Green & Black Tentacle Twist
I haven't made one of these lately. They worked best in the SuperFlex clay, which I haven't used in awhile because I kept getting batches of it where the clay was too hard to work with. The Premo is a bit sticky when it's still soft, so the tentacles would clump together and it was difficult to keep them separated. It was more annoying than fun to sculpt, so I haven't.
A clear case of medium directing the path of art.

Dog Monster Shirt
I don't think I ever showed you how the Dog Monster shirts turned out. Here's one on a Women's cut.
Which, by the way, I have learned is different from a babydoll cut in certain key ways. (I have babydoll cuts in stock also, but I wound up ordering women's cuts as well.) Basically, it's a cross between your standard t-shirt style and a babydoll. So narrower shoulders and shorter sleeves, but not as tight on the torso as a babydoll.
That red halo is from using a flash when taking this picture. I have also learned that clothing photography is something of a black art, and one which I have clearly not mastered. Time to sell the ol' soul, I guess.

Purple Squidface Nautilus
You know how a lot of horror movies use the mysterious bump in the night as a spooky trope? I have to suppose that's only scary to people who don't have cats (or pets in general). The loud, mysterious crash early this morning was immediately followed by the appearance of a cat with that "What? Me? What! I did nothing!" face on.

Dog Monster Mug
Working, working, working on getting all the new shirts photographed and resultant images prepped. Yes, I took pictures of the actual, IRL shirts in each size instead of Photoshopping a bunch of mockups because, I guess, I'm kind of insane. In theory I should only have to do this once for each design, though, so it's not actually as bad as it seems.
At any rate, I hope to have the new shirts up in the Feep eBay Store later on today. There are also a few figurines left to list, but the mugs and shot glasses are already up. So. There you have it.

Horned Furry Monster Silhouette Orneryment
A new style of orneryment for your edification (the frame is about 2 inches tall).
I also set up a Feeping Creatures Fan Page on Facebook last night, so if you're on the FB, you should be able to find and befriend said page here. If you have any feeps of your own you can post fan photos there, a practice I would greatly like to encourage.
I set it up to import this blog, but when the posts show up in the feed it only shows the text and not the photo. Since the photo is pretty much the whole point I may de-link the blog. Dunno yet.

Swirl Mollusc
Wheatsville went surprisingly well. Surprising, because with the cold and the rain I was not at all sure there'd be much of a turnout. And I do think overall traffic was down, but the people who came out were determined shoppers.
I will be listing the new merch (shirts! mugs! shot glasses!) in the eBay store this week, though I am almost out of mugs and will need to reorder.
Oh, and to the little girl who accidentally broke a feep yesterday, and whose parents made her pay for it: I just wanted to say I felt bad for you, though your mom and dad were doing the right thing. The truth is, I've had kids break my stuff before, and they usually try to slip the broken feep back onto the table without anyone noticing, and then slink away. I'm really proud of you for owning up to what happened. I didn't argue with your parents since they're obviously doing a good job, but I'm not mad at you and I don't think the feep is, either.

Yawnster Mug
I am up with the dawn today to go set up for the Wheatsville Arts Festival. It is, just so you know, 26 degrees F outside right now. This means you are obligated to come to the Festival to justify my having gotten up so early on such a cold morning. I will expect to see you there.
30th & Guadalupe, Austin, 10:00 AM to 5:00-ish PM. Non-Austinites are not off the hook.

Curly Dog Monster Ceramic Shot Glass
The new shot glasses, mugs, and t-shirts have landed! I will be hoarding my stock for the show this weekend, then listing any remaining goodies in my online store after the show is over, so they will be available for holiday giftery if that's your goal.
These shot glasses are ceramic and are microwaveable (sake!) and dishwasher-safe.
This is one of four different feep designs currently available. I'll post pictures of the others here over the next few days.

Flying Vampire Bunnybat framed
I am, as you might expect, in the midst of pre-show panic, the hurried frenzy of getting everything ready and making as much new stuff as possible in prep for Wheatsville. I posted this drawing on here before, but I don't think I showed it to you in its framed format. I will have several framed mini-drawings available at the show, some even smaller than this one (which is approx. 2.5" x 3.5").

Conical Mollusc
Wheatsville Arts Festival approacheth! This weekend, Dec. 5-6, from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM both days. Guadalupe & 30th, spread out across several local businesses (I'll be outside I ♥ Video). This is in Austin, of course. The weather should, in theory, be relatively pleasant.
My plan is to pick up the new mugs, shirts, and shot glasses tomorrow, so I will have them at the show. Rah!
