Getting up and leading with compassion is damn hard.
Not doing that gets us to yesterday.
So I choose to face the world with compassion, in the service of love, harmony, beauty, justice, and mercy.

Because I got a few shoutouts and need to burn some time before I head out for a blood draw; I'm just gonna post some pieces I've enjoyed collaging over the past year or so.
I'm still really proud of this Slackgaff-by-the-Sea map I did for a short Frontier Scum game/project. Plus some tests.

In an ideal world I can commission my artist friends to add a goblin of their own to this game
I think I know what I'll do for Zine Quest.
It's called GOBZ.
It will all be hand drawn and feature my very bad goblin art and be super serious.
