dumb little Klapollo idea I’ve had in the back of my head for forever, based off of that one scene at the end of School of Rock
(also omigod HAPPY TURNABOUT TRUMP DAY it is by complete coincidence that I posted this on the in-universe day of Apollo’s first day in court)

I just beat the Riven Remake and I loved its feel and artistry. You and the crew did a great job on it! One thing I've never understood, though: how did you learn D'ni back in the 90's? I've never known how that conlang was shared in those days, and even after reading the novels I still have no idea how to use the language. I'd love to learn more about the setting beyond the books and games!
Aw gosh, thanks so much for the kind words! ♥️
SO there were some fan-made online resources (Kh'reestrehfah’s D'ni Dictionary has been around since the year 2000, amazingly), and most importantly for me there was a D'ni language & grammar primer in the From Myst to Riven art book:
Along with that there were scattered online resources from Cyan themselves, or RAWA (Richard Watson, game designer at Cyan back in the day) would discuss the language and release new materials in CyanChat or the Riven Lyst, the ancient chatrooms/mailing lists for the fandom at the time.
If you want to learn the D'ni conlang nowadays, there are tons of resources out there: a good starting point would be the Guild of Archivists’ pages on D'ni language and grammar, and there’s a linguistics channel in the official Cyan Discord where you can ask pretty much anything and everything and someone’ll point you in the right direction.
Hope that’s helpful! 😄📖✒️
Made a custom Decker vs. Dracula VHS cover for the On Cinema show in LA—started as a quick screenshot paintover for a goof and then it RAPIDLY got away from me! super fun trying to ape classic movie posters for this one 😅
And here are the original screenshots vs. the final, for any interested parties! Really tried to amp up the Struzan vibes:
Sometimes it is fun to just make a dumb little thing 😌🙏

Matt Johnson Plays Himself: a piece dedicated to Matt Johnson, director, and his troika of fictional Matt Johnsons from The Dirties (2013), Operation Avalanche (2016), and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.
Working on a troika of Matt Johnsons (soon to be a quartet)
a bunch of stream of consciousness sketching while manning the Con Rangers booth at Wondercon this weekend—the booth across from us was blasting one single Marvel Rivals song for six hours straight so I was going slightly insane at the time
sometimes the spirit compels you to make a beat-for-beat remake of the theatrical My Dinner With Andre poster and you just gotta run with it
fifeonmars asked:
i was so shocked at how good those Matt likenesses were until i saw that you were the artist. I’m not any less impressed, i just know you’re like, an Understander of Shapes and maybe the only one up to the task of wrangling all that
HA, that’s very kind of you to say! I hope it’s somewhat reassuring to know that I have a folder in my layers panel just called “BAD” where I dump all the terrible drawings and false starts I make on the way of getting to the good ones 😅
finally learning to draw the Nirvanna the Band boys after fifteen-odd years of staring at their faces (plus a bonus YOKED Director Matt)
dustin’ off the ol’ cobwebs at Ready/Sketch/Go’s life drawing session last night!
Eternal thanks to Carmen Quiñones Callahan for being such an amazing model ♥️♥️♥️
