Happy 40th anniversary to the NES! In 2006 — 19 years ago now! — I wrote a small book all about the system's launch on October 18, 1985. It got my foot in the door at IGN, leading to the beginning of my game journalism career! (Its digital version is on sale at NFMagazine.com if you're curious!)

Slowed up a little but 150 finished. Bagged and sealed with love. Trying really hard to not have any repeats but it's getting tough the deeper I get into this.

Aaay look what showed up!!
Super stoked that @vgmuseum.bsky.social and @lucasmthomas.bsky.social brought me on to do, well, a ton more illustrations this time around.
It doesn't show well in my basement studio lighting, but the quality of the prints is *immaculate*. I'm over the moon.

“I THREATENED HIM.” Mario Party. Bringing families together since 1998.
@tronknotts.bsky.social please tell Lucas from Nintendo Force that his review (and stories of family togetherness) for Super Mario Party Jamboree made me so happy.

Mockup boxart! I figure it's time to start manifesting announcements we'd like to see for the Super Mario 40th anniversary that's coming up very soon. What game(s) are you hoping Nintendo reveals to mark the milestone?
