Reading a sci-fi anthology and a new mystery, watching Taskmaster and Traitors, still playing Zelda. This post was delayed by a request from a job I applied to that I submit video recorded answers to generic interview questions. It threw off my day plan.

So, we made the best of it and headed for lunch at...

It knows Terminator, and I have no mouth and I must scream, and HAL 9000. It knows that basically never have we had a major piece of pop culture where the sentient robot is...
It’s the last day of July and it’ll be the first month this year where I won’t be posting any new artwork, because I haven’t been able to finish anything. And that’s… fine?I try my best to finish at least one new piece every month. Emphasis on try. And for the most part that’s something I’m able to accomplish. But...
