This embroidery pattern collection for cat lovers is the first deluxe embroidery pattern kit I have published, with several more in the works; this deluxe pattern collection will also be available soon as part […]
Above: a custom piece from the end of 2013 I’d forgotten to post about here. You can order your own custom-made embroidered vagina from the Scarlet Tentacle shop. Things I’ve been up to recently: a photographic essay. 1. Working on this piece for an auction benefiting CCWP and the Oakland production of the Vagina Monologues. […]

Renegade Handmade in San Francisco was, oh, a week ago, and with that, the 2013 holiday season is officially over, as far as I’m concerned. Hooray! On to 2014 and new adventures and venues. Again with the less-than-great photos of my booth this year! I’m really happy with the layout, but not so with the […]
My naughty ornament class at Kink.com’s Armory was last week and it was so much fun! I couldn’t have asked for a better, more enthusiastic group of students than the 30+ folks who showed up for class & trusted me to teach them how to make naughty ornaments. Here’s some photos from the gorgeous classroom […]
Big news, everybody! I’ve mostly finished moving into my new place, whose bathroom has now been fixed in such a way that the toilet is no longer in danger of falling through the floor into the basement. The place I now live still lacks functional hot water, but toilet-related bodily functions can now be performed […]
Just dropping in to quickly share an old illustration I created for my last job that I don’t think I ever shared here. It’s one of my favorites — it’s illustrating a very long piece of medieval-themed erotica, hence the stained glass inspiration. Amity Simone was one of my porn pseudonyms for my last job […]
Just a reminder that this illustration & sexy Halloween party invitation exists, and that you should use it for personal & non-commercial parties!
Hello, and welcome to What I’m Doing: Holes in the Bathroom edition. Because yes, that is a bathroom! Apparently, toilets are underrated, because we no longer have one in the house — though, to be fair, the one we had before was rather terrifying, because it was going to fall through the floor any second […]
A quick reminder: get some awesome Scarlet Tentacle merchandise like coloring books for adults & greeting cards at super-discount prices!

Did I mention that Scarlet Tentacle would be at Renegade Handmade last weekend? As always, the show was great — the atmosphere is lots of fun, and it’s really inspiring to be among so many other incredible creative folks. Also: thanks to all the lovely people who came out to say hi — it’s so […]

I know, I know, I’ve beaten you over the head with reminders about this. But just in case you’ve forgotten, I’m going to be vending at Renegade Handmade this weekend at Fort Mason in San Francisco. I’ll be at booth 25 with a huge selection of new & fan-favorite coloring books, greeting cards and other […]
I’m in the middle of preparing to vend at Renegade Handmade on July 27th & 28th — here are a few shots of my preparation! This is the stack of coloring book pages I need to fold and assemble. This stack iss somewhere between 700 and 800 pages of paper and is not the end […]
Hello, random visitor, I made you a thing: OK, so really it’s a fallopian tube tentacle monster, but you get the point. Is this what the GOP is picturing when they attempt to legislate women’s bodies? Also: do I really want to know what else comes up when one searches for tentacle uterus on the […]
Are you a fan of Scarlet Tentacle? Chances are yes, seeing as you’re here. If so, you might like a new project that I’m working on: It’s called Between a Butch & a Femme Place, and it’s a personal project about body image, fashion, gender identity, gender presentation, queerness, intersectionality and more, and it’s got […]
It’s that time of year again: Scarlet Tentacle will be at the San Francisco Renegade Craft Fair at Fort Mason this July 27th & 28th. I’ll be at booth 25 with my just-under-6-feet-tall wooden pin-up sign both days & will have oodles of brand new merchandise debuting at the fair; there will also be 249 other […]
Hello and welcome to this edition of Scarlet Tentacle’s Ye Olde Pin-Upe Woodshoppe, in which I will share in exhaustive detail how to construct a nearly 6 foot tall wooden automaton constructed out of plywood, ink, sweat, tears, acetone and unicorn hairs. I know! It’s everything you never knew you wanted! Step one, not pictured: […]
Here’s the part of my process where I scribble extensively over all of my work in an attempt to not forget the changes I want to make the next day — and since it’s digital ink, no layers were harmed in the marking of these corrections. Can you guess what the subject matter of this […]
Here’s the completed gig poster I was working on last week for a friend’s fundraiser where Emily Moldy played. What?! You haven’t heard of Emily Moldy? Go here right now and listen to My Own One and don’t be surprised when you end up playing it on repeat for the rest of the day. A […]
