Oh hey! Look who's gonna be set up at @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social next week! It's me!
It's my hometown show so that means I can bring original art and stuff to do commissions!

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Ugh… ios26 isn’t great… really glad I didn’t install it on my work laptop. It’s also not great on AppleTV, my iPhone or older Macbook…

Hey~ it’s that time of year again! For this year’s October art challenge, I’m going to use yōkai themed prompts created by NijuraArts.
Day 1 is Rokurokubi, a classic yōkai with an elongated neck, but I did it with a mid-century housewife spin 👻

I think what's really triggering people on Disney w/ Kimmel is that Disney always wants to be perceived as the "Good Guy." Like Walt is hiding in a secret bunker under Small World still in charge and that choice was obviously something that Walt Disney would have ever done... it was a Bad Guy choice

day two of the HANS VOGEL IS DEAD 10TH ANNIVERSARY guest art! Today's art is from @rukixstalker.bsky.social and the look on Reineke's face made my entire year. Thanks Rukix!!

Hans Vogel is Dead 10th Anniversary Guest Art from Rukix, where Rukix gives Hans a blanket and cocoa (but NO schnapps!) and Reineke an ice cream cake. Hans looks pathetic and Reineke looks adorable, 10/10. Thanks Rukix!
