Tried to find a "real" job/degree path for my quasi-mandatory BA. Managed to get an AA in art by accident. Went to art school. Came back. Worked at a library for years to pay bills (& because libraries are cool!) Dodged pressure to get a library degree. Burnt out at library due to a lot of factors.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Putting my hand right back on the stove, let's do another monthly art challenge. This month it's #Crowvember, I'm going to assemble a murder of crows one drawing at a time. Here's our first guy, a dashing and handsome fella!

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there
I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

This year's Halloween stickers are headstones in a soft mossy grey, or a poppy pink! You can get them at my redbubble! The pink ones might look extra cool with holographic option!

The ttrpg I did cover art for is already well on its way to being a Real Book (with more art by me!) but there's so many cool folks lined up in the stretch goals to write playsets so do take a look if this sounds like your jam!
"Eat God" is live on Kickstarter:

Be a blue-furred social justice advocate with detachable limbs, a many-eyed horror with strong opinions about metaphysics, or a jet-powered telepathic crab and stick it to the Man though the power of gratuitous cartoon violence.
