In what I understand is a deep irony, one of the things I look at and think "If I ever could communicate something like this in an illustration, I wouldn't need to push for anything more" is this rvsasvr piece which is really, really dark.

The rite of passage for every indie vtuber to crudely paint a bandana asset for pinning on their model, embarking on the esoteric path into true Metal Gear knowledge

June may as well be a year from now so I will definitely post about this again closer to the date, but "Dark Souls 3 All Bosses, Donate to Hurt Him" is something I think everyone should have on their radar.

Amanda told me working with reference at scale is fine for meme riffs so it will be an interesting challenge trying to simplify this down to be legible as a redraw with my skill level.

as loathe as I am to post an A16Z chart, I think this is important context.

not allowed to comment on the Millennial Coming of Age stuff because I just unrelatedly remembered how good The New Pornographers are this week so I'm clearly in a diminished, regressive state of aesthetic discernment.

it's all fun and games when you lie down for a bit with your cat and he make biscuits in your hair, until you realize he has given you tangles so bad you may as well just give up and shave your head.

Spotted Sandpiper x2 #boodooBirds Digital (D7200)

Gotta pick a target for today's bird gacha. Fog cleared, should be relatively easy shooting.

Seeing someone switch to team trackball brings me the personal joy and lightness of being that an Evangelical feels when they hear you've let Jesus into your heart.

Kikuri you have my number, call me.

I knew trying to start drawing would be hard, but I had no idea how hard.

watching someone play Poker Night at the Inventory in 2026, not knowing who Tycho is, and their immediate response to his first spoken line before it even finished is just "EW" is correct and encouraging.

Yeah dude, sure. Most of those are words.

saw a Japanology Plus video about fragrances and decided I should probably actually develop a sense for scents and find something I click with. Nemat Amber is the only thing I use at this point and it could be fun to try and broaden out.

Instead of struggling to draw some kindergarten level bullshit tonight, I've gathered up refs for a commission from someone who can actually draw. Both are important, and frankly both are hard work.

she could fix me...

"Blow Job" (1964), Andy Warhol

Two more rolls ready for dev/scan. Another 400D and a "Kodacolor 200" (ColorPlus 200.) I'm frankly scared of the Kodacolor crushing shadows. Can't decide if I run them in C-41 process or sub in CD-3 to flatten the ColorPlus curve, but risk a too-low density...

Star Fox: Assault had BGM and voice direction that feels like it should've been chopped up as MF DOOM interstitials

if your opinion on the new Star Fox designs starts "I'm not a furry, but": it's not for us. If you lead with "as a furry," I will sit my ass down and listen.

thank you @soulych.bsky.social for playing Star Fox Adventure and manifesting the Star Fox direct. Your powers continue to grow every day.

Had an idea, started roughing it out. Realized it sucks. Gonna do it anyway. I'm sick of not making something just because "it'll be bad."

Absolutely disgusting. Developers were made VERY aware of this concern when they stsrted building next to this school. To actively remove this chimney from the existing structure is just evil.

Oh man it's so much nicer being out on a weekday. Also cemetery instead of park probably helps. Black-throated Blue AND Green in the same tree, not sure if the shots worked. Scarlet Tanager too far. Parulas and Warbling Vireos very vocal but unseen. 45 minutes left, let's see if we get lucky.

Tomodachi Life should have a mechanic where you boot into your island and one of the miis is face down in a pool of blood and then it turns into danganronpa until you find out who murdered them.

I'm watching beri play DmC and wow the weird Fox News boss fight is actually kind of peak

discussions of inflation that still talk about the phenomenon in the econ 101 context that assumes rises in costs lead to rises in wages and vice-versa feel so naive this decade.

Took the next couple days off of work expecting serious migration to be happening, feels like I was a little early but the weather's gonna be perfect and there are still a ton of species around I don't have shots of yet so let's see how it goes.

Forza Horizon 6 is going to be the first instance where I actually have to consciously follow the BDS boycott for Microsoft Games instead of just passively farming karma by not giving a shit about anything they put out anyway.

My "what's coming out of these old PC speakers" answer is Diablo Tristram theme

Birding, specifically with the aim of photographing birds, is a constant battle with the "instagram problem" (which is also, frankly, the "internet porn problem") of having the 0.01% of all bird photos constantly in my face, and having to be happy with mine anyway.
