Random conversation reminded me of an old BLUE DEVIL issue where a bunch of billionaire techbros steal one of the Trickster's shoes so they can use his levitation tech to essentially make a Libertarian island paradise in the sky, but it floats off into space because they only stole the "Up" shoe.

If I was in charge hard hitting dark DND style rpg, I would want it in this style. And it would be amazing.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

love this.
Oof I don't think it's feasible for me to make calendars this year, considering I can't really send stuff to the US or EU at the moment - anyway this was from February 2024

I would be remiss not to post what I can only imagine was a proof of concept. Cutscenes from the ps1 game.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I am open and looking for work again! I’ve worked on projects for Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, Draco Gaming, Mondo, and more. I do full color illustrations and concept art, and I specialize in creatures.

I watched Ride the X Train the other day. I liked aspects of it. I mean I got the concept and the execution was pretty good. Probably won't watch it again though. 80s in Japan was a moment in time for animation though. Not sure we'll ever get to a point where stuff like that is fiesable again.

I've discounted all my calendars, even if January is basically over you can still use the calendar page as a postcard and have 11 other months to use the rest of it

Also I put a bunch of new painted wood banners up if you missed the chance last month

This is a huge crisis that we must do our part on by rejecting generative AI. The more it infiltrates our systems, the more fucked we are over time.
NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.

Evyn is amazing. If you're looking for some original mtg art, this would be a nice one.
Hello!! To kick off the Lorwyn release, I'll be doing a blind auction for this process sketch for Dawnhand Eulogist. This is a sketch I did for the final painting to scan and paint over, touched up to make it look nice : ) It is graphite on masonite board.
