I am one of those increasing this statistic. I wasn’t lucky to get cancer but was lucky to get symptoms to catch it early enough. Get checked!

Great to hear research is progressing and thanks @scishow.bsky.social for the vid.

Glad to be in remission. Still getting a ton of scans and tests to make sure it stays gone, the process never ends.

Once it’s in there it’s tough to get ‘em out.

What is the zine about? And are you taking submissions? If so, and I have anything in that wheelhouse, I'd like to contribute.

Working on a zine I had forgotten I made a little preorder page for, then never promoted. Well a couple people found it so I gotta get moving.

I’ve been so off on posting on here that I never really posted this. If you see Mango Ride on shelves in Aldi (in the US anyway) I did the packaging illustration for it!

That’s reasonable.

Sending out my new Pak Pak catalogs to backers also means I’ve got a bunch of item or character illustrations I’ve just been sitting on. Feels a little odd to share them out of context but also I like them. Once I get these preorders finished I’ll be making this catalog available.

Just got my Pak Pak Shop Shop zines delivered and they turned out great! I kickstarted these last year and it feels great to get these in hand. It is a catalog of ttrpg items you can put in your games from a dodgy dog kobold. Looking forward to having them at events.

Oh wow, I worked there while I was in college. The discount was nice to have as an art student. I liked the actual framing but I remember anything to do with corporate was a pain and some of the customers were awful.

Rob Armbrister @artbrister.bsky.social · Nov 18

Hi! i’m up for commiserating! It’s been a long time since I worked there.

Forgot to share when it went live. I Got to create this mascot character for a new auto shop cleaning product called Spill-o-matic. Fun to work on niche products like this!

Cartons of spill-o-matic showing the front and back of the packaging that feature the mascot, an anthropomorphic version of the carton itself.

The illustration of the mascot, an anthropomorphic carton walking with a confident slightly angry expression.

A carton of spill-o-matic on a garage floor next to a spill with the product spread around it.

Hello new followers! (and old followers) i’ve been quiet on here recently. Turns out going through cancer treatment takes up a lot of time and energy. However, I was lucky enough, and feeling good enough, to complete a mural this summer. Biggest one I’ve done!
