I gave the IFPA my view of the trans-exclusionary OBX pinball tournament. I reject the notion that it's the responsibility of trans people to compromise with transphobia, and also reject that it's just a "women's issue".

Their gritty, industrial sound is meant to evoke the unsettling discomfort of contemplating "when & where might I get tragically injured in the upcoming year?" during open enrollment season.

Proud to share the full Big Trouble in Little China pinball playfield I drew the artwork for. I think this is the eighth playfield I've designed. The game was designed by Kyle Smet and debuted at Expo

A little boy ran through the door of the museum yesterday with their mother chasing after them. She apologetically said they were walking by, he saw the games and just bolted in. She added on “He’s autistic”. I smiled, assured her it was fine and said “This is pinball. We’re familiar with Autism”.
