OOTD of mine from a few years back!

Earlier this month Ripley's brought me down to Orlando to promote my appearance in their newest book! I'm tickled pink to be featured once again in such an amazing publication. I had just gotten back from Nashville the day before - it's pretty rare for me to go on back-to-back work trips. Thankfully I was able to get good rest and had the chance to spend some time with some really special people while I was in town :)

Many thanks to those of you who continue tuning in to my vlogs - filming and editing these is a very time-consuming labor of love. Stay tuned for my next Etch A Sketch adventures!

If you're interested in checking out any of the amazing people I mentioned in this video I've included their Instagram links below!

I'm kicking off a new series where I Etch A Sketch the portraits of people who inspire me!

Zohran Mamdani was an easy choice for episode 1. Mamdani, you're a well-needed breath of fresh air! Thank you for the example you're setting each day in office.

Information covered in this video is based on the September 2026 Mayor's Management Report and NYC Mayor social media videos.

I was originally commissioned to make a time lapse video for this Percy Jackson rendition wayyyy back in May of 2024, so I'm a wee bit overdue. Thankfully the customer has been super chill and understanding the whole time - even though he had every right to snap!

Over the last couple years I've actually taken a bit of a step back from sharing art-focused videos online, choosing instead to put myself in front of the camera more. So I'm not sure how well-received this video is gonna be today, but I really enjoy using my time lapses as a vehicle for sharing a story or providing glimpses into the nuts and bolts of my career.

Shout-out to Flash though for being super understanding about the many times this project went on the back burner!

Incredible honor to receive a second feature in a Ripley's book! I am SO over the moon with the page layout. You can see it for yourself in Wired Into Weird, dropping on September 8th 🩻🩵

I am thrilled to share that I've been working with Ripley's over the years which has led to many incredible adventures. So it means the world to me that they purchased my most ambitious Etch A Sketch series to date!

If you visit the Grand Prairie location you can vote for my art through the end of the month which can in theory provide some extra capital for what I'm sure will be a Very Silly Pursuit :)

Can't make it to Grand Prairie? Come see me in Orlando on Labor Day! I'll be making free art portraits with Ripley's from 2-4 at Icon Park. Can't make it to Orlando either? Ah well, hopefully you'll find a little placard about me and my art at a future Ripley's visit!

Thank you all for the amazing support - the only reason Ripley's reached out to me was because I hit the front page of Reddit a few years ago. Sometimes upvotes really do matter, and I think that's pretty peachy keen.

I got this as a gift from the co-founder of Spin Master. He included it in a PR kit that included his newest book. I've always wanted a bakugan and the metallic sheen on this is unbelievable!

These were part of a series of 7 drawings I was commissioned to create by a travel company who sent me to India in 2016. Still one of my all-time favorite experiences of my career!

aaaaand it's one of my favorite Pokemon Etch A Sketch drawings I've literally ever made (and I've made a LOT)! It's permanent and looking for a new home!

I was raised in a household where the margarine container held the leftovers and the leftover container held the butter. As an added bonus it temporarily concerns guests when they see it on my bathroom counter! I expect to get another few decades out of this container.

Once I finish preservation of this Zelda piece I'll be sending it off to its new home, presumably somewhere in Hyrule ⚔️

Took me years of searching to find that first blue - it was only ever offered as a custom color for corporate bulk orders!

After finding Annie's argyle sweater the other day I went down a rabbit hole of searching for other outfits worn by the actors. Websites like WornOnTV can be great for sourcing apparel when the matches are the actual clothes, but most often they only share similar products (or none at all, like for this cardigan).

Well after some extra searching I found it! The cardigan is from Robbi & Nikki. It's currently on Poshmark for $9 but it's not my style (I confirmed the buttons are the same) so if anyone wants to jump on this before their next oil wrestle have at it!

Always happy to assist you all on your Community clothes crusades!

In 2017 IKEA released this glorious SAGOSKATT pillow. I conscripted a friend of a friend to score a few in Tampa who by means of a third party was able to bring them all the way to my home in Chicago 🌈

my newest Etch A Sketch art commission! 💜

This now marks my 6th eevee form I've etch a sketched. All I've got left now are glaceon, leafeon, and sylveon! DM me if interested in ordering a commission of your own. More info available at my web shop!

Thank you all so much for your amazing support on this launch! This is my first time ever creating a product related to the Nintendo e-Reader and I'm absolutely thrilled with how well-received it was. I never expected that all 14 sets would be claimed within the first day of launching!

13 of the 14 sets have been mailed out this afternoon. I'm dropping off the final set tomorrow.

If you missed out on this launch and would like for me to restock it in the future, please let me know in the comments!

Upcoming checklist projects include:

1. Japan-exclusive e-Reader minigames/videos
2. English Construction: Action
3. English Construction: Melody Box
4. Japan-exclusive Construction: Action & Melody Box
5. Japan-exclusive Construction: Block Break

I expect the next product launch will be end of 2026/early 2027. There are a lot of logistics to work out for future sets - some may be packaged together, and many require a new approach to the design that still honors the overall language established by the TCG from that era. My intent is to design checklists that feel cohesive in a binder alongside the cards. I may share design updates here but will be most likely to share smaller updates in the Discord server, as I'd love to hear your opinions but don't want to clog the feed here with smaller milestones.

Thank you again for your support everyone!

Wooh! By the time the magazine hits my mailbox it won't be on store shelves anymore, so if you happen to be in Australia right now you can find the article about me in this week's issue of Take 5 Magazine. Weeeee!

Going live tomorrow (Wednesday, July 22nd) at 9pm EDT - available here! Thanks to the mods for providing permission for me to share the link.

After all the recent USPS changes I switched to calculated shipping. Everything is packed and ready to ship ASAP.

At this time there are only 14 sets available. The likelihood of a reprint will depend heavily on the performance of this run. Thank you all for checking in with me throughout the months. It feels so great to have seen this project through to the end!

Special shout-out to u/fexcollects for handling the printing of the cards for me. I'm not sure this project would have made it to production without Fex's help!
