we've got PEAK goods at Fangamer now, and I designed this shirt! 🔥 www.fangamer.com/collections/...
Three of the player character from the game "Peak" are sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows, There's a happy ghost floating behind them looking at the marshmallows, drooling. A large logo for "Peak" makes up the background. Orange, green, and beige inks on a black T-shirt.

I've also been designing merch for novels through The Merch Guild! I've done a few, but here's a cute one I drew for Legends & Lattes
themerchguild.com/collections/...
A tall green-skinned female orc covered in scars is serenely pouring coffee out of a carafe into a mug. A shorter red-skinned female tiefling with horns and a devil tail is holding a tray with a cinnamon bun and coffee, looking fondly back at the orc. A child-sized rat below them is holding up a tray of freshly baked cinnamon buns with oven mitts on. They're all standing behind a table holding various coffee-making tools and a basket of bread. Behind them are shelves of coffee-related dishware and jars of coffee beans. A wooden sign reads "Legends & Lattes." Everything is drawn in a flat, graphic cartoony style in warm colours against a yellow background. Photo of a man with tattoos wearing the aforementioned artwork on a T-shirt.

reposting since I don't talk about my non-Fangamer work very often: @criticalrole.bsky.social hoodie designs I drew in '22 and '23
Seven members of the Bells Hells D&D adventuring party, drawn from the shoulder up, depicted in teal colours surround the purple Bells Hells official crest. Purple ornamental leaves fill out the empty spaces. Black background. Eight members of the Mighty Nein D&D adventuring party, drawn from the shoulder up, depicted in light blue-grey colours surround the gold Mighty Neigh official crest (designed by Crystal Sharp). Gold burst lines fill out the empty spaces. Navy background.

spent some leftover gift card bucks on this wonderful movie with a godawful cover
Blu-ray of "Riders of Justice." Tagline: "Someone is going to pay." The cover art features a bearded Mads Mikkelsen in a military camo uniform. Behind him are some guys on motorbikes, with an explosion in the distance. The whole thing makes it feel like some conservative action movie for dads, which betrays the actual movie

new Deltarune poster by me! Chapter 3! My other ones were like movie posters, but this time I wanted it to look like an ad for a game show (though I was largely inspired by Japanese variety programs, which are often mistaken for game shows anyway)
www.fangamer.com/collections/...
Mr. Tenna is in the center, speaking into a mic and pointing at something off-screen. Behind him are Cowboy Kris, Chef Ralsei, and Rockstar Susie. A large Rouxls looms largely in the background, holding Elnina and Lanino in the palm of his hand. Flowers and confetti are scattered throughout the image. Small depictions of minor enemies can be seen here and there.

while trying to explain the "almost Christmas" meme to the Ace Attorney dev team, I searched for screenshots and discovered that line is weirdly missing in the Japanese HD releases!
Screenshot of the English Nintendo DS release of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Phoenix is saying "'Almost Christmas' means it wasn't Christmas!" Screenshot of the Japanese GBA/DS release of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Phoenix/Naruhodo is saying in Japanese, "'Christmas is almost here'... in other words, it wasn't Christmas yet." Screenshot of the Japanese HD release of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Phoenix/Naruhodo is saying in Japanese, "'Christmas is almost here'... which means -- do you get it now?!"

if you go to a Pokemon Center in Japan and tell them it's your birthday month, they give you a special card. They told me to use this as a background for taking photos of a plush or toy. Does high-end Japanese whiskey count as a toy? Thanks to @bobservo.bsky.social for the birthday flowers! 🎂
Kamiji pure malt whiskey poured in front of a Pokemon "Happy Birthday" standee A nice bouquet of flowers Bob got me for my birthday, with the standee in front

accidentally created a shoebill manzai duo
Two capsule toys of shoebill storks with a capsule toy of a mic on a stand. One of the shoebills is looking at the other one, which has its wings and bill open. "Manzai" is a form of Japanese stand-up comedy usually consisting of two people doing humorous banter, where one is the straight man and one is the clown

beautiful sights, food edition, featuring some of the best tuna sashimi I've ever had in my life
Freshly panfried gyoza topped with with ume (sour plum) and shiso (perilla leaf) from Pariking in Kanazawa. This was filled with the usual pork, but they had vegetarian and vegan options Kushikatsu (lightly breaded meats and vegetables deep-fried on skewers). At Arata Kushikatsu in Tokyo Slices of raw tuna at Musashi, an izakaya in Kanazawa Black ramen at Ramen Jigen in Takaoka, a regional type of ramen.

I love CoCo Ichibanya so much that I captured their mascot to take home with me
Necoichi, the mascot of the Japanese curry chain CoCo Ichibanya. It's a cat that's half white, half brown, like a plate of curry rice. There's a deep fried breaded pork cutlet on its head. A mini plush of Necoichi that I put in a clear vinyl pouch

we didn't recognize Kojima at first because he's not in a T-shirt
A poster featuring Hideo Kojima wearing an untucked white dress shirt, smiling at the camera. This is plastered all over the Parco department store in Japan. The English text says "SPECIAL IN YOU" and the Japanese text is a message from Kojima, talking about talent and effort and the power of curiosity. We're not sure what this has to do with a department store
