Today is August 17th - Threddy’s birthday!!

Eight years ago, I walked into a studio with my family and painted a ceramic dinosaur.

Threddy turned into a project with t-shirts and stickers and enamel pins and comics and even more ceramic dinosaurs.

It’s been a lot of fun. 🦖

The July wallpaper on projectbluefin.io is probably my favorite. This is a scene in the Cretaceous -- love Bluefin hiding behind the rock!

My mom passed away unexpectedly yesterday and I’m not ok.

I keep bouncing between deep grief and stunned shock. I didn’t sleep last night, and I feel hungover today.
When is the last time you called your mom?

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, friends. Pick up the phone and tell her you love her.

“Multiple B-2 stealth bombers — capable of carrying 30,000-pound "bunker-busters" — were detected heading west across the Pacific on Saturday, as speculation mounted that the U.S. would strike Fordow.”

Not very stealthy, I guess.
