I'm a freelance illustrator and technically I can draw anything but mostly I choose to draw sea animals.

A lemon shark musing on whether their pet sea slug knows love, asking, "You think my hamster loves me?" The purple shark responds with, "Where's its face?"

A shark holding a box of donuts with one already in the mouth.

A seagull, shark, and puffin hanging. They are all best buds hanging out in their best duds.

Let’s be clear: Poverty is a lack of cash, not character.

Progressives Don’t Want David Brooks in Our Movement Anyway

The toxic attitudes of Brooks and others toward poor people are the problem. Direct cash works because it fundamentally trusts people to meet their own needs.

Quick ones today, but stay tuned for the follow up.

Ink brush pen sketch of an ‘a‘o, a Hawaiian black and white seabird soaring with its wings spread out.

A marker and colored pencil drawing of a white lighthouse with a red roof. It is shining forward at the viewer, and there are three sets of angel wings on the top.

Two trans lesbians hugging. Word bubbles read "at least we have each other" "yeah".

A minimum wage worker giving a sandwich to a friend struggle-busing. Otter says "this is all I have" to which the shark says "I owe you one" while the otter replies "you can NEVER owe me anything".

A minimum wage worker taking out the trash and giving a pep talk to the manager's son.

Whale shark friend says "they're all put of popcorn shrimp". Lemon shark crushes a drink and says "what?"

Mole crab! 🦀🪏 (Emerita species) On the beach in the Bay Area, most folks are walking dogs or watching surfers. My head is in the sand 😅 Remembering my childhood trying to dig under these guys before they could burrow away. Beautiful animals…this one was baking in the sun, still alive but barely. 💔

Side view of a mole crab, teardrop-shaped with a dappled shell, in my fingers.

I get a picture of the mail going to my address in my email inbox from USPS Informed Delivery then when it should be in my mailbox it isn't there at all... I don't know what I should do. This has been going on for weeks. I went to the post office and they shrugged saying "it might still show up".

Portland Indie Game Squad @pigsquad.com · 22h

Huge thanks to @marlowedobbe.com for the design, we're so excited to get another shirt out! All proceeds go towards our booth costs, equipment, and showcaser meals at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo :)

This is what the shirt looks like when you put it on btw:

A hanging skeleton prop wearing the new Portland Indie Game Squad shirt. A stacked pumpkin decoration and the Mario Bros 1993 movie poster accompany the skeleton on either side.

- To run CSP you might need to set the windows version to 8.1 and use the concrt140 library override. You can do this using the `winecfg` command in the "Applications" and "Libraries" tabs (there are console commands for this too).

This has been my last few days, so some notes if you're going on a Linux+CSP journey:

- Install the latest version of Wine! The one in your distro provides is likely outdated, check here to install it correctly: gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/...
