Writer/Narrative Designer on Guild Wars 2 // Opinions are my own // Game lover, writer, hobby artist, and dog-petting profesh // Gay (he/him)

Jimothy, a raccoon with a spinal deformity in Seattle, WA. He's just a lil guy, though.

It's the Bernie meme of Bernie Sanders asking for financial support, but Drooburt's (a begging quaggan ghost in Guild Wars 2) head has been photoshopped over Bernie's.

Mii character summary of my Mii doppelganger at the end of the Tomodachi Life character creator. It is somewhat accurate of me.
A photoshopped image of an urban boardwalk over a pond in clear and sunny weather. The pixelated art of Blue from Pokemon Red/Blue has been added to the boardwalk with an exclamation bubble over his head, and a chat window saying "You're still struggling along..." from his pre-battle dialogue in his Cerulean City/Nugget Bridge encounter.

A meme version of Stan Kelly's original artwork for an article in satirical news publication, The Onion. The meme version is solely the man looking in through the window, experiencing some form of "twisted" satisfaction (usually at whatever the poster is speaking to/posting about). The word "Sickos" is on his shirt and he is saying "Yes... Ha Ha Ha... YES!" in a speech bubble.
A black maritime flag with a white "X" across it with it signalling that the ship is stopped.
A color coded map of the U.S.A that denotes the states I've lived in, stayed in, visited, stopped at, passed through, want to visit one day, or just have never been.
My 2026 Word: GOAT
A sketch of the half-orc/half-dwarf, Grehg and his dwarven lover, Dael, hugging. That's it. That's the art. It's not that complicated.

The "business, pleasure, combat" meme from an animated feature where a women in a line approaches an airport check-in clerk, who asks her "business or pleasure." The women removes her sunglasses and says "combat" as a third option. In this instance I've photoshopped my Guild Wars 2 guardian's head over the clerk's, and Rytlock Brimstone's head over the woman's.
The "Change My Mind" meme template where a guy is sitting behind a table with a blank sign except the phrase "CHANGE MY MIND" at the bottom, as if he's waiting to be debated. In this case, I swapped the usual guy with an NPC I ran into just no in Pokemon Legend Z-A who is absolutely sure that Normal-type pokemon are the most powerful, and is very passionate about proving himself right.
