Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Vin, and I draw whimsical stylized characters, flora, and fauna with a rainbow flair. I'm interested in hearing about streaming projects and illustration opportunities!

Yeah, it's pretty nice!! And yeah, likewise! Another potential ramen option is Mensho Tokyo, though the broth is the opposite consistency as it's super creamy and rich -- I used to do its spicy lamb ramen all the time though aha. But yeah, tons of options around

This is a solid pick and that reminds me of Pancho Villa Taqueria which I haven't been had in a hot minute, but it's also p good!

I second San Tung BTW, I knew I forgot something off the top of my head 😹 That dried chicken is just delectable man. And yeah, San Tung 2 (which might have been temporarily closed earlier this year when I went to the main location?) has all of the "main" offerings but it's a streamlined menu

I tend to spam Muracci’s and Hinodeya a bit too often 😹 but they’re usually my go-tos, and Pearl’s Deluxe Burgers and ZZAN are also solid — there are many options of course haha

Do it. You don't have to be good at art for your art to have more value than any of the shit churned out by machines meant to pacify an audience. You don't have to do something marketable or funny, or that goes viral. Just fucking draw because you want to, and then keep the drawing to look back on.

i think more people should draw

even if you think your art sucks

even if you dont know what youre doing

even if you have friends you envy

even if you only have pencils and paper

even if you dont draw regularly

even if you dont wanna call yourself an artist

just have fun and doodle

One of the reasons I have black cats is because they always look so good in my studio chaos

Kizuki Ramen finally opened in San Francisco, so I gave it a go and it’s as nice as I remember

I think @pizzadinosaur.fineti.me had the best read on this during this week's @fineti.me when he said Xbox has "Dreamcast'd themselves"

Meaning; it doesn't matter what they do anymore. Even if their next move is somehow awesome, they are being crushed by years of bad decisions and failures

Daniel Ahmad @zhugeex.com · 6d

I don't think Xbox reverses this fwiw.

Almost done with this fantasy woodland apothecary. I'm trying to decide what type of creatures frequent it....

I kinda want to do fancy bugs and insects?

Er uh sorry, the 2008 *Rambo game lol

Vin L. 🎨🌈🌸 @lucentai.bsky.social · 7d

I don't think I remember a "really good one," but the Demolition Man pinball table was OK. But I think I remember the flipper handle design more than anything, lol. I also got a kick out of 2008 Sega arcade light gun game as it was pretty silly IIRC
