When I wake up tomorrow it will be Saturday where I am (Osaka) which means it’s my 40th birthday! I didn’t think I’d make it this far but here we are!

We met a handsome fellow on the steps of Fushimi Inari

I am not normal about this I cannot believe how good these turned out

A good list, but wit one glaring omission - “Mantracks: The True Story of Fake Fossils”

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s time to throw out your box of mismatched old sleeves. You’re not going to find the exact color you need. You’re not going to randomly need 7 scuffed dual mattes to mail something. It’s okay to let them go. Be free.

Thinking about the 2000s Loser Comedy a lot lately. What happened?

I wrote this one :D (I also thought Quick was a French chain but it started in Belgium and later moved to France so Olivia deserves partial credit here)

It’s his day :D

Say cheese!

One of my favorite aspects of this yearly tradition is the spontaneity with which people pile on prizes. I love how much solidarity the Magic community shows for trans people!! $600,000 is mind blowing

The Polaroid windbreaker

This is one of the most humbling and awesome things i get to work on every year and the outpouring of support from the community rules so hard. We've raised OVER 2 MILLION for @translifeline.org in the five years we've been doing this, help us make this the best one ❤️

TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR @translifeline.org SECURED!!!

A lot of cool folks adding cool stuff to the giveaway, so thought I’d join in. How about a VHS of D20: Never Stop Blowing Up and these proxies I printed sleeved in the commander sleeves I keep forgetting to bring to conventions.

Been sitting on this for FOREVER but I’m wicked stoked to say I was a contributing writer on this episode!! It was a ton of fun coming up with some statements for consideration and it’s super cool a bunch made it to air!!

I don't even know how I'd search for this - but are there any other artists besides @alaynadanner.bsky.social who have illustrated the same card more than once? It's a cool claim to fame to have a hat-trick number of arts for the same card!

Any guesses?

I haven’t played Magic since last year!!

Last selfie of 2025 let’s make it count

Both excellent in their own ways. Both make strong cases for being in my top 5 of 2025

It’s an annual tradition in my hometown that the last modern locals of the year is “Fancy Modern” so I had to make sure to structure my trip home to make sure I didn’t miss it!

This has become one of my favorite artworks in Magic because it perfectly captures the emotion you feel when you put the draw trigger from Psychic Frog on the stack and then pay Kaito's Ninjutsu cost.

Please. Martin Supreme was my father

Can’t declare a movie of the year without logging Avatar & Marty Supreme by the end of 2025

Was shown this letter I wrote to Santa from when I was a kid. It’s charming in a melancholy kind of way. I told Santa I love him, didn’t ask for presents, and then apologized for not being good enough. Weird thing for a kid to say right?
