John Robert Matz I write music for games. Also, films. Also, bands and orchestras. I write music for everything. And you can't get it out of your head.

It’s #BandcampFriday again, friends!

I'm joining the amazing @jeremiahroque.com and @zdmajor7.bsky.social to sing and lead everyone in singing together some of our favorite VGM songs. We hope to see you Saturday evening of con.

Cream white belly crocheted and pinned to yoshi body bodice. To the right, a thin green strip of goblin green yarn crocheted and attached to the white with stitch markers and pinned to the body. Hanging on the rack behind we see two gloves hanging and part of the mask. On the floor is one completed shoe and a foam shoe waiting for crochet

Finished the first green panel of the bodice. Took a break to finish the second shoe since the yarn came in

Thank you!

sorry to disappoint.

Yes! I am crocheting it. I started on the head back in June '24 and have been working on it off and on since then. I want to debut it at a con coming up in April, so started working on it more diligently.

a calendar for my stream schedule. the background is light green. the calendar days have yellow, blue, purple, and pink color backgrounds. A drawing of my cat Orangey, an orange cat smiling. At the bottom is a picture of a green frog stuffy and a cream frog stuffy wearing a pink cowboy hat. It reads: March 2026, March 4 - 9am croshi, March 4 - 7pm music and art collab with avo, March 8- 9am new music, March 11 - 9am croshi , March 13-22 spring break unscheduled streams, March 25 - 9am mini build, March 27 -7PM music requests, March 29 - 9am music requests

This month on stream is one for rest and crafting.

This will be a Yoshi cosplay

It’s not the best picture but we’re looking at one of the shoulders. The foam is resting on a duct tape dummy.

Gorgeous

Showing my progress of crocheting a front panel in goblin green premier chunky yarn. Stitch markers hold it next to the finished cream color crochet- the belly of Yoshi. Foam under body below. Two crocheted arms hang behind

Had a chance to start the front green panel. Trial and error since I’m not looking at a pattern. I’ll trim the foam so it has a slope under the yarn

super short stream cause it's a very sleepy saturday. big shouts to my friends @retzel.bsky.social and dianthalikesyellow for joining me on the island

Trying out the slumber island once again today on stream. Gonna have some timer fun with it. www.twitch.tv/nalaniproctor

Fog Winter Balsam Jade by Half Waif Acoustic Cover YouTube video by Nalani Proctor

I've been gentle parenting myself into making more videos (or any at all) and I'm very proud of putting out one today. "Fog Winter Balsam Jade" by Half Waif feels good to sing. It has a sort of healing resonance for me. I hope you'll check it out youtu.be/Ow90Pl0j67A
