After learning about "The Bird That Drinks Tears" series from the project Windless trailer I was intrigued and decided to pick up the first book in the series, "The Heart of the Nhaga" Super cute excited to check this out once I finish my current book!

Ive always wished I could draw. So I spoke with buddy @dextermorrill.bsky.social and he said a good place to start is to copy something you like. Well I always loved Dr. Suess's style so here are my attempts! Not great but I'll take progress over perfection 😊

The cover of "Oh the Places You'll Go". It features a boy in a pink balloon basket being lifted up by a pink and yellow striped balloon.

My version of the cover of "Oh the Places You'll Go" in crayon.

A page from "Oh the Places You'll Go" where the boy in the balloon from the cover is caught in a tree branch.

My version of tree without the boy stuck in it.

Game 21: Max Payne An atmospheric 3rd person shooter that despite all it's cheesiness is still a fun game to play through. Some enemy placement is garbage along with insta kills but other than that I didn't hate it. 8.5 hours
