The self-promotion continues!

More self promotion time! (going to be another week of this)
November 29, 2025 at 1:51 PM
This is prime commission time as well.
November 28, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Time for my one-week annual sale!

WIP Monday. I’ve got a lull so I pulled back out some pieces meant to fill out the mini scene around the basement paint table.

I’ll tell you what I do like!

My most unpopular Eagles opinion is that I don’t like the retro uniforms/logo. I love the older Phillies baby blue/maroon, but not the kelly green.

Cartographer, hired by ed tech to make maps for new history courses.

Courses canned first week, put on science since I was geog major / bio minor.

Had sim and game ideas, no one to code them, so learned myself (in Flash).

Flash 🪦, rapid shift to HTML.

Result: UX design / front end dev combo.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

This Wal-Mart Grinch ads feel extra cynical for some reason. Does the Seuss widow/estate just say yes to anything at this point?

This entire premise is false. My kids still play with actual physical toys all the time. They have more than I did as a kid IN ADDITION to digital.

Finished Friday! Original piece #2.
November 21, 2025 at 12:21 PM
Second original piece dropping tomorrow.

I just had my first legit "Holy Shit" moment with AI coding. It's not 100% perfect, but I can read this and absolutely work with it and tweak the results. Output is significantly better than my previous refactor attempts.

I’ve seen the political topic tonight and I’m going to need all the Metroid jokes on here to scrub it from my brain.
I think Nintendo should lean all the way in on Samus getting quipped to the whole game. The nerd guy should die but the alien planet absorbs him and all the mushrooms on the planet should talk to you in his voice. They should ask Samus about her weekend plans. Make it a complete introvert nightmare.

"I hope you die" is boring, predictable

"I hope your favorite franchise adds a wacky chungus sidekick that yells gameplay hints at you" is real, terrifying, possible, and is in fact happening to me right now

Glad to not have this guy behind me and over my shoulder while I’m working at my desk anymore.

(Baymax voice) Oh no.
November 14, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Finished Friday! Not often I get to do a full scene. This wound up pretty fun.

I'm so fascinated with this GTA 6 thing, not as someone who cares or has ever played one, but at all the signs this looks like a huge disaster.
November 13, 2025 at 2:46 PM
Wait, they actually did it??

WIP Monday! This is one of the firework sprites from original Super Mario Brothers (with some glow up) being repurposed for a different use. Hopeful to fully reveal on Friday.

My favorite thing about Plur1bus is that they ditch the “mystery box” stuff. By the end of the first episode you know exactly what’s going on. Other streaming shows would drag it out for the whole first season.
