BWN: Big Backs and Making Friends
Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 131[GREETING GOES HERE] I ate watermelon for breakfast yesterday What's Going OnBackRopeI wrote this fun article on the story of rope and how rope works (there's a cute poem in there too) I thought it would be fun to write, and I needed a mental break. Anyways, here's some of the drawings: Puzzle GameI'm working with someone and we wanted to build a game, so we built it... Ref SearcherLast time I said idk if Mudboard would work out. I think I found one part of the answer: it's not sharp enough. I think I should try to help people find images on your computer better. I built this quick tool that lets you find an image by describing it. It's probably clearer if you watch it. Here's a 1 min explanation video Anyways. Mudboard is actually not doing too badly right now. I'm just impatient :< What I've been thinking aboutI've been thinking a lot about building reputation: I have a lot of things out there and I do a lot of cool things, but (1) there's no one easy way to describe what I do and (2) I'm not finding ways to tell people. How do I build out a public identity that's general enough that I don't get bored, but that is not so general that it's hard for others to relate? So I gotta figure that out lol. Probably means I should be posting on twitter or something. Thank you!I spent the weekend at a retreat for artists where we organized post it notes all day. It was actually really nice! I took a nap one day too. Next Newsletter in 2 Wednesdays! Shop | Previous posts | Main website |

Kind of for the kick of it Here's what the old ones looked like (like 3 years ago?): If you want one, I set up the online store again, but honestly it'll be cheaper for both of us if you just email me. Also if you already bought the older versions, I can simply send one (if I haven't already)...but uh they're 2 inches shorter than the old ones haha. It's cheaper...

I kind of like how it's like a chill place for me to grow and have a place to just draw for the joy of it!

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 148 [GREETING GOES HERE] went to tahoe this weekend! What's Going On 1 Pager Trying to improve my storytelling abilities using shorter stories Book Covers Someone asked me to do some book covers last month. I was a bit surprised with how they turned out Redos I felt like there was a noticeable skill gap between my old work, so I brought a few of them up to speed so my portfolio looks more consistent For context, here are the old ones (from like 3ish years...
