Little progress after having to deal with the postage PO visit part of the job.
I like where the warrior character went!

some day i will have a modest but nice space to call my work space. Where the tape, scissors, pens, paper, and actual drawing surface doesn't change depending on if the dinner table or living room is occupied. where toys won't be all over the floor. where zines and packing supplies together-someday

hypothetical near-future convo with wife:

"don't you dare buy that batch of transformers & jedi knight & GI joe toys!"
"but it's for work. i like having something 3d to draw from, to pose, angles...you know"

"and that plastic monster thing?"
"same"

"and that star ship"
"same"

"🙄"
"write off🤷"

More trying to push myself with drawing. Robots, tech etc definitely a weak spot for me

my IG feed has several accounts (not followed, just fed) that are dedicated to showing vintage anime / animation - damn, there were some awesome wicked looking cartoons in the 80/90s!
so much grit, awesome drawing, and dynamics

quite enjoying Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!
Discovery was a fun one, but NWs hits a tone I prefer more....perhaps a little less campy?
I could never get into the older trek series, but i may be coming around to giving them another try

Worth saying: surprisingly few book covers actually reflect specifics from the book. It’s a tribute to Joe’s art and the HoZ briefing team that these covers are so striking and also every little detail relates to the book’s contents.
The covers for @aptshadow.bsky.social 's Tyrant Philosophers series are maybe the best in the business right now.

Joe Wilson is incredible at having these detailed, eye catching and very distinctive designs that whet your appetite for what is inside.

Was honored last night to attend First Friday at the Waldron Arts Center as part of their "Play" exhibit highlighting local game designers!
Was fortunate to share the space with @wehrlegig.games & Essence London whose first big board game was on display!
