The Poles, a special graphic on gold, which I create for my prepared book Slavs in pictures and poetry about slavic nations (my artwork, print with the colors and the gold foil)

Okay! Due to (totally unexpected) popular demand:
CMYK Test Print PATTERN - pay what you want, a tip would be appreciated but no pressure!
worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.
I've been stitching some cicadas lately. This year is going to be a big one for the screaming bugs!
For those interested in making their own cross stitched cicadas, the patterns are available for sale here and here! (Please note: my software skills mean that I had to freehand the AAAAAs rather than place them in the pattern itself, so those are not included in the patterns. This does mean that you can make these little guys uniquely your own and add any sort of scream that you'd like, though!)
