Animatic: Twinny for Gas

A YouTube header image, but it says YerTerb.

What, you don’t mentally paste players’ faces onto characters when they use their regular speaking voices? That’s just me? As a fellow Southerner, I can verify that CaseOh is pronouncing “twenty” correctly. Don’t let the Yankees tell you otherwise.

Living Worlds Rediscovered

Digital art of a mountain overlooking a pine forest and clear lake.

Many, many years ago, I came across gorgeous animated GIFs and the website they were inspired by: Canvas Cycle: True 8-bit Color Cycling with HTML5. (Sound warning: may be loud!) For years, I wondered how this internet magic was done, but viewing the source of the HTML provided no solution. I couldn’t make heads or…

Thoughts, More or Less: Episode 1

A stylized version of Ellie sits with a cup of coffee in the middle of a purple background.

This shit better show up, I’m sick of copying and pasting the link over and over. An audiovisual experiment I’ve thought about doing for a while now. I think I prefer this to live streaming, even if it was a pain to figure out what codec wouldn’t make YouTube gripe about “incorrect formats”, even if…

Animatic in Progress: Twinny for Gas

Header: A desk covered in zine supplies: washi tape rolls, scissors, printer paper, markers, and tape. On the zine is a line drawing of a mushroom. In the lower right corner is the title, I See You.

I’m maybe halfway done with this. This animatic was a surprise even for myself, considering I’ve never watched this streamer before. On a whim, I checked out a VOD of his, found a moment after clicking through the video, and started imagining a slightly different set of circumstances. I’m having fun, and I hope future…

Comic PSA: Don’t Poke

Header: A desk covered in zine supplies: washi tape rolls, scissors, printer paper, markers, and tape. On the zine is a line drawing of a mushroom. In the lower right corner is the title, I See You.

Here’s a bit of incomprehensible horror for your day. Ah, don’t worry, New Jerseyians are a tough lot. They’ll probably give the creature its own reality show in the hopes of boosting tourism. The last comic looked rather smooth and clean. Nothing wrong with that, but I want a slightly grungy feel to these, just…

In Progress: Animatic

Header: A desk covered in zine supplies: washi tape rolls, scissors, printer paper, markers, and tape. On the zine is a line drawing of a mushroom. In the lower right corner is the title, I See You.

In an effort to get into the habit of updating on projects, here is a screenshot with no context. Maybe this project will be better received than a short story.

Writing and Coding and Planning

Soft clouds of pink alcohol inks with some golden lines for effects. Some text in the lower right corner reads, I couldn't think of a better image, so enjoy some alcohol inks.

Or My Brain Has Somehow Survived an Onslaught of Words These have been a busy past couple of weeks. I’ll spare you the gory details and just provide the text below: I’m working on three different websites: one for my tarot practice, another for my story projects, and the last one for research (you’ll see).…

Inklenook: Shoestring Budget

A YouTube header image, but it says YerTerb.

From the description on the Inklenook channel: Maybe the ones with glitter threads woven in yield a higher return on investment. It’s funny because it’s literal. (Yes, I know the short is blown up on this blog, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m sure it looks better on a personal doomscrolling device…

Comic PSA: Playing In Junkyards

Header: A desk covered in zine supplies: washi tape rolls, scissors, printer paper, markers, and tape. On the zine is a line drawing of a mushroom. In the lower right corner is the title, I See You.

This idea has been living rent-free in my head for several weeks. So what better way to evict said idea than imprisoning it on digital paper? Studying zines and their cultural impact through my MLIS program has me wanting to make my own comic zines. I don’t have a photocopier, but I have a fickle…
