The world is full of horror. Have a comfy fluffy kitty.

Drip-feeding from my photo-dump organization: First up. THESE CUTIES. My little gutter gremlins a day or so after scooping them off the street. #cats #kittens

There is a sea snail that lives off of volcanic vents, and grows a shell made of iron.

Before I deleted Facebook and Instagram, I downloaded all my pictures. Now that the accounts are gone, I have to sort through all my pictures. Which means, they're going to find their way here. So you all get to see my furry children, too.

Sorry, I can't come into work, today. My cat is literally holding my hand, while she naps.

Downloading all my pics off Facebook before deleting it.

I've said this 1000 times but maybe this one will stick the landing. I gotta do a new Pokemon nuzlocke webcomic.

Another D&D character art. I think this was the first one I did on a light table I built myself. I've always loved the texture of coloring with markers. I used to have a bag full of sharpies when I drew comics in junior high.

When I was a freelancer, I tried to do DVD printing in-house by syringing ink into an outdated machine, because I figured I could offer the service for 1/20th the price.

Turns out, the expense is in errors, misprints, and time spent being wrong.

For a little bit, I was a photographer with the Dayton Bud Light Girls, and this is one of my best (surviving) shots from one of their ad campaigns.

Years later, I'm not a fan of the composition, but it was also a very on-the-run gig. I am still proud of my coloring job.

A few years ago, I wanted to make a wireframe flamingo skeleton, using only one unbroken piece of wire. The proportion math was fine, but the math for the overall size was wrong and it came out 3x bigger than anticipated. Then it got wet and became rust monster.

I really really really need to get beck into doing Pokemon nuzlocke webcomics.

It was a lot of fun and I got to experiment with weird Photoshop stuff.

This was from my first time experimenting with photography, back in highschool. I don't remember the tech details, other than it being a Nikon SLR on Kodak film.

Having shot a bunch of sports events since then - I'm impressed that this was within my first dozen shutter clicks.

Piggybacking off my mushroom photo - a mushroom guy I made for D&D.

A very cool mushroom I got to test my macro lens on. I'm glad I saw it, because it shriveled up basically the next day.

Yes, I consider Photoshop shitposting to be a valuable artistic endeavor

Some schmutz on my lens. The ND filter effectively destroyed my focus depth.

But it was still a pretty cool experience to snag a picture of the eclipse from my office parking lot.

Big fan of bugs, here. Even if they're overtly religious.
