Henlo fellow octopeople

Welcome to Octopeople Crafts

Octopeople Crafts is my opportunity to sell some things I've been making in quantities too large to hoard.

I used to have a dream job, then I realized I don't really dream of labor. What I dream of is a community that supports one another and learns from one another. Once I realized that, cultivating/participating in an educational community could be far beyond what I had envisioned. And it meant that finding income would have to be different than I had envisioned. So this is one opportunity I am working on, and I would love to see it thrive.

What's an octopeople?

Just me using an unconventional pluralization of octopus. So it's one octopus and 3 octopeople. Octopeople are not octopus-human hybrids, nor do they exhibit any human behaviors beyond what we already have observed. Really just me pluralizing octopus in a bizarre way, letting you all see my weirdness immediately.

Unless you want to be an octopus-human hybrid. I've seen them in animal crossing so I know you can be one too.

Mx. Octoperson

The octoperson, the myth, the legend

Mx. Octoperson (he/she/they) is the mascot for my shop. They were the first thing I did for my shop after coming up with the name, and my first trip into learning vector graphics using Inkscape.

I gave them angry eyebrows because they're my favorite type of eyebrow to have on an anthropomorphic critter. Gives them a special ferocity that can't be matched.

And I want you all to know how ferocious Mx. Octoperson and I are about crafts.

And Halloween 🎃

OH HEY, FOR BEST VIEWING, YOU'LL NEED TO TURN YOUR PHONE
