One of my favorite things about working in a bookstore is that I get paid to share my opinion about @chuckwendig.bsky.social books.

WIP: not sure how you spent your snow day, but I spent mine watching the Maclunkey Cut of the Original Trilogy and painting the mural for my latest jacket project. This was as far as I got over the course of three films.

I am really not posting enough art here so have a few sketches I did in a tiny sketchbook because I forgot my big one, starring: a robot character I’m writing, a girl with messy hair, and Karen Joshua from Gundam: The 08th MS Team

No thank you, Sportball. I’ve already seen this year’s Superb Owl. #superbowl #skeletoncrew

Twitter is not only evil, it sucks. Get the hell off it, friends.
If there's any better signed that Twitter is cooked: for over a decade, Twitter was the biggest traffic driver to Southern Fried Science after search engines.

So far, in 2025, Twitter ranks below sheetmusicplus.com for referrals. Bluesky is #3 behind search and The Facebook.

I don’t know what it is about the big-visor, flat-face robots like the GMs or Patlabors or Valkyries. They’ve got these dull, featureless visor faces and I’m still like “aww, friend”

I dunno, man. Sometimes I wonder if we get so caught up in what Star Wars should be- space fantasy, sociopolitical commentary, nostalgia, anti-nostalgia, whatever- that we forget that it can also be a source of truly incredible joy.

Thank you for reminding us, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. 🧡

If the world is made out of us, all our shadows suggest the sun
Every desert heart that wants the flood, come bring your need, there is love enough.

Anyway, this was my favorite sketch I did in 2024.

Maybe this is just a dream, and maybe we’re still asleep
But I, I will miss you when I’m gone.

Am I starting 2025 with the last sketch I did in 2024? You betcha!

So. 2024.

Drew some stuff. Made some stuff.

Met some cool folks, went some cool places.

Got a tattoo. Learned that I really, REALLY enjoy live music. Pushed myself too hard and learned to set boundaries.

So what did I do in 2024? A lot of stuff I should have done a long time ago.

Gonna try and be more active here by going through my backlog of sketches from the last year in an attempt to play catch-up, since the other platforms are pretty uniformly garbage. Anyway here’s a skeleton with a fruity drink for #sketchbooksunday

Digging up my Bluesky to make some noise about the Mega Man episode of Secret Level. It’s absolutely brilliant, manages to get to the heart of why I love the character, and it’s only five minutes long and I’m furious about that

Trying out a new platform ‘cuz everything else is being choked to death by insane billionaires, robot algorithms, or both, and I feel like it’s only a matter of time until the other shoe drops

But then again, as a hero of Transformers once said, “You want anything to last forever? In this economy?”
