ughhh I hate this!!

thank you so much for reading it!! ❤️

Also, it is 15mins but I am in the midst of programming 60-90mins of short puppet films to be screened as a block!

hahahaha - there will be a friends screening in NYC and LA later this year, and then hopefully a film festival tour! but if we wanna do an Alaska premiere or in-progress showing...

sort of! it was inspired by my memory of a Rear Window poster mashed up with scenes in many kaiju films where like...the shadow of the monster is cast against a building mashed up with a Wes Andersoney vibe I can't quite articulate yet!

two animal headed marionettes appear in an window of an apartment building. a kaiju shadow is cast against it. the text reads THE LAST FIFTEEN MINUTES - a marionette musical by shing yin khor and jay ackley

dang, this poster for my film slaps

I will be here at one of
my favorite shows, with zines and delightful things! Come and tell me your favorite bear facts!

I am very supportive of this USC unionization effort and hope that they win!

(I am excluded, but only because adjuncts in my department are already unionized!)

#MakeAThing2026 Had to make a little guy to exchange with @shing.bsky.social at their artist talk for @ccacomics.bsky.social last night!!! So weird to go back to my old school now that so much has changed, but it was a lovely night!

Tonight at 7pm in room N203 on campus, join us for an artist talk with award-winning cartoonist, game designer, and puppeteer Shing Yin Khor @shing.bsky.social ! This event is free and open to the public, and is presented in partnership with the Queer Cultural Center. portal.cca.edu/events-calen...

they should have tucked in a $20 bookmark as a removal tip.

Deepak Chopra's book, Meta Human, is propped up against the side of a building. A pink post it on it says FREE.

wow, san francisco really understands environmental storytelling.

a pile of tiny and unspecified mushroom paintings with little faces.

You know I am @mgillman.bsky.social's pal and not their student, as I have drawn all these mushroom little guys with zero research, only vibes.

come see us talk tomorrow! and trade a little guy drawing with me!

Oh, neat! I'd love to know which festivals you'd recommend!

It Was A Beautiful Machine (Short Film) A sci-fi dance film parable about destroying what sustains you.

My partner Olive is in the last 16 hours of fundraising for their short film It Was A Beautiful Machine! We have about $1500 left to go, and you can get a lovely process zine(with some of my art in it)! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bel...

I should really make punch cards for my frequent collectors. 😂 Buy 10 and I send you a little guy.

a collection of wooden masks with coral pink accents

a new collection of work getting prepped for Beasts of Burden, the show at Archimedes Gallery in May with @leslielevings.bsky.social and @evafunderburgh.com

tiny watercolor paintings of little dudes. one is a half man half fish. one is maybe a bug? the other wears a mask and is butt naked.

some of the little guys available for trade. (i'll get like 20 done, they will all be very silly)

Come see Mel and I in conversation at CCA next week! I think I'm going to do a little guy trade - bring me a human-made drawing of a little guy and I'll give you a very tiny original painting of a little guy(we'll see how many I get done).

4/14 @ 7pm, join us at CCA for a talk by award-winning artist Shing Yin Khor @shing.bsky.social! Shing will be delivering a talk about making little guys, telling stories with objects, sustaining a multidisciplinary creative career, and the endurance of human-made art.

i've been back a couple times, and each time the place falls apart a bit more, which really works for the vibe

Haw Par Villa in Singapore has an unparalleled Hell theme park exhibit you should check out, if you don't know of it already. I first saw it as a kid and it has stuck in my head forever
