I have nearly memorized the current available jobs on Linkedin, Indeed, Hitmaker, etc...
I am now at the point where I am scanning google maps, looking at every local company's website to see if they are hiring.

A few more examples of my work working:

“You’re out of your element, Guardian!”

Been siphoning mine for close to 14…

“Hey man. You ok?”

It has been so fun getting better and better!
#woodcarving #woodburning

Sweet lord. Awesome!
May I use this drawing as a template for a bas-relief/ woodburning project?

Even MOAR art pieces!
Playing with bookmarks as well!

Oh Hey!
The world is burning around us, so I have been burning more wood!
(hehehehe)
Check out some more pieces!

Most are for sale. 😘

Just this peek at peak vocabulary has piqued my interest in language!

ICE = Evil.
No excuses. No forgiveness.

You cast your lot with monsters. I have no sympathy.

I dare you to.

Nothing like re-reading the "thank you" note you sent to a recruiter (after 4 levels of interviews) and realizing you misspelled the name of one of the hiring managers.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I’m running low on white pancake foundation.

Sweet Jeebus.
Let’s call that year a mulligan.

Mad Max: Frozen Road

May I be added? I’m working on getting back in.

🤌🤌🤌

And Merry Christmas, gamedevs ❤️

No.

All I want for Christmas is a job offer.

You don’t have to change the world.

It’s enough to do one thing well, and work towards doing it better each day.

I have been exploring bas relief carving and wood burning for the last 6 months, and it has been wonderful.

Most shockingly, I have sold multiple pieces!

Still have a bunch of work to do, but I think this is turning out pretty good!

The ability to stab counts as “stability”, right?

“I don’t want to be forced to design a new ship.
I want to sail a well built ship expertly.”

-Me in every interview where they talk about “getting to build your own role”

Yeah, I may have to make a few of those.

A few more in progress and preliminary sketches for this current carving fascination:
