I'm thinking on producing a poem hidden on jenga pieces that is freely written as players take the pieces out of the tower. Maybe the poem is the remaining words in the tower. You subtract words the way sculptors subtract mass to reveal the statue inside the rock.

More cyberpunk stuff should print out pixel dithering on books and comics. It's simply beautiful.

I've tried to draw this kettle using as few charcoal strokes as possible. There's still a lot to improve, but it was a nice study.

My plan for next few years is:
1. Get my Masters degree
2. Become a design professor
3. Buy a jailbroken PS3
4. Play old games and draw for years to come
Bonus: start a doctorate maybe?

Stuff went wrong these last days. My computer broke the day I would finish a brand manual and have a meeting with a great client (super sorry @manarampmatt.bsky.social 🥲) ...
But at least my father is back home from ICU and I had some time to draw.

I found my notes on my "moth child empress dream eating" Bitsy game from a couple of years ago, so I decided to finish the script and started sketching rooms.

Paul Pope's Batman Yeah 100 was the comic that changed my taste forever. Before it I was the usual Alex Ross-photorealism-normie-fan boy. After year 100 I was forever disabled to have normal talk with friends regarding comics. I was officially an "oh... that guy" weirdo.

This was a especially difficult week for me. My dad has been hospitalized in an ICU since Monday. A simple surgery that became a not-so-simple one and maybe become another one tomorrow.
Ironically, today is my birthday.

Lately I've been more and more interested in the dreamlike feeling that arise from absolutely mundane moments in life. That second time seems to stop and you think "this shouldn't be real life". Everyday surrealisms on the small things.

I want to see art with this exact energy on RPGs and analog games. These screaming silences, these nightmarish tensions.

After playing Bridge for some days in a row I'll never again say TTRPGs has a high learning curve for beginners. This card game never stops to get more and more complex. To the point I think it would be easier to find 3 other adults to play a completely new rpg they have no interest in.

I'm learning to play Bridge. It's a great card game with a somewhat complicated bidding and pointing system. However It's most difficult rule is to find three other friends to play it with you tho.

After two months drawing a lot I came to some perceptions:
Objects are easier than nature elements. Nature elements are easier than animals. Animals are easier than human bodies. Human bodies are easier than human faces.
Unfortunately I'm studying human faces rn.
