Ugh.

Those two…

Congratulations🎊

today arrived my copy of @rynling 'Ruins' zine, for which I had the honor of drawing the cover artwork. 💚

absolutely stunning works inside, full of solarpunk vibes and "the people and places left behind after the world has moved on" 🌻

it's just a phase

But I know. I think it was me.

In my defense I never intended to start a rumor. Many years ago I worked as a cleaner at the school and one evening I had to transport one of those big floor washing machines from the basement to the second level via the elevator. When the doors opened a very confused looking man stood inside. He was one of those slicked back gym-bro IT guys and made no movement to get out. The elevator wouldn’t fit him, me and the machine so I asked “Where are you going? Up or down?”

He gave me a smug shit-eating grin and said “Down?” in a mocking tone.

It took me a second to realize that of course he wasn’t going down, we were in the basement, but his look and tone annoyed me so much I refused to admit I misspoke and instead said “Yeah, down. I don’t know if you’re going to the second basement”

His smile disappeared “There’s a second basement?”

“Yeah but it sounds like you don’t have access to it so I guess you’re going up? I’ll just wait”

I never thought of it as anything other than a funny story to tell about that time I got so annoyed with a guy that I invented an entire second basement, but it turns out he probably refused to believe a cleaner fooled him and the story spread.

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

Last batch of doodles.

I saw Balthier in Dissidia Duellum and I had to try my version of Fran.
