Ordered custom shirts for my new game, starring my art. The game is called BANK. Hamstapus is just me. I do all the design, code, art, music, etc. (Great how fast, cheap, and easy it is to get custom shirts now.)

If Wizard of Oz were written today, there might be a man behind the man behind the man behind the curtain. The 1st man is an llm, the 2nd a tech trillionaire, and the 3rd ketamine.

CLAMULA. A doodle while I was bored at a biz meeting years ago. Might put it in my game. Boss or grunt?
Trick question. It’s an ancient.
2nd pic is the full doodle. Doodling helps me remember and stay focused, even if it has nothing to do with the meeting (it didn’t).

I feel like I’m playing one of those Bomberman games where when you die you still get to travel the edge of the field and throw bombs into the maze. But instead of bombs I’m throwing encouragement.

Frankenstein. Amazing. Truly great work from del Toro and team. Also great reminder of the GENIUS of Mary Shelley. So far ahead of her time. The film takes liberties, but in the concept space she created.

This dumb joke came to me and I was compelled since the original Enterprise was one of the 1st things I made in 3D (mid 80's). I googled Star Truck and nothing close came up. So here you go (w/music by me).
