BWN: Big Backs and Making Friends
Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 131[GREETING GOES HERE] I ate watermelon for breakfast yesterday What's Going OnBackRopeI wrote this fun article on the story of rope and how rope works (there's a cute poem in there too) I thought it would be fun to write, and I needed a mental break. Anyways, here's some of the drawings: Puzzle GameI'm working with someone and we wanted to build a game, so we built it... Ref SearcherLast time I said idk if Mudboard would work out. I think I found one part of the answer: it's not sharp enough. I think I should try to help people find images on your computer better. I built this quick tool that lets you find an image by describing it. It's probably clearer if you watch it. Here's a 1 min explanation video Anyways. Mudboard is actually not doing too badly right now. I'm just impatient :< What I've been thinking aboutI've been thinking a lot about building reputation: I have a lot of things out there and I do a lot of cool things, but (1) there's no one easy way to describe what I do and (2) I'm not finding ways to tell people.

Probably means I should be posting on twitter or something. Thank you!I spent the weekend at a retreat for artists where we organized post it notes all day. It was actually really nice! I took a nap one day too. Next Newsletter in 2 Wednesdays! Shop | Previous posts | Main website |

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 140 [GREETING GOES HERE] we had a blackout for 22 hrs....so I had to like read a book This year was kind of wild. Here's some things I've been thinking about: Thoughts on Failure These past 3 years I’ve grown so much from having the opportunity to do things like hike and getting paid to draw. But I also realize that I need to be more thoughtful about my decisions if I also wanted to support a family or buy dino nuggets. So I decided to take a door to door...
