An owl sits in a branch, eyes closed, head tilted, claw outstretched in a “hold up a second” gesture.

new day. I've decided to give up. fear wins. 🌈🤠

White foam trucker hat. Bill embroidered with gold laurel leaves similar to the “scrambled egg” design on some military caps. Yellow braid across the top of brim. The name Leo, written in script, is embroidered in gold on the front.

Side view of hat. White patch with gold border sewn onto mesh side panel. Circular. Da Pope is embroidered in same script as Leo.

People have a very analytical approach to gender and sexuality- "you cant be this if you're that"- which creates a very sanitized, suffocating environment. In truth; there are no models of attraction and gender that will ever feel good if your approach to life is hyperprecision taxonomy

DragonCon has a LOT of little kid attendees, and shows like that can be hard on the youngsters, so last year I made a little wooden dragon to give to any kid who came by the table. The kids liked 'em, so I figured I'd do it again. To the left is last years' design, the right is the roughs for 2025's

been posting less this season but making time for my media interests and events more. id like to get to a rhythm where I can do both, even if im not a savvy social media person.

til then, summer has been fulfilling for my tired soul and I really have appreciated the time to just "enjoy the thing" ☀️

I like the idea of trying some new to me gay bar events specifically as a chance to meet other queer and trans men but I'm really daunted by it.

I wouldn't want to overstep unintentionally but maybe I'm putting too much weight into not fitting one label over the possibility of connections I desire.

Harpies are still my top tier monsters. As ugly crones or as wicked fail girl witches, they all rules.

surreal artwork of a fragmented castle floating in the sky in the style of a retro video game. think roger dean, but geometric. the shapes are simplified as if a low poly model, and the textures are pixelated. a broken chain of hills with floating pixel trees hang behind the castle, extending into the distance towards a large moon. there are a few small waterfalls falling forever into the sky below. it has a cotton candy color scheme, with the sky background yoinked from spyro on the ps1.

Posting this old bookbinding project to remind myself to get back into bookbinding! I wish there were more opportunities for weird/unique things like this in illustration; maybe for a super-special-very-limited edition book? ✨

Guybrush Threepwood, le personnage principal du jeu "Monkey Island". Il tient un sabre à la main, et derrière lui s'agite un singe à trois têtes.

"Derrière toi ! Un singe à trois têtes !"

TTRPG folks ought to assign ourselves the task of rounding this out. We can find a good use for the weird ones, the reeeal weird ones

Let's make it happen

*remembers how expensive textbooks are and turns to dust*

"how to prep and run D&D adventures for a group of middle schoolers, keep it under two hours, and incorporate library collections discovery"

super specific handbook or panel I could write the shit out of and with every passing day I really think I should

eh. doing a lot of projects around the house today and I guess the quiet's got me thinking about getting out to explore new circles again

thinking about the last time I was in fighting classes. really liked mma as a form of exercise but I realized even though I was paying the same membership to the boxing gym as the other guys my experience was so isolating no matter how much I wanted to spar. so I left.

be nice to try again.
