Nothing like going home to a family gathering, many factory workers or big vehicle drivers on one end, or well paid graphic designers and executive assistants on the other, and say...yea, I design and draw for dice games "Oh? How's that going?" "Yea, I just about pay my daycare bill every month" 🤷

had a revelation this morning: I am allowed to reuse my art assets in other projects :) using decorative or sport art hasn't bothered me in the past, but i seldom re use character art. I'm copying the older piece, making some adjustments to fit the new aesthetic scheme I'm after

people seem to like these when I show them. They're all available + others to patrons for use in their projects, as part of the art assets! But also if you just like to support an artist that is trying to make a living on his work 👇 www.patreon.com/perplexingru...

drawing on paper with tools is good for you! and it's cool

this exists it is called thinking

My wife gifted me with tickets to The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I've wanted to see these guys for years, and it was an excellent set. Lot's of love and swaying in the crowd. A real balm to all the negative swirling around

What about celebrating together something beautiful? Little free collective zine made for the Build a Better World TTRPG jam. Layout by @jimmyshelter.bsky.social editing @chrisair.itch.io the-lost-bay.itch.io/celebration

I was lucky enough to commission Matt to do a drawing/print for me and he did this beauty, capturing a couple important moments from book 4

so when one cuts out target, walmart, amazon for things like socks & underwear, especially in a smaller town....it get's...difficult for necessities buying. I mean kroger already sucks for deodorant toothpaste et al... thoughtful citizenship can be tough

What kind of bad situations would your Mothership characters get in if they were severed? Well, now they can be. With Second Self, give your PCs a piece of cyberware that effectively makes them two characters - for a price, financial and mental. Check it out: meatcastlegameware.itch.io/second-self

Art! Making physical art (gouache on paper) is wonderful because I get to enjoy them in a tangible way vs my digital drawings #handmade #humanmade

woah!!! Book 1 was wonderful - this is high on my watch list

Raise the sails, ye landlubbers! For Talk Like a Pirate Day I’ve gone all in with FREE stuff: - Boundless Tides, a free soulslike pirate RPG - Boundless SRD, the system I’ve been tinkering with for a year - The Boundless website which has rules, faq, extras, and more. THIS IS ALL FREE

wicked cool 👀

unfortunately The Daily Show is clever satire - the people who'd benefit from it's tricks and wit only believe in blunt force statements and commandments @brookletgames.bsky.social - though i quite enjoyed that :)

Zach just posted a new billboard, bumper sticker, t shirt, coffee mug worthy remark! Let us get out of the ford motor company conveyor belt mindset!! Make make make is for industrialists, not humans

If the quality of your work doesn’t matter—just the speed at which you can produce it—then you’re not making art. You’re making content.

just saw a post saying that Samsung will have "smart fridges" with screens that show advertisements! fuck fuck fuck fuck - dehumanization is today's philosophy du jour

i was told once, many years ago, by a blue collar, high school dropout, veteran and welder that it was in fact patriotic to criticize a president if warranted. not for their skin color, or hair, or facial expressions, diet, but if they were in fact doing the job itself poorly. Never forgot that.

my resume now gets to have band shirt designer! so you know, if your band needs some album art or merch art....

I'm convinced if the media and "news" just went away for a year - like in some speculative sci fi way - and people had to talk to people, instead of having heads talk AT THEM, we could find more common ground. quit listening to "them" and interact with your actual neighbors. get to know your street

feeling really pissed at the United States Democratic Party for giving away the country... there were several moments where the right choice could have been made. Like actual elections where candidates moving in the right direction were popular! But cowards gave it away

i was supposed to quit making political posts. games, art, and business only - but really, the US is bleeding. It's grieving. It's in pain. It's losing...

The US does belong to its citizens, right? We pay for it with money, votes, labor. Lots of blood and sweat. The masked soldiers beating on US citizens are our employees, right? Astounding people are happy to pay for their own censorship and beatings. Come on "reds" choose love & freedom

be on the right side of history - this needn't be violence or destruction or criminal activity. Practice with the mighty Dr. King. Speak truth to power, stand with your fellows, call out the wrong, write your reps.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

the town in germany I am from has a small plot of land that's a memorial to the small synagogue that was destroyed on Kristallnacht. For years, as a kid i didn't know what it was - but when opa told me, as a teenager, i was pummeled in the gut.

watching an armed, trained, armored "tough, manly man" pick up and toss a woman without any of those protections to the concrete is galling. not very christian, certainly not "manly", certainly not protecting US citizens they swore to protect... sad USofA 😞

Hi, new followers! If you like gameplay-as-narrative, indie tabletop, and somehow also Himalayan Buddhism, you might like this niche-as-hell book we're publishing: emptymountain-ncd.itch.io/shrines

It can't be lost on jobs/market/economy obsessed govt. that if they hyped, invested in, and supported early childcare, the economy could do lots of things! there's an army of unsung childcare workers putting in long hard hours so folks can make $ instead its AI this, and fucking AI dork shades

Speaking of TTRPG reviews, Taskerland is one of my favourites in the space (and is often, I think, overlooked)!

I need to hustle up a couple hundred Buck-a-ronis by the 21st... Who needs some art?

I'm always on the move to grow and expand clients and projects. If you know folks in record or book or game publishing, and you think my work might fit, I've built a portfolio site you can direct them to! perplexingruins.carrd.co

check this project! Need's some more funding. Here's some of the art I did for it, and if it funds, I get to make more!

I was invited to design a tour shirt for the band Big Thief for their Double Infinity tour! My first band work :) Thank you Big Thief for an amazing opportunity Also, buy all these up so those guys don't feel like they lost money if a bunch of my shirts get stuck in storage and discount racks 😕

this! 👆
