PORTFOLIO SHARE!: TTRPG projects. I'm looking for artists that can adapt to an artstyle that is custom made for projects. (regarding multiple projects). I've attached the styles I'm looking for! You don't need to demonstrate these exact styles, just a versatility that shows you can.

So I need to hire someone to redesign my site and make it more about my company and less about my work. Any strong suggestions for an indie web designer who doesn't charge a lot?

Before anyone says anything, yes, it's weird and good that the Browns won. Yes, it's terrible that they did it with that guy. Fuck that guy forever. Yes, parts of me wish that they lost because that guy was playing Fuck him forever

2:30am in a college town, a drunk asshole left the bar screaming about how we need to fuck up the [redacted slur], his gf trying to shut him up. I finally had it and told him to go fuck himself and got surrounded by meatheads. I guess I'm white enough not to get my ass kicked. We were never "united"
