Happy Halloween (older illustration of everyone, orange and purple festivities)! #tnstaj #ocart
Digital illustration of three comic characters dressed up for Halloween with jack-o-lanterns at their feet. Jason is dressed up as a dog with a collar, tail, and ears, Day is dressed up as a film noire heroine with a long trench coat, and Dim is dressed up as a 50's style candy shop owner with a large glass bowl of lollipops.

The Animal Crossing bat parade from my new leaf years is long. LOOK AT THE STUPID ONIGIRI ONE. I love it.
Animal Crossing style bat villager designs in watercolour, ink, and graphite. The first is a secretary with round glasses and a tuft of hair, the second is a crescent moon themed bat with a walrus nose, the third is a jock bat with a sports racing strip on its head, the fourth is a panda bat, and the fifth is a bat with an onigiri inspired head.

More Animal Crossing bats! Fruit bats (get it get it get it)~ Yes, onion is a fruit, don't question it.
A watercolour, ink, and pencil illustration of bats in the style of Animal Crossing animals. Their oversized heads are reminiscent of fruits. The first is a red cherry, the second a blueberry, the third a pink strawberry, the fourth a green melon, fifth a peeled dragonfruit, and the last is an onion, perhaps the sweetest of all fruits, right?

My brother found our ancient Sims Complete Collection CDs! BOY, getting lutris up and installing this bugger like right now.
Photo of a desk with a box of the original Sims Complete Collection on it. Aged well, just a little scuffing on the plastic cover.

My old Animal Crossing bats idea. You cannot even fathom how 10000% certain I was that they'd be included in the next AC game ;m;
Cartoony bats in watercolour, ink and pencil in the style of Animal Crossing. The first is themed like a candy corn, the second is a traditional sleepy looking bat, the third is a fancy bat with lipstick, and the fourth is a nurse.

Day and the memory cat lurking (memory cat is quite large here, haha, that's like 64gb of ram). #tnstaj #ocsky #ocart
Digital illustration of a cartoony woman with her arms crossed standing close to a row of windows at the face of a building. A large awning is casting a shadow over her head and shoulders, leaving her legs exposed to sunlight. Behind her is a towering, fluffy columnar potted bush that extends out of the top of the illustration. At its base, a black cat sits coyly looking in the woman's direction.

A very lucky Jason for Friday ✦ #tnstaj #ocart
Digital illustration of a cartoon man dressed casually with an electrostatic ribbon loosely zig-zagging around him. His eyes are closed, he's smiling, and half-covering his face with one of his hands while holding a laptop in the other. There's a rabbit's foot keychain attached to the zipper of his jacket. The word lucky can be seen next to his head.

Five! #tnstaj #ocsky #illustration
Digital illustration of a nervous man with glasses and an ID on a lanyard in a technology lab on campus at night. A crescent moon can be seen outside the windows behind him and a row of pc monitors display varying representations of the number five.

Please use an alternate line to place your call now ✦ #tnstaj #ocsky
Digital illustration of a cartoony man with spiky hair and glowing eyes bearing a toothy grin leaping against a cityscape with a lanline corded telephone gripped over his head. The receiver is in his hands while the cord loops around behind him, connected to the base below. A large telephone pole with electrostatic jets behind him suggests he probably manifest from its wires. For fun.

Last year's mobile wallpaper with Dim and Jason from pateon. He got a lot of birthday art last year, haha^^" #tnstaj #ocsky
Digital illustration featuring two of the main characters from the comic There's No Such Thing as Jason I.T. Jason on the lower left is looking rather dazed at Dim who's coming in closely from the right with a balloon held above both of their heads. The thin string of the balloon is wrapped multiple times around Jason's neck which it would appear is where Dim, with his open mouth, is heading... !

Aaaand there ya go, no place like gnome. The exciting, breakneck speed of deletion and reformatting truly gets the blood pumping. Not for everyone, I know.
Photo of a PC monitor atop a desk with dorky RGB mechanical keyboards below it displaying the disk formatting options menu for a new volume on a Linux distro (bazzite). Too exciting!

Today, we wipe Windows from the white rhino. Jason's gonna be full Linux now (... I think he's distantly unix dependant in the comic though) X]
Photo of a quite boxy desktop PC case with cheesy RGB lighting from the case fans and a transparent acrylic side panel. It is a baby, sweet and cheerful.

Comic roughs, all wrapped in their guidelines. I like to keep it there until the page's finished so it's like peeling the protective film from a new toy. #comic #wip
Photo of a drawing tablet displaying a comic wip. There are gridded guidelines present to keep the panels aligned and balanced within the working area.

It's not the coursework, it's the crowd. Special guest: Cute Ghosts singing coffin songs. #tnstaj #sketch
Photo of a sketchbook page with ink and pencil sketches of three intertwined ghosts against the silhouette of a coffin, a fancy goldfish with flowing fins, and a cartoon man squatting beside a large stack of textbooks. He's quite annoyed looking, probably because his laptop to the left is acting up as its display shows an upside down v against a power symbol.

Last year's mobile wallpaper reward, melty halo Jason. His birthday's the 1st of September so he always gets a lil feature for the month. #tnstaj
Digital illustration of a cartoony man holding up a white mobile in his left hand while lightning a melting halo of birthday candles with is right. He has a fangy grin with a lollipop in his mouth and the silhouettes of three birds in flight on his shirt. Behind him is a tangle of wires and antennae. Close-up of previous photo revealing small electrostatic sparks emitting from the candle flames and a static spark from the camera lens of his mobile.

Pencil warmup before getting to work with the lil i.t. trio. Guess they're caught in the RAM cat orbit (memory's fun like that, right?) #tnstaj #sketch
Photo of a pencil sketch featuring the 3 main characters of my comic floating in a circle together. In the middle is a black cat jumping toward the character on the bottom right who's wearing headphones. Top right is a part of the logo: I.t.
