Green Tea
I love loose green tea. Import it directly from China, India, or Japan if you can. If the tea is tremendously bitter or has an earthy smell, that’s the right stuff.

Beautiful, weird, surreal, and heartbreaking. I think this webcomic is the closest thing to Real Art among all webcomics.

I notice a lot of cool artists and authors sign books when they meet their fans in person.

I'm employed!
I have a temp job doing design work over at the university! Maybe I can work on this whole having only 1.2 years of experience thing! (That was due to the fact that, though I held a job for three years, it was part-time. Blargh! Why didn’t anyone tell me this, hahaha!)

A long over-due animation of an action-y shot I’ve been working for quite a while now. Finally done.

(It was hilarious!…Because it was scary!)
Hi New Friends!
Hello new followers! You guys rock.

Thanks again for following me!

I love this man’s work. He is nice in-person too. I want to have his sense of detail paired with liveliness in my artwork all the time!

This game is now available! The artists (including me!) are working on making new graphics that look more Victorian, but the game is fully functional and I guarantee it is very very fun. One of the system requirements is ‘friends’ so make sure you have some before downloading.
