Just some #MTG cards I own. #MagicTheGathering

Another #SDCC returning reg where badges for next year have been secured. It's always nice to have that locked down and not have that stress hanging over you going into open reg.

Funny thing about flying cars: we've had them for decades. We call them "helicopters" and they're really, really good at what they do. If your first (correct) thought is "I wouldn't trust your average driver to fly a helicopter", well... maybe that's really the biggest issue with "flying cars".

This one is meaningful to me as my daughter posed for the reference using the SAME yellow wrap Ang used for Brainstorm back in 1999! Also, (with thanks to Scott M Fischer for loaning me his compressor) the old airbrush came out of retirement for the glowing glyphs, just as I'd done back in '99! 🎨

Magic: the Gathering fans, the DUALITY DISTORTED Secret Lair was revealed at last with a new card by Yours Truly. The art order was a black magic version of Brainstorm, which I was super excited to paint!

When you're trying to figure out the position of the legs, you end up with some happy stomps. Some decisions are real hard.

Spooky Alters Month Day 13: Hand painted Reanimate after a poster for the cult classic 'Re-Animator'. If you watch one spooky movie this month, watch this one.

I cosplayed as Dr. Alan Grant at #NYCC this weekend and had a blast. I posted about the experience on the #JurassicPark subreddit if anyone's curious - but also more than happy to answer questions here. www.reddit.com/r/JurassicPa...

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

#NYCC was Thu-Sun and I spent today walking The Met. As always with these trips, I def put the milage in.

Had more waiting to do.

When the waiting room has an Etch A Sketch.

One step closer to completing the Dark Phoenix Saga. #NYCC #X-Men #XMEN

Seeing a lot of guys dressed up as Macho Man at #NYCC. Macho Men? Macho Mans? Machos Man?

I attended the Blade Runner 2099 panel at #NYCC last night and Michelle Yeoh always looks like she’s having the absolute most fun ever and I just love that for her.

The #MTG panel at #NYCC is a small room and has been standing room only for over a half hour. And still won’t start for another 10m. Getting REAL warm in here.

Sitting in the lounge waiting for #NYCC day 2 to start. Feeling more tired than I’d like, but not surprised since I couldn’t fall asleep until far too late. Got a lot to do, so I need to rally. …but I could easily sleep another 3 hours.

Got to watch the first episode of Visionquest. Should be a real fun ride.

Some #MTG freebies at #NYCC

On the train headed to New York. It’s unfortunately running in reverse (?!?), so I’m traveling backwards and my window seat won’t have the nice shore view… but I’m happy to be underway after a 15m delay. Time yo get settled for the next 4 hours.

If I know anyone that's in NY that's interested in attending #NYCC on Thursday, I have an extra badge that's not being used (but just Thursday). HMU

Spooky Alters Month Day 6: That woman deserves her revenge...and we deserve to die.

#NYCC is this week and I'm feeling woefully under-prepared.

Mox Sapphire hand painted after Hokusai's famous 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'.

Goku remains a horrible father.

We were talking about baby goats at work, so here’s a Maui flashback to some very short term fosters we had.

Finally back in Boston. Now I just need to get back home.

Alphonse Mucha Sheoldred hand painted after his 1897 'Bières de la Meuse' lithograph. Also referencing Ryan Pancoast's Sheoldred illustration, Mark Tedin's depiction of Yawgmoth from Inquest magazine, and Chris Rahn's original art of course.

They mostly come at night. Mostly.

My neighbors have gotten too comfortable with group texts and I kind of want to scream but I'm holding it in 1) to not be That Guy and 2) not embarrass my wife

Totoro Catbus hand painted on Eskia's Chariot.

@phelddagrif.quest I assume you’ve seen this already? www.reddit.com/r/mtg/s/ZLAC...

Powered down my whole setup to replace my UPS’s battery this morning. Upon coming back up, my GoXLR wouldn’t power on. Just straight dead. End of an era. Took the disruption as a chance to strip my desk and clean everything. Now to figure out a replacement audio interface.

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain. @sbworkersunited.org has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.

Worst week ever.

It must pop, pop, pop!

Mystic Remora hand painted after M.C. Escher's 1955 lithograph 'Three Worlds'.

We all agree that "title" being a required field for anything is both completely outdated and absolutely fucking weird, right? If "prefer not to provide" is an option, just don't make the field mandatory in the first place. Even better: just stop asking and collecting it in the first place.
