Red Flag: If you watch a video about graphic design, and the person speaking gives themselves 2-3 different titles, then keep scrolling. Anytime I hear people say “I’m a Creative Director, Brand Specialist, Information Architect, I cringe. Stop. Just be one thing and let your work speak for itself.

Bright Eyes are a ska band.

Looks like Spotify is down. * blows the dust off of Bandcamp * Oh, hello old gems.

As long as Bon Iver is doing all these brand partnerships for his new album, it would be so funny if the final song on it was a FanDuel ad and then a mournful, auto-tuned list of hotlines to call if you’re addicted to online gambling.

True Life: I participated in RSD 2025 and did not grab the Taylor Swift release.

Ska community: We need to take ska seriously! We are more than just a mozzarella sticks meme. Moments later: Please watch my Dragon Ball Z ska cover. Also, subscribe to my Patreon where you can see ska renditions of me beating the nostalgic tropes to death.

Today I had 14 people send me Chat GPT action figure prompts. Why? I don’t know. Please stop it.

Overheard at Sheetz while getting gas. Person at the pump beside me: Hey Siri, Do tariffs effect the price of hotdogs?

Anyone else completely exhausted by ai in media creation? The voice overs, lip syncs, illustration copyright violations, etc. Anymore I instantly tune out at the first glance of ai usage.

Happy release day to @thekilograms.bsky.social ! Beliefs and Thieves, out now.

Hi. Good afternoon. We put out a full length today. open.spotify.com/album/0gyZSd... Hot dogs for click bait. I think that’s how the internet works right?

Thank you @mundo259.bsky.social for diving into this! 🖤🙌🏻

If I had a nickel or every Imogene + Willie knockoff brand/design, I might be able to afford one item in their store.

My new special, "20 Years In Comedy and All I Got Was This Lousy Special," comes out in ONE WEEK! Friday, 3/28. Click on this link to join the live premiere at 6 p.m. Mountain, 5 PST. Or just to watch the special when it comes out, at your leisure! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaEV...

I always laugh when I listen to podcasters hype of their guest about how amazing their records are to them. How every aspect moved them in some way… Except for the album art and entire visual representation. Why would we want to talk about the visual side to your heart strings?

Today I got a call from one of best friends telling me of some future plans in the works. Exciting things. Don’t care about the vague posting. The world is a dumpster fire and something made me happy. Cool? Cool.

Musicians want to be comedians. Comedians want to be musicians. Graphic designers want to be either a musician or comedian.

New work :: Artwork for @shambonez.bsky.social new comedy special “Good Night, Sweet Bits.” Out on Burn This Records (presale 3/17) and on Shannon’s YouTube channel 3/27 (follow him for details). Thank you Shannon for letting me be a part of this. It’s a gem baybeee! Stoked for you bud.

Vegas bound.

This is emo night for people who don’t go to emo night.

Photographers spend so much time creating elaborate textured drop cloths for portraits. Then they post renditions where you see the edges/studio space. Just take the extra time and crop/extend your edits correctly.

The older I get in the design world, the more I credit my copy/proofing team for our success. Always get your work proofed.

My special "Comfort Beyond God's Foresight" is out on YouTube, for free, right now! Give it watch, I think you'll love it. Likes and comments are also so helpful. If you have a spare second, that would rule! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L9l...

Hey Tidal music streaming users. • Do you like it? • How is it with Podcasts? • Are we jumping off of it once everything about Jay-Z comes to light? • Is there anyone ethical anymore?

After turning 38, I realized I’m already conditioning myself for my 40’s. For example, today I discovered that I am now a scented candle guy. #UpThePunx

I know I hit the stage of burnt out whenever I put Spanish Love Song’s “Brave Faces Everyone” on repeat.

“Screaming. A million mouths screaming but also laughing the sky will bleed and there shall be a great flensing a burning away of the flesh it is coming there is no way to stop what is coming.”

Got to do the branding for Weights & Measures Records. New label that will house projects for @thekilograms.bsky.social I’m stoked to see the catalog take shape. Also, a reminder to make things with your friends. Your heart will thank you for it.

Ever since TikTok came back I haven’t seen any news of what’s happening overseas.

I just want this account to be a @zerohacker.bsky.social appreciation account. You’re the best Ryan.

*Opens TikTok* Influencer: A couple of people have been asking me where they can find me… Me: Nope. *continues doomscrolling to see the same context over and over again.”

Thank me later. bobatealee.itch.io/doom-the-gal...

Crunching numbers. Making budgets. Ordering merch. Talking to @joemaiocco.bsky.social non stop about designs. Some guy named paul and Pete about ideas. It’s that time of the month again it feels like. Only one this year. Just one.

Listening to the Afghan Whigs while designing my first album cover for a comedy special. Really excited about this one.

This year I am only going to follow one of your social media accounts.

Visual artists: For 2025 can we all stop creating videos where you start with some weird expression on your face and you randomly point to your computer screen? Why?

Every music podcast starts with the host telling the guest “you had one of my favorite records this year.” Then they releases their EOY list and it’s no where to be seen.

What’s your favorite album of 2025 so far?

Lot of beautiful gems on Ray’s playlist. Check it out.
