This should be a blast! I've got a new baby at home, so if you want to see me do my thing this year and you don't live in Texas, this is your only chance!

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art Krampus and Santa with two fabric art, hand-embroidered trees in the background. The trees are embroidered with red flowers, yellow stars, and white snowflake arms. Krampus has a handmade bundle of sticks and a chain. There's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a lovely photo of Jasper. He's a black fabric art moth with a gray face and seven red eyes. He has a small open mouth with two sharp teeth on the top and three slightly larger sharp teeth on the bottom. He's covered with red embroidered flowers with gray lines around them. Short red lines and gray points and other folk art looking markings cover his body. He his twirly black antennae covered with short red lines all in a row. There's green fur in the background of the pic.

Here's a lovely photo of my green baseball cap. I've embroidered a bunch of red flowers with yellow centers, and another plant with green stems and a heck load of tiny pink blossoms. We can also see Pinkeye. She's a furry green puppet with a pointy pink tongue and pink bulbous eyes. She has two clusters of thin brown feathers popping up behind her eyes.

Hi #PortfolioDay

I'm Jeremy Creature, your friendly neighborhood horror writer and fabric artist. I design and hand-sew weird little guys. For most of my life I thought a pony was a baby horse.

We used to beg our parents to go to Blockbuster every weekend where they had SNL DVD collections of The Best of Chris Farley or Christopher Walken (who had an incredible sketch where he went on a prank show and “pranked” a man to death with a tire iron while the host freaked the fuck out).

I want to make them reconsider different elements of horror and other genres. Most importantly: my goal is to go out every month and give a fun-sized reminder that Halloween is just around the corner and that every Friday can be the 13th.

Dave Matthews Band bus incident - Wikipedia

I want to make my readers/listeners laugh the way they do when they think of the Dave Matthews Band bus (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Ma...) dumping 800 pounds of shit onto an open roofed boat on the Chicago River.

My last book even had some young love. If there’s an emotion reading can make you feel, I want to make you feel it.

With Drop Dead Fiction, I’ve got a narrower focus...

Yes, there’s horror. It’s a big element. There’s also comedy, unless you don’t consider fart jokes comedy, and in that case, there’re lots of fart jokes. Deep, well-drawn characters. Fast-paced plotting, taking cues from Chris Claremont’s X-Men. Beautiful, rhythmic sentences full of wordplay...

Then I had Indian food, which I’d always been told would destroy me but I loved it. It’s incredible, and that’s because the goal is to stuff as much flavor as possible into every damn bite.

With my books, I’m trying to be like Indian food...

When I was a kid, I hated spicy foods. My best friends’ Dad would take us to Hooters and egg us on to try the hottest flavors because American spicy food is a tough guy test. (IPAs are a tough guy test too, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.)...

Here's a photo featuring a stack of the book Familiar by Jeremy C. Shipp. There's another copy leaning against the stack, with the cover facing the camera. The cover shows an open mouth with lips made of muscle and teeth made of fingers and a tongue made of intestines. In the back of the mouth, there's an eye. My fabric art homunculus is sitting on the stack of books. She's green with big sparkling red eyes and a tiny frown. There's also a black and red mushroom near the stack with a large eye. Near the stack, there's also a pinecone covered with googly eyes.

I could use some help spreading the word.

My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall.

Think Junji Ito meets Little Women.

I decided to add some music and put them into a Patreon called Drop Dead Fiction. I've been publishing a story every month since October 2023. It’s some of my favorite writing, all done with music. I’d love for you to check it out.

I channeled that energy into something more horrific and I wrote pieces like “A Pre-Surgery Speech” that opens, “Before you go under, I'd like to thank you for believing in my ability to perform this appendoctomy when the Texas Medical Board does not.”

Eventually we started staying up until midnight then flipping channels between SNL on NBC and Mad TV on Fox. I fell in love with sketch comedy during those late nights.

Hell yeah!!!

We ditched all of our furniture when we moved from CT to OK. I don't regret it at all. The only thing I'd recommend is investing in an air mattress so you don't need to race to find a bed/sleep on the floor when you get there

If y'all have been waiting to snag a book, I'd love to pay out my advance for Say Uncle and I'm about $20 away.

I haven't gotten a new paid subscriber at Drop Dead Fiction in over a year. That'd be pretty cool too.

Jeremy Creature

Hey Bluesky, I could use some help spreading the word about my Big Cartel shop. Each of my creatures is designed and hand-sewn by me, and takes many hours to create.

jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of Foxtail. He's a gray fabric art ancient statue. He's tall with roundish ears that go out from the side of his head. He has two black eyes of different sizes, and a lopsided frown. He also has a black belly button. He sort of stands upright with a roundish middle. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a lovely photo of Thunk. He's a gray fabric art pet rock with two large black eyes and a wide, thin black frown. His eyes are slightly different sizes. He's rather wide and his eyes are on either side of his body. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a lovely photo of Violet. She's a black spirit, with a gray face, large golden eyes, purple eyeshadow, and purple lips. She's covered with embroidered purple flowers. She has two twirly head wisps. There's green fur in the background and she's standing on a galaxy print fabric.

Here's a lovely photo of Mabel. She's a fabric art spider of sorts with 9 red and black eyes on top. She has two mouths on either side of her body full of sharp teeth. She has six long green arms with rows of yellow lines on them. Her body is also covered with green and yellow embroidered flowers and yellow line markings. In the background there's a lovely galaxy print fabric.

Here are the four Jeremy Creatures I currently have available at my shop. I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered them. Each one took many hours to create.
