I'll be bringing some of my HDK and Library of the Occult releases on cassette and CD, if you're interested in some *very* limited edition stories and soundtracks
I do have some on vinyl too, but I probably wont bring them (unless anyone *really* wants me too).

I spent a few years with housing as my main or second beat as a reporter and that is absolutely not why housing is expensive. Not even remotely why.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I wouldn't have made comics if I hadn't shown the first four pages I'd ever drawn in a portfolio review at the first Thought Bubble I ever attended. Just that little nudge helped. Just life-changing. And I know a lot of us would say the same.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.
