Here there be writings of all kinds, but mostly my own thoughts and ramblings about art, sketches, video games, animation, and design.

TCAF 2015!

I don’t have to tell you that I loved TCAF again this year, and possibly love Toronto more this time than I did last. It’s a given, an almost unanimous sentiment among friends who also traveled there from the states. I ate well for the whole weekend (surrounded by food in the blocks surrounding the Reference […]
