The layout of this apartment is very similar to the one I had as a student in Kyoto 25 years ago (though this one's about 4 times bigger for gameplay purposes!)

Made a new shop for sketchbook PDFs! Each one is roughly 75 pages full of doodles, and I’ll be adding a couple more sketchbooks soon! Link below and in my bio for anyone interested :-)

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

The Figure in Concrete stands on a rocky outcrop. Russian Sage grows out of the rock and out of the Figure's body. The rock and the figure's belly are pierced by great rusted chains. The figure is breaking of the of the chains, sparks flying. Behind them stands a mech carrying an upright glaive. Their shield is massive. It's shadows are purple. In the pastel sky is shattering glass, The Witch in glass smiles on the left side of the glaive, the Devil's Two Front Teeth on the right. Chimera's Lantern is lit.

Three little reptilian guys careen through the air with urban detritus. A car, a bin, a power line to which one clings desperately. Behind them in the clouds a colossal serpent whips through the sky, it's fleshy triangular mouth opens, eyelessly, towards them.

A kneeling armoured figure cups their hands together to catch blood poured from the wrist of a witch standing above them. Blood is spattered over their face and armour. The witch wears a massive headgear from which an umbilical of bloody tubes attach her to an abstract blob of blood, fraying into hexagonal strands and baby faces.

A robed figure wearing a tassled face mask. Each hand raises 3 fingers. She is surounded by a circular rune which features 15 circles and in each circle is an item. A clay figure, a skull, a staff, a tome, a kris, an orb etc.

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.
