“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

politico.comDo You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.

I don't usually spend 3 days on a tribute post for a celebrity, but the 1-2 punch of losing such inspirational people for the arts and what they did for others kicked me into gear! Painted in #rebelle5 with touch-ups done in #clipstudio RIP Dolly and Tim😔 #illustration #digital #RockyHorror

So it turns out Spirited Away was right (as well as a random Reddit comment) when you can use body wash to clean up soap scum in the shower/tub. I really wish I would have tried that sooner.

A real cherry on top of the 250th anniversary of this country with what's going on the past two years, is having thunderstorms go on through the night basically canceling the fireworks 🤣

As someone who started playing video games with the PS1, having a collector's edition be a Sega Saturn container that I have no size reference for was very funny to receive in the mail #scottpilgrim #Scottpilgrimex

So Nintendo isn't suing me for the Pokopia Font Generator but they've legally compelled me to make a generator for something called the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!??

pixelframe.designSuper Mario Bros Super Show Logo GeneratorThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! brought Mario to weekday syndicated television in 1989 with a unique (bizarre) format combining live-action segments with DiC-animated Mushroom Kingdom adventures. This generator recreates the show's stacked curved logo with customisable text across all three title layers, complete with optional vintage CRT TV filter effects

The Cel has a protective layer of plastic between it and the cardstock print I made. I did a shit job with the Matte board, so I'll get it professionally framed later in life.

Plus I have the cell backed up digitally just in case the paint gets damaged, so I can print out a layer on top for viewing purposes (or put in the Cel's place to put it in storage).

I wanted to display it with a close proximity of the Background because it's a not so recognizable character. I tracked down the scene (Turned out to be a Pedestal shot), Painted out the character, and extended the animated water to create a more pleasing composition!

Try to do something in Blender, doesn't work. Look up tutorial and they do what I did, and it works. Do exactly what I did before the tutorial and it suddenly works.

In the process of learning the ins and out of blender with lil side projects example 1: I'm making assets for a cute lil' critter so I don't have to draw them constantly. The first big hurdle I've come across is making a lunchbox handle that can be animated and parented. Blend shapes are sick!

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate
