You know them and you love them: WASD is playing at Fall MAGLabs on Saturday, September 12th at Peabody Heights Brewery! WASD does hard-rock renditions of video game music. But they aren't playing peasant console music. They play music from the most glorious system... The personal computer!

Baby's first commissioned artwork! Although I use the term "commissioned" lightly, and I asked that the $ be donated to my local animal shelter. Sure, I still have no idea how to make objects actually feel like they're sitting in a 3D space, but I was still pretty pleased with how this turned out.

A drawing of bunch of video game characters (Kirby, a korok, a junimo, a metroid, and a goomba) in Santa hads sitting around a bunch of presents. There are Christmas lights in the background. Text reads: "Dwelling of Duels Secret Santa."
