Striped Snat - Feeping Creatures monster figurine

I'm back from Space City Con. It was a great show! I'm a bit worn out, though ... not sure how THAT happened (gaming until 1:30 in the morning might have had something to do with it).

Feeps at Space City Con: August 10-12, 2012

 I'm off to Houston for Space City Con. This will be my first show in Houston in three years, so if you're in H-town this weekend, stop by and say hi!

Striped Snail - Feeping Creatures monster figurine

Clearly this is one of those snails that, as it grows, must find bigger and bigger pieces of discarded candy to live in.

This is about how fast I'm moving this morning.

Feeping Creatures Fire Snat Figurine

Those are racing stripes, obviously.

Conical Mollusc

They use their powerful tentacles to pry open laptops.

Black & Red Tentacle Mollusc

What kind of monster would it be if it didn't have a bowl o' bones for breakfast?

Black & Red Tentacle Mollusc

I updated the Feeping Creatures Etsy Store yesterday with a bunch of new listings, including new figurines and new original art. Just so's ya know!

Duck-Billed Tentacle Mollusc

Is it a monotreme, or something even stranger? Science has decided it is a little bit afraid to find out.

Tentacle Mollusc

Spookytime is nigh ...

Coil Mollusc

What this skull needs is a betentacled critter living in it.

Conical Mollusc part II

... Oh, that cat.

Conical Mollusc

This feep had heard that there was a cat about somewhere, but so far the coast seems clear ....

Curly Conical Mollusc

It turns out spiced tahini may be too delicious. Either that or my pants keep shrinking in the wash.

Curly Conical Mollusc

Featuring a jar of anise, and a spice blend I put together to go in my tahini, except that I had to photograph it before mixing it all together.

(Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg, in case you're wondering. For an apple dip.)

Shelled Tentacles

Somewhere ... out there ... is an entire hour of the day, run off to find its fortune. It leaves behind a vague feeling of guilt for getting up at 12:30, even though really it's only 11:30, really, I mean, that's so much less bad.

Eyeball Mollusc Necklace

It's one of those days where I just got up and it's already nap time.

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.

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!
