Enamel Pin Collection Masterlist (In Progress Forever)
Enamel Pin Collection Masterlist (In Progress Forever)

I’ve done my best to keep track of which artists created the pins on my jacket since 2023.

Unfortunately, I’ve been collecting them since 2004, so I don’t have sources listed for all of them…yet. Keep checking in on this list, as I’ll be adding to it whenever I track down sources for the older ones.

Please do not email me asking about a specific pin! Send me a comment on Instagram or Twitter wherever you see the pin collection!!

Pins that are on my outfits:

  • Art Gallery of Hamilton - Transgender Pantone Polaroid

  • Botanical Bright - Most butterflies and moths came from this artist

  • Bexa Boutique - “Take your meds” pin

  • Goat Paws - Cat no Bananya button

  • Kentucky Moon Designs - Most of the butterflies and moths

  • Mother of the Moon - Glow-in-the-dark bat pin

  • Official Exclusive NYC - Most photography pins, Kermit polaroid pin, keyboard pin

  • Vylirium - “Fuck off” pin; Chubby cat in devil costume

Pins that I like, but don’t have yet:

October 2023 Art Dump
October 2023 Art Dump

This post also begins with a reminder that I’m more active on Tumblr these days, so if you like my art or are curious what fandoms I’m currently a part of, consider following me over there!

A miracle happened. I finished a drawing.

There’s no need to repost - you can reblog the color version or the original on Tumblr or view it on Instagram

Quickies

Jean-Claude and Violet wear nearly-matching splatoon colored scene kid outfits complete with belted platform boots and shredded leggings over top of fishnets. Next to them is another drawing of Violet, this time with hair extensions to change her usu

Got some requests over on Tumblr to draw my characters wearing things. There’s something really funny about the fact that (at least for now) one of the only full length images of Jean-Claude in existence is them wearing an entire Hot Topic while visibly uncomfortable with that fact.

(Here’s the list of prompts that I used at the time, but keep in mind that if it’s not October 2023 any more, I will have stopped taking the requests.)

My Fujifilm Recipes (2023)
My Fujifilm Recipes (2023)

If you know what Fuji “Recipes” are, you know.

If you don’t, here’s a video that explains it better than I could.

Stay Kodak Gold

  • Film Simulation: Classic Negative

  • Dynamic Range: 400

  • White Balance: Shade; Red: 3; Blue: -3

  • Color Chrome Blue: Strong

  • Color Chrome: Strong

  • Shadow Tone: +2

  • Color: 0

  • Sharpness: +2

  • Clarity: -1

  • Grain: None, None (or Small, Strong)

  • Editing in Post: Increase or decrease contrast until satisfied

Stay Kodak Gold Ver. II

  • Film Simulation: Classic Negative

  • Editing in Post: Increase or decrease contrast until satisfied

Diet Dr. Portra

I’ve personally found that the Fuji X Weekly “Portra” recipes tend to skew toward a sort of “Mountain Dew” yellow that just doesn’t match the results I get when shooting actual Portra 160, 400, and 800. The sky was also looking VERY green in a lot of photos I took with their recipe. I’m also admittedly not a fan of removing sharpness or adding grain in-camera — I would strongly prefer to do it later in Lightroom.

My goal with this recipe was to create something that would not look quite so out of place when I shared an image straight out of camera on Instagram next to countless photos taken on medium format and 35mm film.

  • Film Simulation: Classic Chrome — (If you want to return some of the warmth to the midtones without turning the sky green, use Provia instead of WB shift!)

  • Dynamic Range: 200 or 400

  • White Balance: Direct Sunlight (5500K); Red: +2; Blue: -2

  • Color Chrome Blue: Weak

  • Color Chrome: Strong

  • Highlight Tone: 0

  • Shadow Tone: -2

  • Color: +4

  • Sharpness: +2

  • Clarity: -2

  • Grain: None, None (or Small, Strong)

  • Editing in Post: Increase or decrease contrast until satisfied
