If you like beer in Lincoln, Nebraska, this is your time! I’ll be at a market hosted by Code Beer Co. on Saturday, and friends will also be at a market at White Elm Brewing that runs until 7 pm. Honestly, the best way to get holiday presents - shop local, grab a beer, get cool art. 🍻

My last art market of the year is this Saturday, so I’ve been signing and packaging prints. Here are a few of my favorites, of my newest edits!

Internally and externally screaming. Good gourd, October is not off to a good start.

Witnessed a magical event at the library just now: a child’s excitement at receiving their own library card! 🥹

(Also magical: finding one of @robhollywood.bsky.social’s book recommendations from his Nerdlandia podcast ep!)

I like to tell my cat “awww, he’s full of love!” when he gives me boops and leg rubs, but it always eventually leads to him informing me that he may be full of love, but he is not full of food.

Tfw you walk by some middle school students after voting and go “🤘civic duty🤘” and they say “hell yea.” I might be a cool adult today.

I should know better that when I go to the library, even just to return books, I’m going to leave with a stack. 🥰📚

When I reached out to Joe Loder in January, I didn’t know where this story would go. My thoughts were more like: “Fight Camp, huh? Sounds neat!”

Then I met the people, who were welcoming, passionate and authentic. And knew the story was more than “swords are cool.” (Though that’s still very true.)
New at FFP: Once a week, a small group of history enthusiasts gather at a gymnasium in Lincoln. They’re not there to reminisce or debate – they’re there to do battle. Read more 🔗 buff.ly/pPP3m3z

Finished edits on an article + images that have been in the works since January!

Can you guess what it’s about? ⚔️

My cat has an uncanny knowledge of when I’m on a deadline and frequently chooses those exact times to run around screaming and opening all the cabinet doors.

Earlier this week, I got to meet two candidates for the local school board, three city council members running for reelection and a candidate gathering signatures for her petition to run for the airport board. And I’m so excited to support them.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

In some good news, I started a part-time job at a bookshop this week. Already met a couple regulars, and each one of them is delightful. 📚

Yuri wanted to be part of Galentine’s, too! I joined @lionheartcanyon.bsky.social’s galentine’s gift swap for a second time this year. This wrapping is so beautiful! And so is connecting with fellow creative souls across the US.

My cat begs loudly and relentlessly for a bite of whatever I’m eating. Because it *might* be tuna.

So I’ve presented to him
A gloop of sriracha
A banana
Kimchi
Lettuce

And he always looks so offended after getting a whiff, like he didn’t already know it wasn’t his favorite fishy.

I was thinking of regifting this swag from my last job, but oops, I guess it’s Yuri’s now.

Tfw you go to a business networking event and realize you forgot your new business cards. The business cards that you got super excited about because they’re a little silly but also actually have updated information.

So you hand out old business cards that look like sadness.

I tried to do inktober way back when and…only manager to do one drawing. Kinda happy with it, though. It’s a little unhinged.

I try not to kill spiders if I can, but I’m probably more known for running out of the room if I see one.

Last weekend, I finally got myself together and put up five new images at Saro Cider, one of my favorite haunts in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I also updated my webpage about the show and toned the copy down so it’s not completely unhinged, yay, go me.

To get the important things out of the way:

This is my cat, Yuri. He contains multitudes.

I feel like the solution to my problems is not making more social media accounts, yet, here I am.
