I don't know, Iron Man. I just don't know.

Everybody has a breakfast they think about for the rest of their life. It comes to the mind unbidden in the quiet moments like a brief and bittersweet affair.

I hope you're doing well, butter chicken chicken and waffles.

the trick BIG TYPEFACE doesn't want you to know!

Create your own ORIGINAL FONTS by simply layering two (OR MORE??) others and messing about with drop shadows!

Marvel Rivals inspired me to start reading old comics and I was really not prepared for how depressed The Thing was and how little everyone else seems to notice or care. He's pretty much just Karl Havoc for the first 20 issues.

Fantastic cover design for this series of anarchist zines I found on archive.org. Simple is supreme!

Quite pleased with how this spread's turning out.

When the font foundry's website looks like this, I know I can't afford it.

Now that the backers have received their copies and the physical book is on sale I'm really looking forward to reviewers getting their hands on Snake Wolf 3. It is by far my weirdest and most ambitious work to date.

With emphasis on "to date."

I am open for commissions.

I have found an excellent way to store zines. My journal refills (Nanami Paper "Seven Seas Writer") comes shipped in a cute little cardboard sleeve that just so happens to hold 4-5 a5 zines. Fits perfectly on my bookshelf.

Now I just need a dozen or so more refills...

"A monster saved for the champions of the arena. It breathes noxious fumes from the engine humming inside that act as pre-digestion—those breathing it erupt into lesions, which the Carcinophage devours."

"You worship thunder, the power of storms echoing within you. You are a spectacle in your own right, voice booming with thunder, laughter cackling with lightning."

And for anyone reading this who may be a hobbyist and worried that their work simply cannot stand to be judged against the "Big Names" in our industry, I present this picture from 5E's "Exclusive Box Set" DM screen.

The difference between you and them is passion and skill, and you're ahead.

Amazon owning GoodReads is awesome, actually

Also, having you fight neo-nazis by the third mission is a bold choice for 1997
