That's when you have my permission to make a tiktok reading those two mean twinks for filth about their boring videos.
I'm really bad at not kinda rushing things, haha. I want to get through the main story so I can go at a slower pace, maybe. If this is even a game that will make me want to do that, it's hard to say.
I left my hut after turning the game on yesterday and was immediately assaulted by a Riolu who told me he values our friendship and gave me a single rock. Gurl, lemme drink my coffee first.
Mind you, I've probably put like...10 hours in at this point. So this isn't merely an opening hour problem. It's just constant. I almost dread moving into a new area because it all starts over again, haha. I'm having fun, it's so cute, but it's so MUCH.
Pokopia is fun, it's hard to put down. But it's also overstimulating as fuck. Every one of these damn critters is on me like a rash. It doesn't feel like this game has as much patience for me as I'm supposed to have for it.
I like the game but my brain isn't good at "add that to the to-do list."
2026 should be the year I learn how to make a font, don't you agree?
I'm a big fan of the Famicom Disk System mascot, Diskun, so I modeled and 3D printed him! I used rather cheap spray paint for the yellow so it kinda squished when I put him into his base, but for now it'll do (I'll do another print/paint of him in the future probably). Long live Diskun!
For what it's worth, I think it's awesome and cool and very much something to be proud of. I know you're not saying it isn't those things, but still. ;)
He looks so caught in the act, haha. It's both horrifying and weirdly funny.
Mine too! I think they're a super cute kind of art perfect for display.
Marbit is so baby. π±π§‘ #FujifilmXPro2
Just placed an order for 200 keychains (two designs, 100 each). I think y'all are gonna like them and I'me excited to be selling some non sticker or print physical goods, but also spending a chunk of change like that right now is so scary, haha. More on the keychains in the coming weeks, regardless!
Sure will! I've hand washed my bottles with stickers on them plenty without any issues. I've had some friends tell me they are okay in the dishwasher too, but I can't say for sure from personal experience.
Venture capitalists should 'venture into a dumpster fire. π₯
Thanks Andy, you're an absolute peach! Lots of people put them on water bottles or on journal covers and such. Those things are also finite, but ever present enough when they're around that at least you'll enjoy the sticker consistently, I think.
Roller skating accident! Somebody bumped into me, lost their balance, and tried using me for stability and brought me down. It'll take more healing but at least now I can use it mostly like normal. It's all good! <3
Yeah, I literally had to force myself to loosen up a bit when sketching (and still need to, can't put *too* much constant pressure on it)! I hope that element stays because I like that change.
I got my cast off my left arm after a month and a half of wearing it. Yay! So delighted to wash my arm again! But after being used to drawing with a cast on for that long, I now have to relearn to draw like a normal Drew Green. Not something I anticipated being an issue!
Excuse my while I die a little inside every time I read that sentence.
I hate selling stuff on Facebook marketplace. I already hate getting messages from strangers in general, but it's so much worse when they come in with this expectant energy. Some people are just straight up rude, and lots of people are just straight up bots. Haha
I'll end on a hopeful note: make art, make it clear that you made it with your own brain, your own hands, etc. Your fingerprints are the most beautiful thing about it. Share your human experience in big and small ways. Let your joy and pain be known. The world is lucky to have us. AI cannot compare.
If you knew how bad social media/constant screens would ultimately be for us, wouldn't you wanna go back and make some changes to your own behaviors, or try and shift cultural and systemic choices in your own way? I feel like that's what I'm doing when I make art right now. It's something.
The likeliest scenario right now is that we'll all look back at this moment in five years and think "god, I hate that we have this now and I hate all the damage it's done." And that makes me so, so sad.
AI (esp. recreational/image-based AI) is a form of systemic oppression. It's being used to disrupt art and industry in the service of a few fat pigs at the top. We all partake in systems that do not serve equally or fairly. Let's not play a part in this one. It's not too late to avoid getting stuck.
My upstairs neighbors either have a new daily workout routine or they just be fuckin' at 4 every day, but I don't wanna ruin their good time so I guess I'll just put on my headphones.
Come and get me, boys! The sticker for March will get your bejeweled heart beating. ππ€β¨
Make sure you're signed up to my Pinup Sticker Club by 11:59PST (Los Angeles time) on March 3rd to get this hundred carat* cutie sent right to you!
*Contains no actual carats. Or carrots.

I understand the need to pivot to thrive, but I hate hate HATE how most art youtubers are now also lifestyle youtubers (often more lifestyle content than art). I do. Not. CARE. what you had for lunch, I wanna see you make art. I hate that the platform basically demands this for relevance.
Looks so warm and inviting!
Looks simple and clutter-free, which I appreciate!
I have a similarly vertically-stacked monitor situation! I don't think I could do it any other way just given how I'm used to working.
