Finally got my finished Blood Angels magnetized for transport. As much as I love foam cases, model poses are increasingly dynamic, and it’s harder and harder to fit them in standardized spaces, and custom-cut foam gets expensive fast.

When I was a kid, I had a crappy little keyboard synthesizer, and I remember banging the keys and being so impressed that my random monkey clicking almost sounded like music, despite being nowhere close.

Had an early Kthxgiving (our friends-only Thanksgiving gathering), with delicious food courtesy of @ninjamonkey.bsky.social, some gaming thanks to @winterdeepelegy.bsky.social, and the company of @slacker-rb.bsky.social and @hidaman.bsky.social too. A good evening with good friends.

I picked up a little book of sudoku puzzles from our local Daiso (yes, we have one in the Midwest US), and it’s been great to do one or two in the morning or evening. It’s good for my brain, and it gets me off my phone for 30 minutes to an hour.

Del Toro’s Frankenstein is the Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster of movies - like being hit in the head with a delicate piece of lemon wrapped around a gold brick.
Beautiful to look at, sweet and sour, and no subtlety at all. And sadly, the last part is its greatest weakness.

The sink wasn’t draining while washing dishes, so I had to disassemble our kitchen sink drain so I could snake out a clog (made from bean soup, no less). A half-hour later, I stood victorious.
Hey, I’ll take the win of Not Having To Call a Plumber any day.

These were fun to paint, and it’s yet more incentive to learn Kill Team!
GW gave Rob a chance to paint up the new XV26 Stealth Suits from the Dead Silence box. He’s always liked stealth suits, and the new ones are only very slightly up-scaled while being much more varied.

Did I show you guys the poster I made for The Ty-We Collectors charity Expo? This was a free print for the first 100 attendees at the door. I signed several of these for people and it was fun to see new faces.
@nockergeek.bsky.social even collaborated a bit!

I’ve mentioned before that my kids and I like to make art based on our silly fandom speculation. Here’s one from a few years back. Pokemon + Homestar Runner universe.

Imagine it, some time in the future. Explaining to kids that people needed jobs to live. To have essential services. To be housed. And when they ask why we'll have to tell them that once upon a time we thought people were worthless. That if they didn't at least serve coffee they should die.
I want to live in a world where we don't celebrate people getting jobs. Where living doesn't require employment.
