👹Actors!👹

I've got 1on1 zoom coaching slots available for the next few weeks. DM me for details!

possibly the tuffest self-portrait i've ever taken

Absolutely stunning shot, Erin. I think we can all find something of ourselves in that small, contented grin every time we're able to surround ourselves with nature.

What a kind thing to say! Thank you so much, David.

Another I haven't posted yet, just for you.

What??? What the FUCK!???

I would pay any sum of money for the chance to take her with me to my desert home for just one day, to listen to her excitedly infodump cactus facts about every one we came across. or to hear what she'd think about my own photography.

I love you, Nonna. One day we'll get to meet and I'll find out.❤️

and yet

like, this woman had an 8th grade education. she lived in rural southern Illinois. died years before I was born. as far as we know she never even got to visit the desert.

hidden in a box of forgotten family stuff mailed to us after my great aunt died, I found a scrapbook nobody knew about that is CRAMMED with photos and awards. I'm so blown away, like

so apparently my great-grandma was secretly an award-winning photographer and cactus expert? 🧵

these are so insanely sick. the texture on the fire is unREAL

nice work! I can tell that you're adding more of your own style and energy into your newer piece

!NEW STUDIO ALERT!

My friends at @antifun.bsky.social just launched their first game, an official collaboration with THE MAN HIMSELF @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! Drop them a follow, would ya? Plus, the game's only $2.99 and it's way better than it has any right to be. Pick up a copy!

well thats a new one

It remains one of my proudest career achievements to have cast and directed the voice work for Nightdive Studios' award-winning System Shock remake. And now, I can say that a game I directed is on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2!!

Congratulations to the whole team!

Thrilled to be among so many great talent and good friends in Ocean Drive's awesome title Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch as Anton and Porter! To the studio crew and the fabulous Jen Losi and @voiceofbevins.bsky.social -- love you bunches and it's always a privilege to work with you. Game out NOW!

its like the desert couches. they just grow out here

I also take a lot of pictures of trash. I'll post some more soon

hmm? are you asking if I'm the photographer? yes, everything in this thread was taken by me in the last 3 days

ride fast and rest well in providence, brother. may your memory be a blessing and your voice echo in the desert winds. thank you

and then, amidst the quiet, desolate winds' mournful whispers, i encountered a sobering monument
