Holly also has comissions open.

The Moon Witch, both BIPOC and woman owned, runs an Etsy shop with a mix of everything including themed mystery boxes, home decor, jewlery, and more.

Stickers by Massiveus

Moni is a lesbian artist and the co-owner of an Etsy shop, Massiveus, where they sell keychains, stickers, prints, and pins. MASSIVEUS is a jointly owned shop by allibunn and scarysu. We think the colors and style of their products (cute yellows and pinks) are fitting for the summer months.

It is a hand drawn original flash sheet with lyrics from: “Caught In The Middle”, “Rose-Colored Boy”, and “Anklebiters”. AngelMakesthings also has a pin for “Rose-Colored Boy” and a sticker pack inspired by the flash sheet.
