In the 1980s, did you have a folder, or perhaps a Trapper Keeper, that had a painting of dolphins in beautiful jewel like waters, or alternatively, flying through outer space? Who did all those paintings, anyway?
The answer is Christian Riese Lassen, an avid surfer who loves all things oceanic, spiritual, and cosmic.

König was suddenly closer, his thigh brushing yours. His other hand slid up to your face, tentative fingertips running along your tensed jaw to turn it back to him. A wide palm cradled your cheek as if you were made of fine crystal, one wrong move and you’d shatter in his grasp. As fragile and shaken as you felt in that moment, you might have.
“There are bad, bad people out there, Hase. I do not want to think about what could have happened to such a pretty girl in the wrong hands.”
Your world tilted a bit at the implications, thrown into a tailspin being confronted with it all at once. But his voice was so entrancing, with a low hypnotic tone that you could barely hear. He had you leaning forward into his hand, closer to his face just to make out the words.
“It’s a good thing I found you before someone else did, isn’t it?”
Your lips trembled, but an answer wouldn’t come. König’s patient touch kept you steady, and you couldn’t tell if you eventually nodded, or if he pulled down, guiding your chin to agree.
“But I won’t let anything else happen to you, little one,” he whispered, his thumb brushing over your burning cheekbone with a slow, affectionate stroke. “You’re safe now.”
König gazed at you, soft and imploring, and you nearly dove headfirst into blue eyes shining like the calm surface of a lake, the promise of sun-brightened water, of weightless days floating on the surface, carefree and warm — wouldn’t it be nice? But you only sat on the shore, feet disappearing into the sand as the waves eroded the ground at your ankles.
“I promise,” he said.
You believed him.

☾ * ☁︎ 。 . ⭐︎February Patreon Pattern ~ Neon Nocturne ⭐︎ ☁︎ ⋆ . 。☄︎ *
These neon palettes have been all the rage lately. My Patrons wanted something with a bat, and I hope you like it! To me, it's very reminiscent of Lisa Frank vibes + Trapper Keepers from the 90s. I'm sorry to those that missed these aesthetics in their heyday. We truly were living in a colorful time.
Snag this design on my Patreon, Tiers 2 & 3 until March 15th! Click this and tell your friends! -> https://www.patreon.com/badstitch

Probably the most 1980s thing you will see all day: a Critter Sitters Trapper Keeper.
Since Google seems to be slim on info about this for some reason: Critter Sitters was competition by Mead (the paper/stationery company) with the cutesie character fare by American Greetings and Hallmark (the Big Greeting Card Cartel) in the early 1980s. They had some popularity but not nearly that of, say, AG's Strawberry Shortcake or Hallmark's Rainbow Brite. Since Mead made the papergoods it was easy for them to put their characters out there.

the next chapter of trapper, keeper is turning out to be another long one T.T 11k, RIP to my beta reader.
But it should be up on Sunday if I can get it all cleaned up! I feel like sometimes I’m just so long winded…but this chapter and the last are pivotal for everything to move forward to the good good stuff :3
I’m really grateful for everyone who has stuck with me on this story and left such kind comments 🥹 comments are so encouraging and I re-read them for a boost when I’m having a bad writing day 💕

Traces the downfall to a back-to-school market (which is compressed into a few weeks of the year) that was placing too much demand on retailer shelf space to carry a product that came in such a variety of aesthetics and individual SKUs
