we’ve put a grey-faced, blue-eyed, wicked little squid lady up as an art print.

She’s available for £15 with free global P&P.

Xieili

Cooo, now that’s a mouthful! You can tell I’m trying to use up the last unused letters of the alphabet now, right?

So yes, say hello to Xieili for this weeks #Colour_Collective. The colour this week is Midnight Blue. A chuckle from every Tumblr user for the mention of Midnight Blue.

Ho, man, have they gone mad with the new UI. It’s got a, quite frankly savage Midnight Blue.

Old Tumblr Blue was pretty darn tooting bland. But muddy funster, looking at this makes your eyes bleed.

Sticking with the Midnight Blue theme, let’s hawk some wares.

The horned one is available on my Etsy store and here’s a linky: etsy.me/2sHiY3a

Bird Table

Brass Ep. 19

Next to the exit were the pet and bird foods. She’d always filled the bird tables despite the seed never being eaten. The wind would always take it eventually.

The only seed that hadn’t blown away was David Elms heavy bird food. A five-kilo bag was only the size of a one-kilo bag of flour. Also, the poshest bird food Copper had seen. The seeds wore tiny tuxedoes. The birds still didn’t eat it.

Copper figured it was un-peckable.

Vice Chip

Brass Ep. 18

She hurried up the aisle of the hardware store, emptying the shelves of various oils into her trolley.

She rounded a corner and saw clamp attached to a workbench. Beside it laid seven decks of playing cards, a pile of £20 notes and a handful of casino chips.

She knew the shopkeepers only vice was gambling.

Electric Ave

Brass Ep. 17

Copper pulled a few lengths of wire off their reels. Electrical work wasn’t her speciality. Despite needing some electrical work, she’d repeatedly avoided repairing herself. A lot like the lady used to avoid going to the dentist.

She picked up some fuses and looked around for some rubber matting and safety gloves. Her inability to repair basic faults had been called into question many times.

People were frequently shocked when they realised what a bad electrician she was.

Here’s not there yet – Horned

January 29, 2019 LittleFears15 Comments

I often find myself saying “I’m getting there,” when asked how I am. Well, here’s not there yet, is it?

I am creating some different designs for my Threadless store while pulling off all my art prints. My prints haven’t sold Threadless. I’m also re-making all of the mockups. Dark backgrounds were the most unpopular mocks when I polled last year. Clean ice white backgrounds just aren’t Fears, but we can lighten the pics in other ways.

Paint Canned

Brass Ep. 16

Copper made her way up the paint aisle. She loved the rainbow of paint pots. Racing Green, Warm Sand, Yellow Sulphur and Deep Violet.

Suddenly, she realised there was no blue paint. She backtracked along the aisle reading the names on the pots. Copper saw labels that read Royal Blue and Ultramarine Blue. They both appeared to be green. Her heart sunk. Was she going colour blind?

That’s come completely out of the green.
