A relevant doodle? And my first attempts at Ace and Big Billy? I’m on a roll 😤
One more thing - gonna change up how I do my social media. I’m also gonna post the food I make alongside drawings, videos, a podcast and all that cool stuff. Can’t wait to show off what I make soon!
And speaking of drawings…working on a project right now that’s gonna be big. This one sketch is just a taste so far.
Very emotional doodles 🥹
Comics That Never Were - Fab Four #049
Art by Bill Morrison
Last post for a bit, I shouldn’t be on here this much…but man, I’d love to see what the Dexter’s Lab bedding and backpacks and shirts looked like beyond these ads. From what I know Dexter merch is a lot more rare than PPG merch, and while I don’t collect a whole ton anymore, this kind of merch is holy grail level to me - and yet, at best there’s silly bootlegs and at worst there’s some genuinely cursed “merch” (I’m no prude but I sure as hell don’t want to see Dexter’s Mom R34).
If anybody has this stuff, or knew someone that had it or whatever, do let me know! I’m genuinely curious to see what you guys have.
I’d love to see a official Courage and Resi Evil crossover but for now this will do
Gotta love it when my Tumblr gets some of the weirdest and grossest ads imaginable. No I don’t want a “MAN MY APPLE WATCH CAUSES ALL THAT PESKY BLOOD AND PUS AND POOP AND MAGGOTS TO EXPEL FROM MY BODY I FEEL LIKE A DOLLAR AND THIRTY-EIGHT CENTS”
And don’t forget “OH NO MY APPLES AND ORANGES ARE FULL OF MOLD AND WASPS GOTTA CUT THEM SATISFYINGLY UNTIL I FIND A NICE PIECE TO FEED TO LITTLE TIMMY WITHOUT HIM GETTING FOOD POISONING”
The Pooflepuff Goils!
Let’s be friends!

Time for this post’s only addendum- I just got this compilation set recently for cheap, and I finally have these games I’ve been wanting to own for years now.
I’m still working on some art stuff, so I figured I’d try something different. Here is my Mac games collection I built up earlier this June and August, part of a final push before I stopped retro game collecting entirely (it’s expensive yo, and it was getting toxic to where I sold off or donated a good chunk of it but I digress).
Around that time I had transitioned over to the Apple ecosystem entirely because I had seriously bad luck with crappy laptops and a badly built gaming PC - I’m the sort of person that would want to just plug something in and not worry about if a component is broken or whatever. Not to mention, it felt more interesting for me looking at Mac versions of popular PC games (well, that and Win/Mac titles).
What astounded me these few months collecting these games were the following:
Holy cow, these games were rare. Mac games are not easy to find, I think that’s obvious to retro game, computer or Mac collectors. A lot of them were like $30-100 on eBay. Luckily I didn’t pay that much for these games, BUT Ghost Recon, No One Lives Forever and the Rainbow Six games are easily the rarest out of my collection. Republic: the Revolution was the only one I found at a thrift store. Win/Mac titles like the Blizzard franchises and dinky edutainment titles are easier to come by.
A lot of boomer shooters were given Mac ports. Again, the aforementioned Ghost Recon, No One Lives Forever and the Rainbow Six games, but Aliens vs Predator, SoF II, RTCW, the CoDs…I was not expecting to find Mac versions of Black Hawk Down, Prey and Allied Assault.
Guess what? You still needed to dink around with specific Mac models (namely the Power Macs in this case, most of these games are OSX) to get these games working. You still needed good video cards and CPUs and all that stuff. Of course Intel chipset only games are there, that’s a bit different but I’m not that much of an expert on Intel Macs.
Where could I get these games back in the day? From what I saw, CompUSA and Best Buy and GameStop, and Apple Stores. Yeah, you could buy physical boxed Mac games at Apple Stores…boy, did I miss out on that!
Porting: native Mac versions of these games were ported irregularly, sometimes in a handful of months, or taking a year or more to be ported. I like to think it wasn’t due to porting difficulties and more to the install base, Apple being…Apple and publishers being like “yeah nah can’t justify this, better give it to these third party companies”. Ghost Recon’s Mac port came around the same time as its console ports. Meanwhile, the Mac version of Need for Speed Carbon, which I don’t have, came out two years after the game released (2006…Mac in 2008!!).
Makes you think that *gasp* Macs are viable PC gaming outlets! Well, just recently - took Apple long enough to pull their head out of their ass to realize that with Apple Arcade and their Silicon Macs supporting games like Cyberpunk 2077, the ResiEvil remakes and RoboCop of all things. Still, figured I’d look at an oft forgotten piece of gaming history.
Maybe I should share the rest of my collections next, idk
Oh dang, I’ve been busy! Well, nah, just lazy…kind of both. I’m working on a super cool top secret personal project (including char designs and lore), so I haven’t gotten around to doing more fan art yet. But don’t worry! I got a few ideas down the line. In the meantime, have this trad sketch I did at a sushi restaurant not too long ago.
Those bootleg PPG keychains are the exact same kind I see in my local shops! They usually have (horribly miscoloured) PPG ones - last I was there I think they had a half-blonde Blossom.
Ahhhhh, the earth is healing. The miscolored Blossoms are returning. 😆
Bubs looks adorable dressed as Kuromi fr. Makes me wish for an official Sanrio/PPG collab (if there hasn’t been one already)
Last PPG post for now, but I went to the mall and they had this claw machine venue. I don’t think I missed out on much…

Another vacay doodle - in alternate universe, this is a real joke in that second PPG reboot and it ages horribly in 20 years. Fun!
Some doodle I did while on vacation - wonder what they’re arguing about?
Season’s Beatings
Reimagining / a sort of sequel to this old art I did
Howdy y’all! Time for an update. I hope everyone is having a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa by the time they’re reading this!
I have to admit I wasn’t too happy with my initial drawings here. They seemed funnier in my head, and I feel like I rushed them out for clout - I feel like they were sloppy overall, and that I can do better (especially the Dexter/Stellar Blade one - ewww. Stellar Blade kindof stinks as a game).
That said, I am planning to change things up a bit with my artwork and go for something far more exaggerated and stylized and changing my socials and OC designs to reflect that, but it’ll take time. Consider this an early test run. I’ll update everything when I get the chance.
Speaking of socials, I may start posting on Instagram and another site soon (maybe, assuming it’s not banned or whatever). Insta will feature my recipes and meals, and that other site will have timelapse drawings. However, I’ll be sporadic on all sites because I don’t want to have serious mental health issues.
I’ll start posting more often soon starting in January. And hoo boy, do I have some art to post!
Alright, now it’s time to debut… MY OCs!
These gals and guys are The Gang, which is a comic I’m doing super soon. For now, let’s just admire them…
This is the crossover of the ages. Maybe. I got a busy week ahead of me so have this rushed draw
