Just said "continoodley speaking" aloud.
Feel I be speaking that one a lot moving forward.

I'm realizing my ongoing list is really short and I need to correct that. 🤦‍♂️

Here it is: Your weekly affirmation from Rocko the dog.

For my cattle dog roommates out there

Happy Last Day of #gencon2025 !
Here's another character I designed for We Can Be Heroes TTRPG.

...if that sounds intriguing to you!

A reminder that thanks to:

Adobe Creative Cloud...

making art on the computer continues to be... hell.

Fantastic news for artists: The lost functionality of Google Image Search as a reference image source has been recreated.

Watercolor painting: A puprle-grey tree grows twisted against a blue sky. The tree is full of giant orange fruits that hang heavy. The main fruit also appears to be a bit of an acorn? And has a balcony? And a lady drinking tea at the balcony. Blue woolbeasts wander around in the branches.

More fresh art prints for Gen Con:
Grisella's Treehouse, big and bright and glowy 11x14 lovelies.

The heart of the Forest, the source of the Woolbeasts, and the home of Grisella the Treehouse Witch (Griz for short). Stop by for a cup of tea and putter around the garden a bit, whydontcha.

this is duckduckgo btw 🤓

I search for stupid ass shit btw

hmm...

#fuckgoogle

Sure I'll post another pic from We Can Be Heroes TTRPG...

If you're at Gen Con this weekend be sure to hunt down @melissasuestanley.bsky.social and her Woolbeasts!
And the crew from @budstuffgames.com to learn more about We Can Be Heroes!

That was supposed to be a question...

Going to Gen Con? (I won't be there)

Anyway here's one of the cool game characters I created for We Can Be Heroes TTRPG

Going to Gen Con - check out some events for that game I illustrated!
Always a fun time with the buds:

Based on conversations I’ve had with comic stores today, it seems that the release may have been pushed until 8/6 due to distribution issues.

First issue was great! Looking forward to the next issue

FYI I fully listen to Mario Paint music while I work now, especially while doing thumbnails. #tbaogn

It’s a character builder, but I’m working on the campaign sign up for my newsletter at

Another #TMNT #Warmup, this time is #Leo 🤘🏻
Done with #HuionNote and #Procreate

😭

Holy crap. I would have bought the crap out of that.

I did the thing.
Don't overthink it: what comic book panels/pages live in your head rent-free? Drop four and tag #comicsdna

YouTube video by SpaceHunterM Super NES (1996) in 480p

Since Mario Paint is now on the Switch, friendly PSA that Homestar Runner got it's start on that program www.youtube.com/watch?v=IecJ...

Oh and thanks to KidPix on the public school computers
OH NO!

it also made Adobe's garbage applications feel initially intuitive.

A reminder that thanks to:

Mario Paint on the SNES,
Fine Artist on a Mac my mom was babysitting for her school one summer,
Corel Photo Paint on my uncle's PC,
and whatever crap painting program was on my Dad's laptop...

learning how to make art on the computer was easy as hell.

Messy artists table: from left to right: an open laptop, a drawing of a bull on white paper, misc art supplies and piles of brushes, a big palette of paint. In the center is a wooden board with blue tape holding down a painting of a bull in a field of daisies.

Packing for Gen Con today - one of the fun things I'm bringing along is my painting of Ferdinand the Bull, "He is Very Happy".

This painting shows ol' Ferd after Madrid: an epilogue where he has scars from the ring - but is now happy and settled into the life he bravely chose for himself.
