I’m usually so bad at taking my own advice, but I’m gonna hang onto this one because I still feel this way. Art by itself won’t save us by itself, but community can. And I think it will.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.

the phrase "put 'er there, pal!" implies the hand is a girl

Always.

Yeah take that Mrs. Smith 😤

Inktober Day 5: Deer

Still chugging along at getting caught up on Inktober. This is Theo, an old OC who can turn into a peryton and has wind magic. #inktober #inktober2025

Day 4: Murky

Some fimsh. #inktober #inktober2025

Day 3: Crown

I think this one was closer to the spirit of Inktober. I'm trying to draw faster and just get the inks out there. #inktober #inktober2025

Day 2: Weave

I just wanted to draw a pretty elf lady and may have rendered this a bit too much. #inktober #inktober2025

Day 1: Mustache
Going to slowly makeup the work for Inktober and post.

Anyways, this is Ned, an OC, and his significant other who hates the 'stache. #inktober #inktober2025

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Not every day you meet the iconic comedian behind the world's most famous joke

Alpacas are somewhat smaller and their wool feels different.

Before humans started shearing livestock like llamas and sheep, were they just extra hot in summer, or did they have thinner coats back then?

I may have gone hard on the swag though. 😅

I am truly blessed to be in my current position and have the incredible opportunity to attend my first ever ALA conference. Being surrounded by such wonderful and passionate colleagues is something I never take for granted. #alaac25
