Reskeet with a time you looked cool.
I mean, I still look cool most of the time. But in 2009 I was wearing that Scott Radke necklace a LOT (now it just hangs on the wall in the hallway ;)

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Does your D&D party find a flock of common birds in the grassy field?
Or do they discover something far more PRIMAL?

Snags wander off the trails, eventually settling into a permanent spot to grow old and loamy. When they're not sleeping they tend to the moss and clover, and provide safe haven for the tiniest beasts of the woods.

I listened to a lot of old YouTube interviews with some favorite illustrators this weekend. Got me thinking about sharing more things from the sketchbook and whatnot.
What's your favorite illustrator-interview podcast or channel? Always lookin' for more.

One of the great things I found to listen to this weekend was this interview with four of my favorite illustrators. As I get closer to finishing my own book, I found this one super fun and inspiring π
