Toad walked on the high wire.

“Frog,” cried Toad, “can you do tricks like this?”

Imagine, you are buzzing after the last sip of your third Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc. You just met a lovely retiree whose daughter-in-law is going to phone you about the condo in Hallandale. You walk up to my tent, I smile at you. I have Golgotha loaded up in Classic.

Cold email from marketer:
"Good morning Jason, are you or Brian Bucklew the right person to speak with about influencer partnerships?

We recently signed on as the exclusive influencer partner for the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, activating creators across 35 of their events."

Beyond being a beautiful book that I love with all my heart, Keezy is an incredible writer + artist and combines those skills into something that could *only* exist as a graphic novel.

Please support this book and, importantly, support Keezy. They deserve all the good things.

It was an honor to be interviewed by the brilliant @simonparkin.bsky.social on one of my favorite podcasts.

(and just ignore my opinion on Goldeneye, my equivalent of a a negative Steam review that opens with “8,000 hours played”)

I'm holding a NaNoWriMo event in my narrative discord again this year, and I'm seeking prizes for the winners' raffle. I'm chipping in a book and game, but more prizes are needed. If you have any work (books, games, papers, etc.) you'd be willing to donate, please let me know. Thank you!

weird painting to test out my new inking pen ☀️

watercolor painting- a woman kneels behind a bush, carrying an approximation of an antique musket/rifle (I did not look at reference for this one so the shape is a bit off lol sorry everybody!). She is wearing a wildly impractical but fun outfit- a high cut onepiece with baggy ankle boots, a helmet and a big swan hat/cape.

The lower level of the Nintendo Museum features games, both analog and video, that commemorate Nintendo’s past. But you won’t be able to play them all! So which ones are actually GOOD?
