Of course I want to support the artists who work at Riot, and of course there's nothing wrong with people who enjoy tft; I hold no judgement towards anyone who plays tft for fun
My personal experience with the game broke me--I wanted to be more productive, but I couldn't pull myself away for hours
What I hated the most about that game was the culture around playing for accomplishment; I remember this one youtuber who was talking about how to climb the rank ladder, and he said something along the lines of "when you play ranked, you don't play for fun"--then what am I playing tft for??
I'm actually planned for Japan in September :(, but I hope you and Lena have the best time at BitSummit!!
I almost redownloaded it last night. The temptation was just too strong. What scared me the most was how easy and right it felt to just think about downloading it again.
I want to progress in life. I don't want tft to reduce me to a mindless drone again. I can't lose any more time.
Right now I am fighting the most painful urge to get back into TFT. That game took 5 years of my life in exchange for 500+ meaningless and miserable 8th place games—time I could’ve used to improve in any of my other productive hobbies
I’m genuinely kind of scared of relapsing. I can’t go back
Last week, I also found a bee that was the exact shape of an f-22 raptor on the inside of my door, and as soon as I went back inside he was gone. I think he's still in my home somewhere
Hope the bee in your kitchen finds a way out though
Heck—I still feel unworthy of being friends with some of artist friends I know here, because they’re all such truly cool people, and I feel too lucky to be able to say that I know them
I just came to the realization that there are so many amazing artists here in Vancouver, who are also pretty cool people, and I wish I could get to know some of them.
Although, same thing I have with music school, I think I’d feel unworthy of being near them, with how skilled some of them are
I don’t mean to slander my current irl friends either, because some of them are genuinely really cool and kind people, and I’m more than happy to be acquainted with them; some of the people I met in music school as well are so talented, that I almost feel unworthy being in the same room as them
Also there aren’t many opportunities for me to talk about art with my current irl friends—I feel like if I told them about the stuff I draw, they’d: A. Think I’m a gross creep, or B. Think I’m a shallow/pretentious “artist” with no potential, who doesn’t actually want to do anything professional
Aside from making a career out of it, one of the biggest reasons I wanted to go to art school was because I wanted to make some more artist friends that were in my area
Not to take my artist friends here for granted though--I'm more than grateful to know them. I just wish the distance wasn’t so bad
It's great that they're rebuilding the greenway path, but my goodness do those detours look incovenient. Reminds me of Broadway lol
Not to be inconsiderate to the construction workers, but I hope the construction on 41st Ave makes some quick progress!
I have got to draw more Superman
Always encourage your artists. Juniors, mid range, seniors, leads or supervisors. A kind word or an excited reaction when they do well is the cherry on top. That shit goes a long way.
Felt plush of Billie
Felt plush of Billie but from behind
My wife is the best. She made this adorable felt plushie of Billie for me.
It’s supa cute!!!
If you haven’t yet, follow her. She makes cute stuff: @stacyjeansie.bsky.social
Though I can never be as good a person as the Man of Tomorrow, his humanity encourages me to try
Happy Superman Day!!!
Ever since My Adventures with Superman and Superman (2026), Big Blue’s given me nothing but hope; With every life he’s rushed to care for, it inspires me to be a better person and extend that kindness to others.
I wonder if Alfa Romeo still remembers the tiger effect—it’d be really funny if they integrated the tiger effect into their interior screens lol
Regardless, the Alfa Romeo game was pretty cool; the mechanics were unique, and now I’m curious about looking into more racing games
Climbing trees
Loving the attention Cassidy's been getting lately!! She's honestly really cute, and her little adventures in her comics were a fun read!!
If I may ask, does she have any association with your other ocs like Aubrey or Steph?
Drawing chibi Ascari was really fun, but also made me really wish I could’ve gotten an Ascari plush, while they were still available
Aw man, I really wish I could help with those bills; sorry I can’t afford a comm this time :(
Best of luck with those bills though!! Hope you get enough commissions to take care of those bills and the dishwasher!!
COMMISSIONS OPEN
Got some unexpected bills and a dishwasher repair to take care of, so I can take on some extra comms rn!
As always, email me your references and info to ndasfw(at)gmail.com and I'll respond asap!
Big group commission I'm currently painting!
Oh the wooden panels on the side are such a classic!! Why did they stop making jeeps like those??
Also I wonder if you can still even find cars like these anymore

I really couldn’t give less of a shit about Star Wars, but it’s funny how intense hatred of The Last Jedi is a really solid litmus test for being a huge insufferable asshole or pedantic dork ass incel
