Cregger’s RESIDENT EVIL is one of the most fun times I’ve had in a theater all year. A non-stop barrage of frequently hilarious set pieces that pay loving tribute to the games. The audience I was with screamed and cackled throughout. And I’m so impressed by how much they kept out of the marketing!

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the most important piece of media of my childhood. It was one of the core motivators for me wanting to pursue art as a career. With the latest teaser trailer for the remake I felt compelled to make some fan art, exploring how young Link could look in my style.

Decided to purchase a #Dorico crossgrade license because I was trying to do something in Finale that was REALLY pissing me off. Don't think I've fallen in love with a piece of software faster. Still a lot to learn, but it's all really intuitive and I can seemingly get great-looking results quickly

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

Trump is reducing the size of two national monuments in Utah by 90% to open up the land for mining. He’s building a border wall through Big Bend park in Texas. And he’s gutted the NPS budget, throwing all our national parks into disrepair. Is there anything he won’t sell out?

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

A brave chipmunk holds his beloved staff and gazes out from his burrow home that’s covered in ancient, soft green moss. He wears a hooded cape and other warrior/guide accoutrements…and looks as though he’s ready to begin a long journey. In the background, softly painted, is a large and ancient forest with huge trees. It’s an old place full of lore.

Hearing everyone say they love the game and that it was worth the wait really makes it worth it. Its been a journey, and ill probably do a post mortem and the end of the first month, but I wanna thank everyone that helped support this game being made. Really hope you all enjoy.

I understand Nintendo fans want everything to be cartoon cereal mascot games but I'd like to point out from an artist's standpoint, that the new game's art style is adapting the style from the SNES game's artwork into a modern look and I personally think that's really cool!
