BrokenOptics -COMMS OPEN-

I’m back and looking for work. Anyone in the wrestling business needs merch, a band wants an album cover, book cover. Anything you need, I will do pretty much anything. Hit me up.

This shit is wildly illegal. Especially is they’re armed.

I think I didn't posted this one here, Pizza Tower was such a fun ride, may have to go back to get P scores :p

Bluesky finally added iPad support. It’s actually usable proper now. Does this mean I’ll post more? Depends on if I get any interaction at all, the screaming into the void thing is tiresome.

Our blessed cornball prophet

The older generation of artist who made it really relish being the ones to pull the ladder up for anyone else to make it anywhere in the art world.

Forts thing o saw today, incredibly disappointing. I was a big fan of Spiegelman since the 80’s. “I was lazy” speaks volumes.

I fucked up and spooked a good half dozen Blue Jays that were pecking the shit out of the bush outside my bedroom window. I wanted to get a picture. It was pretty cool though, never saw so many at once in one spot

So I did this recently. For a local wrestler named Bam Sullivan. Over time he’s going to release them all but is having a hard time deciding which to do first. So he’s running votes on other platforms

EA has been doing this shit since the 90’s.

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

You never know what spooky shit they vibe coded in there, could be anything and everything bad. No way is that shit not calling home to share your personal info

Weak men make hard times. We are here now. Can we speed up and support good people now? Tired of this shit

Private equity and now predatory AI companies. Making goals unrealistic so they have an excuse to liquidate and churn people out so they can get a bonus no matter what at the end of the year. The industry is a dead mall.

I got hired by BioWare in 2024 (I think) to make a huge rainbow foil poster for their webshop and it sold out in 24 hours. I think someone even got their poster signed by the voice actor who played Solas which was so cool. I’m sad for those who lost their jobs, it’s such a beloved studio

Ok then

Anyways. My 4k of Survive Style 5+ arrived courtesy of @diabolikdvd.bsky.social

When Musk took over Twitter, the Guardian asked me for a piece. I wrote about how Musk, Trump and Putin would form an anti-democratic alliance and it would take popular civil resistance to topple them. They didn’t publish the piece. Anyway:

Seems this app is going full on into AI shit after criticizing Twitter for it, abandoning its AI stance. But only telling people on Twitter like folks here wouldn’t find out. Shameful really. I wanted this to be a thing, instead I feel more isolated with zero traction on anything I do.

Friday the 13th, developed by Atlus and published by LJN joins my #RetroGamingSeries! It would be the perfect three-day weekend at Camp Crystal Lake, except for one thing - Jason Voorhees wants everyone dead! jacobcpaul.threadless.com/designs/retr...

just posting this on its own so i dont have to keep reskeeting the whole modeling thread

Only thing on my plate right now is a design for a wrestler, more details to come later.

Finally the fallen tree in my backyard gets removed today. There’s an overall larger job but I can only afford the main removal. Of course getting everything else done, it’d be cool if there were some gigs I can do

No one’s hired me this year to make Halloween merch and the one little Halloween commission ended with the dude burying it and unfollowing me I feel like it’s time I pack it up. It’s over.

I think I’m just done. Already failing inktober related shenanigans

Folks always say “tell your people you love them” Hell I always tell people to do that. No one really reaches out to me. I need to just get offline. Nothing good is coming from being on right now

I miss doing the work I did in wrestling, although so peripheral it felt for a minute I had friends and peers. Almost like I mattered for a minute. I miss talking to workers and getting in their heads as I crafted merch and whatever they needed. I miss the collective and collaboration

I MEAN

I know I don’t talk about wrestling a lot here, or much at all for a while. It’s a bit of an open wound for me. Tonight though I learned of the passing of PAC, who just wrestled yesterday is gutting. Man was so talented. I’ve been a fan since NXT. Too young. Far too young.

The storm seems to have downgraded to just pissing rain and 20-40mph winds.

I accidentally bought two copies of Super Mario Wonder off eBay. I was tired from not sleeping for two days and remembered I lost the cart, so I went on eBay to score one. I look today, I bought 2. So who wants one?

This nor’easter fucking sucks. We were doing ok for the most part, now the power is fluctuating. Round two of it is coming in a few hours

Huge storm coming, sky just went red. This is going to suck

Seems I kicked the hornets nest on Twitter. I spoke up to some pro AI shit to refute their dumb shit. Every bot, sycophant, slop lover and some weirdo racist people descended upon me. I’m a gate keeper, my art sucks, I should off myself on repeat. At this point, keep your slop, choke on it

Also had to consult someone on getting rid of fallen trees in my backyard. So I need to work out the financial for that, they quoted me a grand. So if you have any project you need an artist for, please hit me up.

Oh and I finished Onimusha: way of the sword. Capcom totally did it again, great game. Highly recommended.

I’m working on a commission that’s an old NES game box, which led me down a rabbit hole of the whole graphic design styles used by every company that ever published on the platform

Samus & Kirby

Been very beat up with my body failing me hard. It’d be nice to not actively murder me daily. I’m still working through it
