Eric Mahler

I suppose I should do an introduction post: Hi, I’m Eric Mahler. I'm a full time dad who likes to make art things whenever I get a free moment. I also like video games, movies, tech, stuff like that. Heres some examples of my art:

This one doesn't just wander into my head. It's lodged there as chapter one of my inner monologue on how to be a parent. Do the thing. Live in the moment. You only get finite chances and they run out quicker than you'd ever imagine.

Looks like all of @octavinavarro.bsky.social's spooky point and click games are on sale! I've been of fan of their art for years and these games are a great way to enjoy it! store.steampowered.com/bundle/22146...

I was in Kansas this past weekend with my wife who did the Unbound gravel ride. There was a lot of rain and mud. Good times were had. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK_2...

Here's a video of my wife taking a lovely ride down Emigration Canyon and through some bits of SLC. youtu.be/HGjbfuHp7Oc?...

The Leader is watching. 7 days to Phonopolis 📣

Having grown up as a bit of a music obsessed delinquent in the 80s and 90s, I suppose it's no surprise that Mixtape really worked for me. Great soundtrack, lovely visuals, and compelling characters. Easily gonna be in the running for my favorite game that came out this year.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
