From Echo Park Tenants Union, 10 people taken today in Echo Park/Silver Lake. Some were gardners, painters, and workers. All of them my neighbors.

My literal face when Drag Race had a Kpop themed challenge and then Ru revealed the music themes were Disco, 80’s Pop, and Punk Rock.

I looooveeee Beam Paints and their sets make it so easy to paint on the go. Some of the best pigments I’ve ever used, especially for travel sets.
A reminder to any canadian (or any) #watercolor artists. Beam Paints is an Indigenous owned company with beautiful plastic-free hues. Their sparkly metallics are to die for

I spent New Years in Brooklyn with my sister, and finally got to meet her Leopard Gecko, March, and I am obsessed with this odd creature.

I was determined to finish something from my pile of WIPs before 2026, and decided on an ode to one of my favorite horror movies of 2025.
If you have the stomach for it, I can't recommend "The Ugly Stepsister" more highly.

This will probably be my only game awards post but I wasn’t paying full attention during this Resident Evil trailer and I thought it was about reviving Elvis as a zombie.

Remember when I got really into pro-wrestling? Now I can say why!
So SO excited for the release of the latest comic I got to write for Overwatch 2. "A New Empire" is the origin story for Vendetta, the game's new baddie.

I had a BLAST talking about my video game nostalgia on DIE OR PASS LEVEL!!
(I promise it’s not all Sonic! It’s a lot of Sonic! But I also talk about Pokemon, Paperboy 64, and Psychonauts!!)

I'm co-host a video game-nostalgia podcast called DIE OR PASS LEVEL that I'm terrible at promoting, but this week's ep is my favorite. I get a real education in Sonic lore??

This week on Dragula felt like I was watching the Boulet Brothers having to parent all of their horrid children.
“you are NOT the favorite we don’t play favorites.” “I’m disappointed because I know you’re better than this.” “I know that’s a lie .” “Holy shit we have to go to the ER he ate rocks”
