If there’s a way to tag each one and show the results based on those, you could do both.
She’s gonna team up with Poison Ivy in the next issue
I started playing the Italian game with white, ventured off to London for a while, and spend time back in the Italian game occasionally again.
When playing with the black pieces, I started with Caro Kann and have never looked back! (Or the Slav defense when facing d4 weirdos)
What’s your preferred chess opening when playing white and/or black? …so I can tell you why I hate playing against you.#chess

I’ve switched to chill hop playlists lol. No timer, so I kinda just stop when I’m “done”. Anywhere from 10-30 minutes a night.
Grayscale ink and marker sketch of pro wrestler Rhea Ripley, enraged and screaming at someone
Finally opened one of my Tombow two-packs to ink this Rhea Ripley sketch (shaded with Copic markers). I think I bought those brush pens 3 or 4 years ago. They gasped for air when the cardboard backing tore away.
Anyway, I think I like how they feel, but I’m way out of practice with really real ink.

How new/old is Pickleball? I went for a walk this morning and saw that the city is expanding the park by building a pretty large Pickleball complex (like 12 or so courts).

A mock cassette tape cover done in the style of Pen and Pixel’s 90s/00s style, showing a man dressed as Santa Claus, with a Rottweiler. The title says Kris Blingle: Gift Rapped
We used to make fake rap CD covers, heavily inspired by the legendary Pen and Pixel.
For Christmas, my brother gave me some Steam gift cards tucked in an old cassette tape case, with this as the cover liner 😂🤣
He was the best guy around…
Why use AI when sloppy photoshops are so much more entertaining??

Stylized waist-up digital painting of Rokas Leonavičius, creator of the Ultimate Self Defense Championship
If you haven’t seen Rokas Leonavičius’ ultimate self defense championship, you’re missing out! It’s on YouTube. Whether or not you’ve trained in martial arts, the show is fascinating and eye opening.
Rokas’ own personal journey goes so far beyond what others are willing to admit or accept.
24 copies remain of the limited sketched in version of my first diary comics tome! Thank you so much!!
These are all amazing!!
