Sometimes I really love those heavily simplified Lego sets they have out there. Check out Santa on this thing. Look what a demented little goblin he is.

Of course give credit where it's due but please know it isn't arrogant to own your accomplishments.
I get so tired of listening to artists and authors wave away their hard work and success. If we want to be taken seriously we have to take ourselves seriously.

Just got my test roll of #DoctorBaer wrapping paper, and it looks pretty good. If you have the means to give gifts in the coming months, you can wrap them with characters from The Case of the Two-Faced Statue: www.etsy.com/listing/4398...

Reminder to everyone hiring an artist: If you need vector files delivered, that needs to be established up-front, before work starts. I cannot give you vector files because I do not work with vectors.

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

Even my father, who is COMPLETELY out of touch with the video game world, asked me about this game last night because he'd seen clips of it online and thought it was a TV show at first.
I told him it was great.

I'm surprised more people don't know about the HUGE resurgence in point & clickers; I have a ton of unplayed ones in my library. And side scrolling beat em ups have had some GREAT releases the last few years.
If people wanna recommend new Street Fighter style fighting games to me I'll take em tho!

Been seeing an interesting thing on social media with both fighting games and adventure games, where people who haven’t played them since the 90s will say “I wish they still made X genre” or “there aren’t any indie games in X genre”, when they’re more active than they’ve ever been

I've never made chili exactly the same way twice, it is one of the most "vibes" based meals ever and it's always good.
All our dads had it right making chili. It’s super easy, hard to mess up, you can do a million different variations of it, turn leftovers into other meals, you can call it your “famous chili” even if you just made normal chili. Incredible invention, the food of myths and legends.

Anyone who says “money doesn’t solve all your problems” has never been poor enough. Sure if you’re rich you still have all the problems that come with being human, but all the problems caused by poverty disappear.

Chores, little bits here and there. I'm kind of a slob though. Working out: no. Relaxing: I do that instead of working out. Sleep: I get about five to six hours a night. I do ok.
I've always wondered how other artists work day jobs then draw.
When do chores get done? When do you work out? When do you sleep? When do you relax?
Having a partner who does chores too makes a world of difference for me.

Nothing like sitting on the couch and having your cat come up all on his own for lap time. Just a cozy way to start the day.
