This year, I've got one enemy: my backlog. I've picked one waylaid title to progress through each month.
If I'm gonna conquer a foe that big? I'm gonna need backup. There's where YOU come in. Let's lay waste to our logs together.
Who wants in? 🤝

This year? My sole resolution is to resurrect the boy who believed in a world made better by your true self’s presence within it.

Whether you reached every resolution or simply survived, take pride in what the path taught you this year. 2024 spared few of us – it takes reckless doses of resilience and courage alike to stay standing.
Be proud of your past self: and may 2025 be kinder to the future you 🫶

Thought I'd share some interior art from the two Little Golden Books I illustrated. I am so chuffed to see the books being promoted so much especially since this is a musical that is so near and dear to my heart 💚🩷

Four indie games I'm thankful for this season 🙏✨
In a world of life-changing AAA projects, gratitude for the industry's "little guys" is all the more important. Which indies are YOU grateful for this Thanksgiving?
