I forgot that I brushed my teeth twenty minutes ago and just ate two Oreos. And dang it I’d do it again.

It’s like Bittersweet Symphony means nothing to you people

Today is everyone’s first day in old town, apparently.

Me: “Look, @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social, I just grabbed the latest Pulitzer winning novel!” Kayla: “what’s it about?” Me: “It’s one long run-on sentence stream of conscious present tense story about a WWI soldier finding a literal angel shot down over a battlefield!” Kayla: “that sounds awful.” 😤

One beef paddle, please!

Had the most Dad moment yet this week when we took our children to the Wright Brothers Memorial to see where they first took flight. I also insisted on climbing this hill alone to look at the tower up close, cried a little bit, then bought the David McCullough book at the museum shop.

Nothing against this initiative in the slightest and I know we have bigger fish to fry - but as a designer/illustrator in the area who’s worth is already constantly under the chopping block, it can be discouraging to see the city officially putting out AI art.

Listen, I’m not just looking for beef jerky. I’m looking for something bigger, something more. I’m looking for a…

In the past, if my son was crying in his car seat I would say, “maybe he’s bored,” or “he’s probably tired of being in the car.” But after the experience gained today, I will be asking myself: “is he sitting on a banana?”

Listen; I love y’all but I’d be okay here for a thousand years

Just had my daughter’s half eaten bagel from yesterday and a bag of frozen peas for lunch in case you’re curious where I’m at mentally

Nothing like spending literal WEEKS working on a client video to promote their big event only to find out the event went ahead and happened while I was waiting for their edits to come in.

I think folks should know that I absolutely did order a Diet Coke from Spice Kraft.

You should be so lucky.

Our four-year-old keeps telling me to eat more vegetables “before you get dead,” and like… Dude I know? Get off my back.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

It’s true! Let’s make something crazy together!

After a wonderfully active and social day, it’s finally time to unwind with two and a half sentences of a novella I’ve been trying to get through for three years. Hope I don’t fall asle—

Look, honestly? I’m convinced. I’m on my way.

Wearing @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social ‘s hat while being an official poll worker this morning. It’s the height of fashion in this community room.

I understand why people don’t but I will never apologize for LOVING IN-N-OUT fries.

Just saw someone on Reddit describe RoboCop as a brutal movie with no subtle messaging and reader let me tell you—it activated me. Listen you could argue that the messaging in that movie isn’t SUBTLE but buddy, it’s there. I’d buy that for a dollar.

Without stating your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned 18.

Waiting for Florence and the Machine to come put and I keep saying stuff to @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social like “Wait are the dog days still going on?” And “You mean she built this ship to WRECK?!” So if I DM any of you needing a place to stay tonight you’ll know why.

“Sorry, I’ll leave you alone.”

According to my children, the best playground in Alexandria is my sleeping body.

Honestly when I think about critically it should have been obvious that this movie would be an intense bummer. Still incredible. But an intense bummer.

We need to talk about the real scourge of children’s programming today: worthless “series” of shows with episodes that are 90 seconds to three minutes long. Between credits and the “next episode” screen the gap between episodes is longer than the show itself!

Reason #5,364 to love Alexandria: saw a tree felled by a beaver and a goose nest with eggs five feet away from each other in one of our parks.

So I posted a drawing last night and almost immediately saw flaws. So I thought that it might be fun to post the new, updated version, along with the specific changes and their reasons. I thought with so much AI art out there it might be cool to see the reason for some artistic choices!

Behold! The sample cover to my latest manuscript! I found this very fun to do.

Panda alert!

I really liked this one

Star Wars isn’t science fiction and The Dark Knight is an okay movie that doesn’t hold up to repeat viewings and any real scrutiny.

Time to dust off this ol’ chestnut

Reposting for no reason in particular…

Perhaps you, like me, are looking for a distraction in this moment? Well then maybe you’re curious about why Snoopy is on this version of a watch famously nicknamed “The Moon Watch”? It’s an interesting story and very NASA official!

Just so you know what kind of dork I am: I was looking at the Artemis II mission stuff and said to @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social, “The cutaway in those letters in the bottom left corner definitely means something super specific…”

Imagine how pithy I’m going to get once Kiddo A starts kindergarten this year.

Kayla says we’re not allowed to watch Apollo 13 until after the Artemis II mission finishes, which like… Yeah I get that.

To me the craziest thing about my marriage to @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social is that when I say things like “I’m starting to really get into early 90s Japanese Jazz Fusion,” she looks at me and says “oh yeah that makes sense,” and still hangs out with me.

Working on a hometown art project and I need some input: what would people consider to be some local, non-chain restaurants with ICONIC signage?

Anyone have thoughts on Metroid Prime 4? I’m on the precipice. I’m going to play it EVENTUALLY, but… Maybe need a push?

Just wanted to share some art between the memes. My agency asked all the illustrators for a sample to show at an event in Spain, so I sent this over. A couple years old, but I still really like it!

Okay I’m pretty happy with this as a character design.

Had our first instance of @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social not liking the media I showed our four-year-old this weekend. IN MY DEFENSE I forgot how many brains were removed in the beginning of Bauldr’s Gate III

Time stops for no man! The news keeps coming.

This is kind of fun to share. At the SCBWI conference in January I was in a “comedic duo” workshop where we needed to come up with a possible duo. I scribbled out this cowboy and his very annoyed horse and really love how they turned out.

More hard hitting journalism!
