sometimes I draw stuff anti fascism, protect trans lives, pro vaccine, pro choice, pro expanded gun control, pro universal healthcare, and I have never and will never use Gen AI on purpose. she/her

I’m not saying the best thing about Halloween is the decorative animal skeletons where the skulls have bone ears but I’m also not not saying that

When I was 12 and showing a younger kid how to water ski, she kicked out the bottom half of my two front teeth while trying to figure out how to deal with skis on her feet. Last night one cap randomly fell off and I had to get it replaced today and I Did Not Enjoy That.

If financial and material resources, education, time, and space weren't an issue, what hobby would you start? (stained glass for me, please.)

If you pass a cat that is looking particularly snug, and petting them has a 50% chance of increasing the snugness vs decreasing the snugness, so you pet?

Hi artists! Are you new to professional art? My top tip: If you are going to be late on a project, communicate that as soon as you know it. Apologize. I promise the client will be relieved by your communication, you will be relieved by not having to stress as much, and everyone wins! No ghosting!

First I was alive for 23 years, then I got married, now I have been married for 23 years. He's so good, y'all. 1000000000/5 stars, do recommend.

Will I be cutting shingles this evening with a hook blade utility knife, or wearing a fabulously deadly fake mustache? Who can say!

This was such a phenomenal debut! If you like stand alone fantasy with a bit of folklore flavor that explores who is served by the histories we keep, this one deserves a read!

As an attention-shy human, I have complicated feelings about my name on game boxes. That said, in this era of AI trash, if I do not see a human artist name on a game box, I will hesitate to buy it.

I don't know how to solve for games with many contributing artists. Maybe a line of surnames at the bottom? Everyone on the back? Hard to say.

Currently rebuilding a shed which is kind of fun. I was thinking I hope I can rebuild some other stuff but then I realized something would have to really break for that to happen, so now I hope I never have to rebuild anything ever again!

My anatomy skull is very testosterone-y so I got another one that looks less so and it came with all these face and cheek magnetic muscle plates which I took off and threw away, but Daniel just found one I missed on the living room floor. Bit 'o cheek flesh. Normal floor findings.

My cat won’t sit in her heated bed unless it has this grungy towel on it. She has two heated beds so we have cut the towel in half.

After a bunch of playtesting, v1.1 of “Palace: River and Stone” using @bethsobel.bsky.social cards is now available. Big change: The “Have Fun” card now resets the value of the face-up discard pile to zero. That opens the game up and avoids some pain 2p loops. boardgamegeek.com/thread/29741...

I'd love to see graphic designer names on game boxes! If you're putting the illustrator, why not also add the graphic designer?

How many hobbies is too many hobbies? Asking for a painter, quilter, board gamer, printmaker, reader, writer, very new & bad violinist, choir member, occasional baker... (also pls tell me your hobbies in case I need a new one sometime)

If there is a way to make footnotes populate to the bottom of the page they are on while reading on Kindle I would be so grateful to learn about it! (If there isn't, whyyyyyy)

Do you ever think about all the people you know and just get overwhelmed by their talents and awesomeness? IDK, man. Y'all are just super rad.
