This does not matter but the whole “Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican in Florida” thing doesn’t mean shit. I spent 8 years in Idaho as a registered Republican. If you live in a red state with closed primaries (like Florida) and you register D you’re throwing away your primary vote.

Gimme the think pieces about the choice of outdoor gear in “Mountainhead”! DPS skis feel…almost right, but not bougie enough. Same goes for the Polaris onesies.

I can’t believe that we’re getting suckered by AI visuals this soon after the whole NFT boom and bust. Guys. We’ve seen these dumbasses plans for the world. They’re stupid and depressing. Why shouldn’t we believe the tech bros who have famously never been wrong about this shit?

Spent the last few days painting a couple murals. Absolute bucket list experience.

Just entered the virtual realities (mural project that I need VR for) and so far I gotta say, everything is anticlimactic in the metaverse.

This is the least important thing but: The Last Of Us has a hilarious relationship with the geography of the Jackson Hole region. We never get a Teton skyline in “Jackson” but as soon Ellie leaves town and rides for weeks we get shots of the north end of the Park?

Has anyone else been driven nuts by the Grammarly ad on YouTube where the narrator says “weary” when they clearly mean “wary”? Hilarious annoyance in an ad in a copy editing software.

Little detail from a last minute commission. Got the assignment around 4 yesterday, and managed to turn around a full-page editorial illustration in about 22 hours. Now to catch up on all the stuff I pushed aside to make that happen!

Made this little process layout for each of the primary steps in my latest illustration. Still on a raccoon kick for the foreseeable future.

Everything is fucked but I saw two (2) TWO!!!! raccoons this morning so I’m doing pretty ok.

Sketched out a bunch of concepts, didn’t go with any of them.

Finally rode a modern e-mtb this week (not just the sketchy e-tandem I rode at Interbike a decade ago) and by far my biggest takeaway is that XC bikes are way more fun, without any of the ethical/access/general ick issues. Like. Holy shit. XC bikes are so much fun.

Posting stuff here that the insta hordes don’t get to see yet. Here are a couple of pages from a new project.

I wrote something that’s not just about bikes. www.about-ride.com/articles/i-u...

This is a frozen snake my friend found. It’s pretty neat.

Here is my dog checking out the first twenty pages of a book I’m working on. She is not impressed.

I bet if you put a couple of those new Nutella-filled Uncrustables in an air fryer it would slaaaaaap. Yes. This is the level of discourse I plan on bringing to new social medial platforms. But also, imagine the crispy fried outside with molten Nutella filling.

I enjoy burritos and I love gummy candy, so I was excited to write about this combination of the two. Unfortunately it’s not great, but the packaging did spark my imagination. www.about-ride.com/articles/rev...
