The image depicts a man in a suit in stylized, bright graphics.
The figure is rendered in rigid geometric shapes, with a predominance of yellow-green and dark orange tones creating a sharp contrast. The character wears a dark jacket with a bow tie and a shirt with vertical stripes. He wears round glasses.
In his hand, he holds a glass with a clear drink and straws, which gives the scene the atmosphere of an evening or social conversation.
Large palm leaves are visible in the background.

What a remarkable human, and what a remarkable thing to know that she passed bemused at reading her own eulogies.

Rest in peace, Rebecca. Thank you for everything.

Many full time creatives have โ€œinvisible safety netsโ€ like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

Another bone-spacecraft. I may redo it but, as usual, that will be some other time and place, so I don't get stuck on the same idea.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

I got laid off from Firaxis today. I helped ship Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC and Civilization VII, and would love to talk to you about mid level Producer roles.

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you
