Hi, I'm Dai. Graphic designer, publisher, and web accessibility advocate.

Old-timey pulp comic titled "Nice Try, Clanker!" showing people shooting a robot with laser guns. An AI-generated image description (much worse than the one I've just written myself) is shown.
Scene from "Godzilla" (1954) where a scientist says "But I believe I can find a use for the Oxygen Destroyer that will benefit society"
A panel from Marvel's 1982 comic "Contest of Champions" showing a dejected Iron Man saying "how can we hope to gain the prize when we're fighting both the Arab-Israeli conflict and the battle of the sexes at the same time?"
Four zines and the notebook cover.
Spectacle Header, with the "Just Launched on Kickstarter" sticker.
A humanoid hammerhead shark in techno armor holds up a fist that is crackling with thunder.
Video game screenshot showing a skeleton in armor lying on the ground. The words "HE IS DEAD" are written over him.
Picture of a DMs Screen, showing two conspicuous breaks in sentences that leave single words on their own line.
A Goodreads entry for "Schick Quattro Ultra Smooth Value Pack Razors"
A book page with an illustration of a large curving wave. Below, matching the curvature of the wave, is a drop cap "C" which leads into the first chapter of Moby Dick.
Hand-drawn dungeon map with a stippled border.
A dungeon map inked in black with red accents, titled "Legend of Grimrock Level 1"
A hand drawn map on grid paper with a ruler, eraser, and pencil laying nearby.
Variable weapon damage table from B/X D&D. Two-handed weapons are indicated with an asterisk, but there is no asterisk beside "arrows".
A missing persons poster for a woman named Shari Britt. The image is a mid-century pulp illustration of a young woman pouting at the viewer.
Screenshot from Super Mario RPG showing an isometric dungeon floor with different elevations.
The words "A Simple Dungeon" set over a 4x4 grid of pages from the book.
Advert for The Vulture, showing a man welding in near-darkness while a strange creature approaches from behind.
Panel from Achewood showing a truck with a large bumper sticker that reads "I have weird ideas about what it means to be a man"
Screenshot of a wikipedia article showing the subheaders "Origins", "Lair", and "Criminal Activity And Methods"
Screenshot from Dragon Magazine #29: "In designing ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, I considered the possible racial mixtures. Should half-dwarves, half-gnomes, and half-halflings (and is a half-halfling a quartling, perchance?) be allowed? How about dwarf-elf, dwarf-gnome, dwarf-halfling, elf-gnome, elf-halfling, and gnome-halfling crossbreeds? Then there are tri-racial mixtures. Those involving humans and orcs add still more confounding factors. And now somebody decided that ogres could cross with humans! Could they cross with elves also? How about hill giants interbreeding with humans? with elves? with ogres? with ettins? Why leave out goblins? hobgoblins? gnolls? bugbears? Because of the potential for absolute madness in the game, I included only the half-elf, hoping that the rest would not arise to plague the placid waters of racial selection, but it is apparent that it was not meant to be."
