A drawing of a Muppet-y Cloud Strife riding on a Big-Bird-like chocobo.

From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

Instead of giving up, I'm now looking into starting my own agency to provide social media, community management, and comms support / consultation to indie games and small businesses. I'm genuinely good at these things and helping indies succeed has always been one of my greatest passions.

Hi everyone! We are looking for animators who will be attending GDC to volunteer as a buddy for our scholarship winners!

We’ll have a small social one evening (on us), & it would mean a ton to our scholars to have someone in the industry to meet & chat with.

Please reach out if you are interested!

GDC is less than two weeks away, so I figure that now is as good a time as any to let people know that I will be in San Francisco that week. Let me know if you want to grab some coffee, lunch, or drinks and catch up!

Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

People are all "why does Mamdani have such energy" and it's one cute trick we call "not being in your late 70s on a series of anti-dimentia drugs while a coterie of assistants and staff members, some of whom are second generation, are trying to turn your it-won-once strategies into a response"?
