I'm honestly boggled how you kept track of them all in the first place, it's so impressive!!

I can only speak for myself, but: omigod PLEASE do not stress about remaking 'em, I love the little guys I got and they were already such a steal 🖤🖤🖤

It's not caused by strenuous use, weirdly! The doctor was just like "so it's idiopathic, but people usually recover" which was: not hugely encouraging at the time

was psyched to be on a panel at @lightboxexpo.com and thennnnnn I partially paralyzed my right vocal cord! Hoo-ray

I'm on the mend (and I now have some rad videos of my vocal cords trying their darndest to make an E sound), but it does mean holding off on public speaking for the time being 😭💔

I nabbed this little original of his a couple years back, his stuff is just so up my alley:
a Brett Allen Johnson from one of Maxwell Alexander's small art sales: pen & ink depicting a mineshaft cut into a hill.

You might also want to check out Maynard Dixon's work from the beginning of the last century, very much the same school with those broad, chunky, stylized landscapes! ♥️

Carved out some time to hit up the Brett Allen Johnson show on its last day at the Maxwell Alexander Gallery, hands down one of my favourite working artists:
“Two Worlds” Oil 50” x 100” “Glass Window” Oil 30” x 34” "The Cutoff" 28"x30" Oil

Seconding RJ, your technique always blows me away! The pieces are always so lovely in and of themselves, and it’s amazing how much you can elevate them even further as part of a whole. It looks SO so fun to do.

sometimes you gotta design and model a Linking Book-style e-reader, just for The Bit™

@gilespink.bsky.social kept insisting that we should make the panel match the tiiiiny proportions of the original Myst linking books, and he was correct:
3D model of the (non-existant) eLINKINGBOOK, designed to look like a linking panel from the Myst games, complete with a D'ni language keyboard. Initial concepts for the (non-existant) eLINKINGBOOK, designed to look like a linking panel from the Myst games, complete with a D'ni language keyboard.

You can see the ‘94-‘97 time jump in my Myst notes as well, where I proudly claim “I’m eleven!!” right as the handwriting gets a whole lot better
Photo of my Myst notes in the included Myst journal, from 1993-1997.

It should come as no surprise that he works in the film/digital archival field, considering how obsessive he’s been with backing up files for the past 32 years. 😅♥️

Amazingly, my dad just found our original save files for Myst—I love that you can tell I didn’t get to endgame until I was prepping to play Riven in 1997, and that dad named his endgame file “Syztem Reset” to keep @hummeline.bsky.social and I from accidentally opening it:
