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.

Side track:

Hobbied in apps, got tired of dev in day job and at home.

Family vote bans scary Halloween decorations.

4yo gets hooked watching Luigi’s mansion, Super Mario World.

Jig-sawed plywood boos as a non-scary replacement.

Trick or treaters asked if I sold on Etsy.

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.

Wait … I worry what you heard was, 'Give me a lot of Metroid jokes. ' What I said was, give me all the Metroid jokes on here.

Reminds me of an adult version of that polar express kid.

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

Finished Friday! Not often I get to do a full scene. This wound up pretty fun.
November 14, 2025 at 12:28 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.

Just an unprecedented 15 year run for that studio. Those last 4 back to back to back to back is crazy.

This piece comes from an original illustration I made back in 2012 for one of my mobile apps. I did a pixelated version last year as a sticker, but it was too high-res and impractical to cut into wood. I cut back the resolution to something more reasonable.

Finished Friday this week is my first original piece!

It’s not from any game or adaptation, it’s my own design. I tried a version of this out as stickers last year and decided to give it a go in wood.

I have an Nj section in my office wall. I come up and do the Collingswood street art/craft fair every August.

WIP Monday. This shape may need a trigger warning for some of you.
