It is unorthodox, but I've released the digital files for JANUARY for free on itch.io before our Kickstarter has even ended! That's for two reasons - the game is done, AND I think you'll see the value of this as a beautiful, tactile and physical object. itch link here: sawdustbear.itch.io/january

The people who pledged for the original art tiers for JANUARY are in for a treat because Jared's collages are actually even cooler in person. The depth! The detail!

when i was 14, i had a Gargoyles OC named Psyche and now over two decades later, it just occurred to me that I could have done a little nod to my own initials and named her Psyke, which would have been an even cooler name for an OC you have when you are 14.

Thread, and also a reminder to go read/watch @shing.bsky.social’s “MAKE LITTLE GUYS: a (very brief) manifesto”. www.patreon.com/posts/make-l...

Uhhh, Jared brought over his collages yesterday and they are SO GOOD?! You've got about one week to get in on this preorder!

Hey, I'm teaching a class! Sign up to join this two-part online workshop in June through @pocosinarts to learn about my approach to narrative sculpting, how I construct, refine, & hollow a piece, + my tools and techniques for creating tiny finishing details! pocosinarts.org/product/big-...

I was really committed to a "do it in pre" approach to this film and am happy to announce that one of our only significant post VFX was adding pixelated dick to a shadow puppet. thank you, @lanawolverton.bsky.social

taking apart our puppet film sets and rebuilding some into smaller "self crating" boxes for my thesis exhibition!

The most helpful any everyday technology has ever been is GMail's "You wrote 'Attached is' but no files are attached." reminder and I don't need any tech to be more intelligent than that.

This feels like a very Bluesky coded question : does anyone know of an existing off-the-shelf case that fits an Olivetti Lettera well and snugly? The sturdier, the better - it's likely gonna travel a bit. (I have an OG case but it is in not great shape!)

Genuinely wish this was real because my puppet pals would have a field day. "You WISH you were good enough to make it up to the left hand of the puppet, Timmy."

Hey PDX pals! I am seeking recs for Portland, OR dessert spots (or restaurants with great dessert) that are intertwined/working with the local food justice community. (to be hired for an event - not asking them for money)

Attention Worldcon community—we just realized that the nominating period is open for this year's Hugo Awards. We have been finalists twice before (2016, 2017) and our 2025 album Dead Channel Sky—a dystopian cyberpunk rap rave—is eligible in the Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) category

new gorillaz day mostly an excuse to revisit the greatest tweet ever made

We are one week into the JANUARY campaign and it has been great. We are sending this to print immediately at campaign close and shipping once the books hit the warehouse(thanks, @whitesquirrel.com !), so you'll get this game real soon! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

note also: if you are hungry for a fresh and historically-informed take on Paul Bunyan, you are legally required to check out @shing.bsky.social's Legend of Auntie Po www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/601780...

I played a delightful game of ALL-CARDS with @geoffreygolden.bsky.social using a deck pulled from the Strange Beast Tarot, @jameybash.bsky.social's Tarot of Sorts and Alexander Burden's Tarot Obscura!

I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

Just launched: Press Pot Games' Mini Handmade #TTRPG #Zine Anthology Bundle In this, you can grab a bundle of 4, single-sheet, 8-fold zines, hand folded by me! Or you can grab a PDF and print on your own. You'll find games about a cat, a mosh pit, and a revolution. It's my love letter to my past.

I am very often asked for my crowdfunding advice and my best advice is really to just make things that are an accurate representation of your voice as an artist, don't make people wait too long to get them, and do it really consistently. two out of three might even be enough, but it will take years.

a few weeks ago, i said to my partner that I wasn't going to support anymore kickstarters this year. the week following, shing said they were launching this. i have a personal obligation to support literally anything shing does, so. you should get this.

We've hit over 12k in the last 24 hours, and I won't spend the next 30 days yelling about this game! We've made a beautiful game in an interesting and tactile format about keeping on when the world feels at the brink of existential collapse. I hope you will support us!

Breaking my observance to say this is exactly where my head is right now, & I’m excited to support my own distant artist-friend again with this project.

I used to post my little outfits all the time! Now, I usually dress like a cute boy or an old man.

We are launching this game, JANUARY, on Friday. It is a game about keeping persistent and distant friendships in a kaiju-ridden world, about ordinary people living their lives in the face of impending horrors. I am so happy at the art @supercoolspyclub.bsky.social and I have made for this book.

this gorgeous print by Sophie Wang and @cynthiaycheng.bsky.social commissioned by Katie Wang is the energy I am entering this new year (of the horse) with!!! wangshuf.bigcartel.com/product/towa...?

I am interested in the history of Paul Bunyan in a completely neurotypical way.

I'm going through documentary footage by @juleshotz.bsky.social to pull some stills out for my process artbook and I'm crying at how beautiful and competent my friends and crew are!!! They are so cool!!! I love making things with them!!

🌼My new game is here!🥀 "She danced in the wind like a holographic dream before the world died." alienmelon.itch.io/flower A game poem and interactive fiction about The End. You play the very last flower left on Earth, bringing peace to long dead soil. #IndieGame #VideoGame #GamePoem #Game

I would follow only the menswear guy and @hels.bsky.social, which would assure me that I'd be kept updated on the latest on Japanese chore coats and gourmet potatoes.

This morning, I was able to help identify a painting painted by WB Laughead, who was essential to spreading the Paul Bunyan myth, including providing a chain of provenance with date of sale and I don't think I'll ever have this kind of highly specific art history high again.

I offered to be a friend's flirting sidekick today before I remembered the word WINGMAN.

My games workshops do not usually feature this many puppets, but you can always request a puppet show-and-tell to accompany your games workshops! Thank you, @uclagames.bsky.social , I had an absolute blast!!!

maybe they should use ring cameras

AI couldn't fuckin' do this. 1. carve half of my thumbnail off. 2. hopelessly tangle strings during multi-puppet scenes. 3. have a tail fall off during a pivotal scene. 4. break an ear.

this comic is so so good, Henry is one of the best historical fiction writers in comics!!

hey look at my puppets

The Last Fifteen Minutes film Kickstarter is still open for late pledges. We're a union shoot and doing things like "paying health insurance benefits for our non-SAG actors who can't even claim it"! I'm very pro-union, but praxis is costing us a lot of money! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

I am all in for basically anything/everything Shing does, but this is 100% relevant to my postcarding interests.

secret late night announcement. I'm launching later this month, in collaboration with illustrator @supercoolspyclub.bsky.social, JANUARY : a postcard writing game for two people, set in a kaiju-filled alternate history, about distant but persistent friendships.

Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed A HALF MILLION whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

A neighbor asked me if I knew where to get a free whistle. I asked for a bunch from @dansinker.com's whistle crew and put bowls of them out at my workshop and apt courtyard, and my neighbors are taking them and we're talking together about anti-ICE actions.

hey, so @geoffreygolden.bsky.social is one of my fave designers in the field of Impeccable Vibes and Weird Funny Stuff and this game that uses...well, whatever trading cards you've got - is gonna be worth your time!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dev...

you know what time it is. another valentines day right around the corner, another set of indie tabletop rpg valentines

@superyates.bsky.social love love love the motel art book!! thank you!!

I'm not saying that I want to write a Neopets TTRPG, just that I am exceptionally qualified to do so, with writing awards that include 2 Indiecade awards, a National Book Award finalist medal, the Eisner and Ignatz awards, and 50 NEOPIAN TIMES TROPHIES.
