I have come to terms with the Thing I Hate not being made for me, and have moved on to two splendid pastimes: enjoying Other Things with my time, and being happy that other people enjoy Their Thing.

Avengers Endgame. Specfically when Captain America caught Mjölnir. The whole theater was cheering and clapping and just freaking out. Also when Falcon went "On your left" cheering got so loud you couldn't hear the movie for a bit.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

Day 9: Coconut Chai.
Having already done one chai-themed witch, I didn't want to repeat myself, so I went in a different direction. A pinch of 1890s fashion, a pinch of ingredient-as-pattern, sprinkle some ingredient-as-colour-scheme on top.

Day 10: Kenya
As I've said before, single-origin teas are trickier to design for since there are fewer things in the, uh "brief" to work from. So with this one, I decided to look to Kenya's unofficial national bird - the lilac-breasted roller - for design inspiration

I'll try to answer if y'all got questions
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Does your character go by anything other than their name?
Do they have a nickname, a pseudonym, or a title people use for them? Or earn one over the course of the story?
Do they like it, or prefer their name?

If the last 15 years of the tightening chokeholds on society and culture from the tech sector and the American conservative animus have taught us anything, it’s that it’s healthy to be extremely skeptical of anyone calling the humanities “low utility” or similar
