Quote your art with fire on 🔥 It's one of my fav tshirt designs. Always get good comments on it.

A blue jeans wearing werewolf riding a BMX red bike leaps from the maw of a dragon head breathing fire, having ridden along its roller coastery tongue that ends in a hand giving the heavy metal fist symbol. The flames from the dragon's breath turn into the shape of bat-winged skulls.

Instead of doing Inktober and giving yourself tendonitis out of FOMO, check out one of these that may better match your interests and pace. Or do Restober for real and take a break, no ‘oh-I-forgot-to-set-my-alarm’ or whatever

Detail from my kid lit art postcard for tomorrow for spooky month.

Think I’m gonna make this into a sticker but as long as it’s for personal use (or better yet, defacing Ai promotion/pollution 😈) I’m cool if anyone wants to print it out for that.

Illustration of a hydra like creature that is a hand with too many fingers. Pencils are piercing through its body. Text says “ death to ai” “ kill it with human hands”

Fascinating article, and it's interesting to think about why most games with presumptive colons sound awkward, yet some are just perfect titles. Good example of this in my mind is Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. What a perfect title, getting across mechanical form and story/setting concisely.

The birthday card turned out pretty good drawing on a low to the ground easel. We randomly rolled up Chick's head on Petal's body, alongside donuts with gummi worms as a topping and a unicorn bicycle as a prize. I think the mad libs turned out pretty good too. #WOTS #KidLit

Artist! Quote with the artwork you cannot explain! ❔ That's like 90% of what I draw. I just draw shit, I don't know what it's all about. Usually it's better that way.

Man whose head and shoulders are consumed by an unusual mass.

Wrinkled thing with pants and shoes. Two woobly arms are pointing to either side.

Tiny man whose upper head is just 4 hairs flowing skyward. He smiles mysteriously.

Birdlike thing, but so not a bird. Head is especially alien.

The 9 that I played most as a kid though were probably these Commodore 64 titles. Maybe Wizardry, the Sierra Quest games or Gold Box TSR games should be on here too. These were often games played with friends.

Space taxi, Lode Runner, Tangled Tales, Archon, Creatures to the Rescue, Batman: The Caped Crusader, Summer Games, Winter Games, and G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero.

My 9 games, the ones that I played and replayed the most. The ones with the worlds I wanted to get lost in the deepest. Although Boggle With Friends should be on here for pure amount of time I still play it.

Baldur's Gate 1 2 and 3, Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire, Lego City Undercover, Witcher 3; Wild Hunt GOTY, Dodgeball Academia, TMNT Shredder's Revenge, and Absolum.

Who remembers back in the 1970s wearing a mask like this from the corner shop, with a bit of slack elastic at the back, dressing in a black bin bag and hollowing out a turnip for a lantern? Not for Halloween or anything, just because we couldn't afford clothes or electricity, and were so ugly.

there are no seat belts. No rules,
