Anyone else always read her name and see this guy every time? Is my brain that broken?

“Brandon, are you ok? You look so serious”

Sorry, just thinking about something very important to me

We got a really excellent show lined up for @thirstforadventure.bsky.social tomorrow and if you're in Chicago, you should go but check out how dope this character portrait came out I did for one of our players. I love her!

Not a joke post and shout out to @hoofprintchicago.bsky.social for the amazing shirt that’s been in heavy rotation for years

Happy Godzilla day, I draw Godzilla a lot and the art I make is always very serious and very good

My final Songtober drawing request goes to my youngest daughter Mina. Anytime we get in the car, she request the song "Bouncing Balls" by the Wiggles and it brings her so much joy. I included her favorite Wiggle, Tsehay, and this feels like a good way to close out October. Hope you enjoyed!

Got two Songtober requests I am posting today to finish out October! The first is from #1 Joe Dante fan @slime420.bsky.social for Evelyn by Hermit. Really enjoyed this song but going with the literal blue robes and white ring opening lyrics, pictured some sort of dryad lady as well

Got a neat Songtober request from Daniel J. Kim for Fire Sermon by Dawn Ray'd. A nice bit of black metal to add to the list, I imagined a tree fire demon but also might come from playing Commander with some friends last night and thinking I should build a Gruul deck eventually

Getting two posts in today for my Songtober drawings. The first one comes from good buddy Martin F. for Dance Music by the Mountain Goats: a pretty dark song with a fun beat but wanted to capture that line "Lean in close to my little record player on the floor. So this is what the volume knob's for"

Post something random or you’ll have an awful November (sure, I'll do two of these today)

I had a very unique request for today's Songtober drawing from @teezan.bsky.social for the track "Into the Night" from the Fate/Stay Night OST. It's a series I am not familiar with but the track had a real trance like beat to it so I just went with what entered my head after a few listens. Fun!

For today's Songtober drawing, I had good pal @helloitshobert.bsky.social recommend the song Vaping on the Job by Dougie Poole and pictured an evil cloud of vape smoke surrounding someone sleeping on the job. I would like to clarify that work is evil and not vaping itself, which I am neutral on

This is from my Tarot card drawings I did last year and I just love her, I should draw her more

It was my friend Ryan’s b-day yesterday so I had him give me a Songtober request and he specifically wanted Brian David Gilbert’s Lay All Our Blood on Me. Brought back the Queen of Wand Bat from last year too!

I got in my daughter's Songtober request which was Do the Propeller by the Wiggles. She let me know it was important that I drew her and Caterina together with Dorothy in the airplane.

Very excited that this will be the best part of my day tomorrow showing her this

Oh this is neat, reminds me of the Orphnoch designs from Kamen Rider Faiz

The songtober request today comes from James H. for Deadhead by the Devin Townsend Band. The song has a heavy, monstrous sound to it so I went with the same feeling for the sketch

Every time I drop my kids off at daycare, I pass by this painting and I can feel it siphoning off a bit of my soul each time
October 23, 2025 at 4:16 PM
For today's Songtober it's a request from ME to draw the Mummy by Benji Hughes which is arguably the best Halloween song ever written. When the mummy gets drunk he unravels

Getting smarter at not posting my Songtober drawings at 1 AM that day and waiting for the next. Here is Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division requested by
@ormur.bsky.social. I have always loved gnarly imagery and pomegranates.

Also turns out I got 3 spots left if anyone wants to request!

Really enjoyed @wolfteeth.bsky.social requesting My Blue Heaven for songtober since it has so many versions and iterations. I went with Gene Austin's rendition of the song and love how warm it felt. Got a little abstract with it!

Also posting this now since I finished it at midnight last night

Had a very unexpected request of Excαlibur by Mili from @andrewliden.bsky.social for today's Songtober drawing prompt and I really got in the zone. Especially loving the image of a powerful and mighty lil' astronaut
