Blog

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

Coming Soon: Nippon-Ichigo!

A long time ago, I started a website called Nippon-Ichigo in anticipation of blogging about my theoretical experience of living in Japan at the same time as filing my first application to JET. Talk about putting the cart before the horse, right? Ah, classic me. I learned a lot of interesting things in the process […]

Phoenix Fire Gauntlet

The My Brother, My Brother, and Me and The Adventure Zone shows here in Nashville are already old news, as they happened back in my birth month of October, but they linger as special events for me! It is there that I debuted my Lup cosplay, seen above. For this, I made a Phoenix Fire […]

The Kirby games have some of my favorite traditional video game soundtracks overall, and I’ve admired them since I was a kid. Please give it a listen! I like to start my day with it sometimes.

Photo Friday: Mantis Blessings

Mantises are among my absolute favorite insects! I’ve hardly seen any in person for my whole life, so I go crazy whenever I do. Here’s one I found on one of my plants recently — and just barely. Look at how it blends in! You know it’s a good day when you spot a praying mantis. […]
