Hey! Strange Hours is here in the Arisia Dealer’s Room, up to our usual flavor of nonsense. Cursed objects! Hats! Art! Crows! Need an eye, take an eye!

This year (because of plague safety protocols) we will have a lunch break between 1 and 2 pm each day, so plan your visit accordingly.

It’s a fill-tiny-bottles-for-the-vending-machine kind of Saturday. So many tiny bottles, so many. • Strange Hours will be headed out to @arisiainc this coming week! Find me and the Cursed Object vending machine and all the hats and all the prints in the Dealer’s Room. ✨🌚✨ #StrangeHoursAtelier #cursedobjectvendingmachine #cursedobjects #stuffinbottles #vultureculture #wunderkammer #oddities #shinytrinkets #crowcore #arisia #arisia2023 #scficonvention #scififantasy #fandom #boston https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIvoZ9NuhI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Egg day for the Cursed Object vending machine: pastel goth edition. You know how people always wish an army of crows would bring them shiny trinkets? The Cursed Object vending machine is that.

(See you soon Buffalo, my last Oddities and Curiosities Expo this year!)

(Hat tip to @nonasuch for the magic beans idea.)

Well, I committed to the thing. I bought the sibling capsule vending machine to @nonasuch ’s, after almost a month of waffling about it. The goal is to have a cross between a wunderkammer and an automat. Black light. Potentially cursed toy surprises… “toy” being a flexible term.

If any of this sounds cool to you, and you’d like to help with set-up costs, donations are appreciated! Paypal.me/strangehours with whatever works. (I lost my income source for this month, so I’m left to pull it together by bits and pieces instead of all at once.) <3

A cursed object vending machine possibly the most absurd thing I’ve done for my business yet, but I’m fairly certain that the ability to release serotonin is the real selling point here.

Umpteen bazillion hours later and the lunar snake weird anatomical heart is all dressed up with nowhere to go. My printer is unreliable which means I can’t produce a silkscreen master for this babe right now. Sigh. Maybe I should stick to analog.

Happy Imbolc! This remains the best possible art I will ever make for this holiday. So you’re getting it again. 🌒🌑🌘 #StrangeHoursAtelier #Imbolc #groundhogday #stbrigidsday #wheeloftheyear #crossquarter #groundhog #prognostication #divination #johndee #astrolabe #astrology #celestialsphere #celestial #calendar #mystical #esoterica #esotericart #occult #occultart #arcane #lestresrichesheuresduducdeberry #illustration #illo #drawing #penandink #inkwash #pagan #witch #witchcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CK0f6T1hxeC/?igshid=a92q09nr2r9a

On deck for this week: soft maidens unequaled in rage, maybe some glo Zuul if I’m feeling ambitious.

(Do not count on me being ambitious. Not in weeks with a fascist coup in them.)
