I won't lie this took SO many years and was the MOST complicated thing I've ever illustrated. I did all of the artwork in Procreate with like 2 or 3 brushes, I'm unbelievably proud of it.
Thank you, @cameowood.com for believing in me to pull off a project like this, and for making it all possible!

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

Bighorn sheep
Crow
Whitetail deer
Redtail hawk
(I almost put Bison, but I saw them in a wildlife preserve, so not exactly "in the wild")

Yeah, Jack White rocks. And for a sports event he had to do Seven Nation Army. But he also should have done Hotel Yorba.

Making a game/zine and selling and mailing it to people as stamped letter mail feels more like conversation, more like human interaction than any social media platform.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

You know that feeling of a game making you want to immediately design something? THAT.
The curious, playful, and intentionally unfinished Oddfolk left @newmadras.bsky.social completely charmed.
Oddfolk is the most fun you can have with four lines
Warning: can cause game design.
