Be a pioneer of joy.

You can fight over the scraps of a developed market, or create a new one. The second isn't easier than the first -- it strikes me as much, much harder -- but the rewards can be so much greater.

I think of it as discovering new ways to bring joy to more people.

The cover of Wither & Grow, a solo journaling game by Junk Food Games. Dark green ink on light green paper. The title is all lower-case whimsical serif font with an elaborate ampersand. The central image is a hulking being made of shaggy plants. Its face is partially covered by vines, flowers bloom from its back, and its willowy arms drag on the ground

The Cyborg, a new monoprint illustration for Ephemeris

#printmaking

The Cyborg – a monoprint illustration of a cyborg, much of their flesh replaced with steel and synthetic sinew. They wear an inscrutable expression – pained, curious, full of questions.
