Floppy-Ear Batman, but don’t call him that. Been working on rendering and reflective lighting elevate thangs.

Seriously, I have had to fight not to go Jack Torrance. “When you hear this. That means I am working”

Finally got my Zebra brush pens in and I loooove them. More control than a brush, but doesn’t cut into the paper like a nib.

Corporate jobs, man. Hard to pass up that health insurance and guaranteed raise every year. Plus the RSUs and 401 K. All so you save up and retire with a stable full of Fathiers.

Shawn-Michael Monroe @theshawno.bsky.social · Feb 4

I’ll remind yall when it’s closer but if you’re in the Austin area at the end of April, come on down to GAB Fest. #gabfest

Just something I believe expressed in the place I can. I hope it helps those that need a pick up today

Quote from Timp and the Blueberry Vikings Book 2: Even as yer world burns, you must take heart. Use your hope, courage, and love to connect.”

If you don’t get it at three, apply again at four, then five… Eventually, you’ll win the record for the person who collected the most of their rejection letters.

It’s the people who don’t try that really fail. Congratulations on trying. I’d re-apply when you get up to three decimal places. That’s gotta be the record.

Save the date! Book 2 of Timp and the Blueberry Vikings will release on Pi day: 3.14… because of Blueberry Pie… get it? 🤪

This book finishes the main story arc but gives room to grow. (Tho it’ll be years before I finish book 3. So don’t wait on that).

I’ve added this line to legal text of my new book so everyone knows. I support art by humans. Not art stolen by computers.
