Last Notes

2026-03-03 18:59:44 GMT

Two weeks ago I was sadly laid off from a job I took last year to help a friend do incredible physical design work.
Within a week I had two minor (yet surprising) contracts with new clients.
One in #design, one in #art.
I’m quite lucky.
If you need either, let’s get in touch. 💪

I know what’s to blame for all my ills and faulty attributes:
Microplastics.
Does this mean I get to blame the previous generation?

I know everyone wants a custom print of Oscar emptying your Mac OS 8 trash, right?
Cuz I always try to get the first numbered print.

YES! ebay is the best place, unless you want labeled blanks.

It’s giving Tuesday, so any purchases today increase my giving percentage by 10%.
BONUS: If an item already gives 100% I’ll send you my favorite mug, too!
Shop site in bio. 🙌☕️

My #artwork gives back at a fairly large percentage, supports meaningful causes, plants trees, and looks pretty nice on your wall.

that’s pretty good. Especially after having received lots of these yourself!

Positively jarring things to say in response to wrong number text messages.
Go.

no worries. Any time.
I’ve recently been bummed that so many of our internet buddies from the past have stayed on other platforms and have still not migrated to this “one true platform”. Ah, well. Here we are.

wow. Yeah, I haven’t had to block anyone in two years here but that might be one. Sounds like they have a grudge and is misplacing their anger.
Ignore. 😔

I miss these so bad, I almost managed to start a remixed site similar to these, but it's a lot of work.
