Anyone notice 2 of my favorite Mac apps, Tot from @iconfactory.com and Nova from @panic.com ? 😁 I use those apps every single day. Also, curious how many played the Pastebot arcade game long enough to get to the prize page? Original inspiration for the game was based on Tapper.

Where is everyone at? I know I don't follow enough people yet, but when I open my timeline here (and on Mastodon for that matter), 99% of the posts in my feed are just news/blogs/etc that I follow vs people.

*Tap Tap* Anyone in here? It's been awhile since I posted. The new year is around the corner and we as a company are trying to get back to what feels like normal. I hope 2026 is going to be a great year. I'm going to work/fight hard for it. 👊 PS. I miss the old (pre-algorithm) days of Twitter.

Screen printed a new shirt design. Used plastisol and a 3 color design for the first time (2 colors on this white shirt since I didn't have to print the white). I prefer the look and feel of water-based paints, but this stuff is great when I want really bold colors or need to screen multiple colors.

Had an idea of turning my logo into a kitsune mask, but just wasn't quite happy with how it was ending up when sticking with too many constraints. I really like the end result (second image) even though I had to stray further from my original concept. Going to use this for some fun things!

Some of my latest hats. I love the details I was able to get in the patches in the 3rd photo, but I made the patches slightly too large for my taste so I didn't end up using them. I'll have to make them again at some point, but slightly smaller.

One of the procreate sketches I did while trying to brainstorm how the "reincarnation" of Tweetbot would look like in the form of a phoenix. Wanted the shape of his head to somewhat resemble the "P" in the Phoenix logo. Not looking forward to doing a proper model/rendering in Cinema4D. 😅

I try not to share app icons until later, but I wanted to show where I'm at. The bird needs more refining and I plan to do at least one more flatter style icon. There "should" be 3 style icons to choose from at launch with a few color variations. App icons are not a strength of mine. 😅

You are up to date.
