My 40th birthday is in one week! So I'm sharing a big one that really kicked off my career:
The Fully Illustrated N. Drake Dictionary
A poster sized graphic design and comic project that took 3 months to complete. For the first time ever, I'm going to explain ALL the #Uncharted easter eggs. 👀

This took me forever to draw. It was a hard angle. I'm not good at guns. I couldn't decide which outfit versions I liked. I changed the background *multiple times*. And I can only do personal work in my free time, which is almost 0 now. But I did it.
To conclude, fuck gen A.I.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Dang. I promise you, Drawing Dungeon is one of my favorite solo #boardgames, right next to Under Falling Skies and One-Deck Dungeon. But the setup and rules overhead are nil. So easy to sit down with and be with. So enjoyable.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

The last shutdown was in Trump’s first term, from December 2018 to January 2019, when he demanded that Congress give him money for his U.S.-Mexico border wall. Trump retreated after 35 days — the longest shutdown ever — amid intensifying airport delays and missed paydays for federal workers.
