If you have a clone of 100 Ornithopters and you've taken the time to record your drafts in @cubecobra.com let me know! They've recently added a feature that allows for exporting/importing of draft records, and I'd like to add any records from clones on my main list for analysis.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

LOOKING FOR SPONSORS! Trying to do something much more ambitious next year but venues in Boston are prohibitively expensive. If you can help in any way or know someone who can, lmk! RTs appreciated ❤️

On thursday my wife and I had the surprise of our lives when a routine DR's appointment turned into my wife getting admitted to the birthing center five weeks before her due date. On friday my delivered our first child, a healthy baby boy. I am awed by the strength of my wife, who is recovering well

The only thing left is for him to be able to eat full meals with his own energy, something that may take a week or two. we're optimistic that he will be home soon.

If you want to know his name or see some pictures - you know how to reach me. I have it on good authority that he is an extremely cute baby.

DRs said that we should expect him to come home on his original due date, about five weeks away. We were discharged and sent home on sunday empty handed, which has been very challenging, but we are reassured he is in good hands.

Yesterday our baby gradudated from the NICU and was moved into special care, which is a lot less intense and no more IV drips to maintain his glucose! From day one he was able to breath and regulate temperature on his own, which puts him way ahead of babies born at this time already

Since the baby was here so early, he had to immediately be checked in to the NICU as babies born this early have issues breathing, maintaining their temperature, and eating. Our baby was also struggling with his blood sugar which resulted in IV drip to maintain it.

I’m also donating a 90 minute video call with the winner to talk about what I learned from this event, the buyer’s goals for the cube, and how I would tweak the list with both in mind.

My first serious Hellscube 9 submission. I swear I came up with the mechanical concept of the effect before using the comic as the main focus of the card. (more info on what Hellscube & purple are in replies) #magicthegathering #mtg #hellscube

Now that Obscura is over and the Telemetry box as been seen… I can share some details. Much of my art draws huge inspiration from Calvin & Hobbes, specifically the Spaceman Spiff stories. So I just leaned into those environments:

Space Beleren was the mascot - and he makes a debut on the box. Unfortunately after the box was done I realized Space Beleren is both unplayable, and is also a miserable play experience when resolved. Since I was committed through the box, I decided to get an altered space beleren to keep him around

The Themes of the cube include a heavy emphasis on themes such as energy, artifacts and landfall. I interpreted the theme as having devices that are communicating through "triggers", and eventually pictured a Lab Maniac surrounded by instruments, or a captain of a ship navigating in a ship's helm

A little background on the cube - I designed this as a desert cube with an otherworldly setting. To establish this setting I used the 17x each of unfinity basic lands and 3x each of unfinity shocklands, one cycle of EOE bonus sheet manlands, and an assortment of colorless bonus sheet lands as well

We are 5 days out from the Columbus Community Cube Fest! Why did we go with such a long name? It was important for us to highlight “Community”. Cube is for everyone! So much of #mtgcube is about more than who got the 3-0. It’s about the camaraderie, creativity, & great vibes that the people bring!
