More Mushi are beginning to roll out today! The stickers & bios for Jinshaku, gyukan and umakan are now up on my website & social medias! but thats not all i’ve finished at least 6 more! that will steadily pop up over the next month or so! 🙂

Jinshaku – [Yokai | KanNoMushi] – An infectious germ which behaves like a wild boar! Teams of small white worms follow as it rampages from the kidney through the entire body, causing a weak pulse, dark complexion & putrid breath..The infected will crave salty foods! – https://samkalensky.com/products/jinshaku/

Gyūkan – [Yokai|KanNoMushi] – A hungry white cow-shaped germ that infests the lungs, whenever its host eats something it gets excited, it stampedes and lunges at their esophagus causing the host to suddenly faint! As its horns grow sharper treatment becomes difficult. Full post https://samkalensky.com/products/gyukan/

Umakan – [Yokai|KanNoMushi] a horse shaped germ that infests the heart where it runs wildly it reacts violently to sunlight or the flames from fire, causing its host to faint suddenly, they get back up as if nothing happened. (similar to an epileptic fit.) full post: https://samkalensky.com/products/umakan/

Also excited to see ya at the Japan market popup at the end of the month! 🙂

Minogame – [Yokai|Charm] – 10,000 year old turtles which have grown algea or seaweed on their backs (resembling a cape-like “mino”-Straw Raincoat.) Emblematic of longevity, luck & immortality; they’re often seen swimming along side the Shichifukujins treasure boat! – https://samkalensky.com/products/minogame/

Slimeback – [Fearsome Critter] – A peril met unexpectedly across new england streams; it spends its time camouflaged as a large rock in bed of a stream. When stepped on, it instantly exudes a thick inelegant coating of slime! Causing unwary fly-fishermen to slip into the drink! – https://samkalensky.com/products/slimeback/ ‎

Bakenokawa-goromo – [Kitsune|Tsukumogami] – An enchanted water-moss duck-weed overcoat which was once worn by the most nefarious of Kitsune; Tamama-no-mae. Perhaps, 3000 years after her defeat, the precious jade coat she wore took on her shape and beautiful looks… https://samkalensky.com/products/bakenokawa-goromo/

Kitsunebi – [Yokai|Kitsune] – Glowing multicoloured spectral orbs said to be breathed by magical Kitsune. Known to distract or lead people off of the beaten path, those that pursue will become hopelessly lost! it’s never a good idea to follow these flames… https://samkalensky.com/products/kitsunebi/

I’m gonna be trying for #ayokaiaday? – (We’ll see if i can or cant keep up the pace.) – On The 9th 10th & 11th of this month I’ll also be selling my work at a local Halloween event! (so consider the posts from the last few days as a pre-emptive make-up for that! ❤️) as usual support my art on patreon.com/samkalensky

Marquis Naberius – [Demon.] – (aka ‘Cerebus’) – Said to be the most valiant of Marquis, and the 6th general of the infernal armies, commanding between 19 to 29 legions. “Makes men cunning in arts & science, rhetoric & persuasion, can restore lost dignities & honours.” https://samkalensky.com/products/marquis-naberius/

Shirikodama – [Yokai|Kappa] – 尻小玉 “ButtBall” – A mythical organ said to be a kappas favourite snack (apart from cucumbers.) located right behind the liver, its said to contain the human soul. if its removed, you’ll lose all your energy or worse… https://samkalensky.com/products/shirikodama/

Thanks for your support at Sparkcg! Next up is the “nightmare before xmas market in October!” We’ll be back to more yokai/critter posts soon! <3 (finishing up my storage locker side-quest this week )

Thanks for your support at the last few events NikkeiMatsuri & Teru teru fest where both lovely times 🙂

Next up is spark animation fest at the Yaletown round house on the 20th!

(More upcoming events at the bottom of the page <3!) I’ll probably have a smaller display like i did at vancaf! What i have on display will likely change depending on the event (as a one man show the towers are exhausting to set up and only really make sense for longer 3 day shows.) lookin’ forward to seeing ya’ll again soon! and as always i’m working hard on more yokai so stay tuned <3
