Last year, I successfully crowdfunded my new, original, all-ages, adventure comic series -- ENDLESS FANTASIA! It follows the adventures of Jack and Jill, as they travel across a world of reimagined fairytales and fight Wolf demons! Lots of Sonic and Kingdom Hearts vibes! It drops later this year!

Too lazy to grab all my stuff, so here’s my favorite things: my prints signed by @yardleyart.bsky.social and @danny8bit.bsky.social. I had the honor of meeting both of them at Momocon and they were both so kind and lovely. Getting to talk with Daniel Barnes about his work 100% made my entire weekend

I’m still so proud of the work @danny8bit.bsky.social and I did on The Black Mage which dropped back in 2019. We’ve both significantly leveled up since the book dropped but I think now more than ever, the story still resonates today.

all they gotta do is port Ultimate to Switch 2, add a few more DLC fighters, and give it a proper Subspace Emissary style story mode and I’m golden
I agree with a lot of the Nintendo 2026 predictions that we will see Super Smash Bros. in some form on Switch 2 sooner rather than later.
Whether Sakurai is involved or not, I don't see Nintendo retiring a series in which the last released game is close to 40m units sold.

I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.

Okay, so we’re getting a new one, right? As well as a remaster of Tactics Advance, right? Please? 👀
Original Final Fantasy Tactics Director Yasumi Matsuno says he underestimated how popular Ivalice Chronicles would be.
He originally predicted it would sell between 800k-1m copies in 3 years. It achieved this in 3 months.
