I can't stop drawing these funny lil guys

The most common response to me telling other artists I quit social media has been 'I wish I was in a place where I can do that' but honestly I *absolutely* am not in that place myself and I have noticed no downsides in skipping it so far.

It has been incredibly freeing to leave it all behind

Im coming up on being freelance for a year now and its been a scary old rollercoaster, with some cool projects im excited to talk about but I realised I havent really made any digital art due to all the bleddy chasing ive been doing so im gonna try and rectify that a bit soon too. Heres a WIP!

Ive been enjoying being absent from social media that I didnt even end up posting through Buffer as planned AND ITS BEEN BLISS.

Ive been putting the time away into reading (5 novels down in 2026 already) and filling sketchbooks, and using mobile Pintrest for any phantom scrolling urges

A new TTRPG project by my buddy NeonRot inspired by Suda51! I love Neons work so its so cool to see this. You can support thee kickstarter here now

www.kickstarter.com/projects/neo...

I'll still update art here via Buffer but I don't think I'll see notifications any more. Moots can find me on Discord, Patreon and on my personal Website.

In the new year I'll fix up my newsletter too and put out a post for that.

Happy New Year folks! Time to make some cool stuff

Pulling the trigger early!

The algorithmic madhouse that is social media has always been trapping in a myriad of ways.

In 2025 I tried to play along with SEO more than ever and it didn't seem worth all the trouble so I'm gonna become a lil digital hermit and escape the constant feed of doom.

Incredibly sensible choice here from Julz as alwaysi

I've really enjoyed reading again lately in an effort to escape screens and this *may* have been picked up on over Christmas...

Excited to dig into more in 2026

Was sat with my team outside eating ice cream when Shaq walked up and asked how we were doing. Literally the largest human I have ever seen.

I *think* that day must have been when these amazing photos were taken.

A friend of mine brushed past him looking down and said he never saw him 😂

I have a few loaners if you fancy it! I don't have any modern standard outside of the FF Starter sets. We can work something out tho

Jaysis... When I return from my travels we shall have to have our next catch up in a place that can facilitate a casual Commander game.

I also have to gush about Dune now that I'm finished with it!

Game Gear Forever

I had it in my Yarok deck, maybe I should swap it over to my Zaxara deck. I'm *relatively* new to deck building but love working it out!

My brother do you partake 👀

Nice surprise to find a @wolfskulljack.bsky.social card in my deck last night!

I'm pretty sure mine is a business account

I might need to pick your brain a bit as I'm struggling with the IG integration. It's asking me to open the app to post which flies in the face of it a bit

Honestly, I definitely struggle with being addicted to my phone! I'm very much an all or nothing kind of guy so this seems idea for me to keep me focused and on track haha!

Testing a Buffer post!

I was sent a potential third party replacement to post onto the apps without having to keep them so let's see how this works!

I've been trying to disconnect from doomscrolling more and more lately and just enjoying sitting with physical media. Need a reset!

Amazing, thank you for this! I'll look into it

I remember there used to be third party apps that let you post out to social media without having to get lost in reading it. If that still exists I'd love to know as that would be ideal!

I've got a ton of folk I love on here and would love to keep in touch with so if you fall into that let's see if we can keep in touch via discord or something.

Already mentioned to a few mutuals on here but in the New Year I'm gonna remove all Social apps off my phone and try to mostly use my own site and Patreon for sharing art for a bit, although I may post some updates here and there.

I'm tired of the digital rat race and want to move away from it.

It's the head of the Eraserhead Baby in place of a labubu doll's faceplate.

The Eraserhead baby is disturbing. It kind of looks like a sheep fetus? But here it is, tucked in the furry little body of a bunny-like labubu.

All these photos are in black & white, to be evocative of the Eraserhead movie.

Please. My labubu is very sick.

The entire last week was like this:

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Enjoyed getting married so much I came back to the US and did it again... DOUBLE MARRIED

Post some art you made from before Bluesky!

Hotline Miami was the reason I started making games so to be asked to contribute for the 10th anniversary will always be a career highlight for me

No calls
