Led away by imperfect impostors.

This passed weekend Tech Support celebrated his 30th birthday. There was much festivity with friends and colleagues on Friday (from which I unfortunately had to depart rather early), then a little bit more on Sunday with family members.

Now, something you may or may not know about Tech Support, is that he has this weird thing about goombas (or kuribo), the squishy brown mushroom/chestnut like creatures from Nintendo’s Super Mario franchise.

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart?

It was a busy weekend.

Finally got a new bed. The details of the situation are complicated and boring but I promise you this was so far overdue it wasn’t even funny any more. Sleeping is hard.

But that is not important.

On Sunday it was Golden Owl Events annual Wintervalk parade.

Costume events are definitely my jam, but so often I find myself somewhere between too busy or too socially awkward to attend. This passed weekend that was not the case. Hallward happened to be going and graciously offered to drive, so I figured it was a good excuse to bust out the goat from New Year.

For the record: I was right.

Get back in line.

Just a quick note today:

The past couple of weeks have been spent going through all the digital work I’ve put together over the years for costume projects; cleaning up some of the older ones and getting them all organised to share in a public Google Drive.

It is finally ready to be unveiled and can be found over here.

The images are all 300dpi .png, full colour and ready to print. They consist mostly of placement prints, logos and labels for clothing and uniforms, along with a few stickers, badges and character identification cards for good measure.
I don’t know if people ever print images directly from the Asylum or my dA or whatever, but nothing I upload around the place ever exceeds 72dpi so the printed quality would leave something to be desired in that situation.

A lot of work went into them and occasionally people ask about using certain pieces so… have at it, kids! Putting them all together in the drive saves a bit of time; help yourselves rather than waiting on emails.

Items on the drive will be progressively added to and updated as necessary.

It’d be nice to be credited if you use them, though I don’t ask for any compensation as they were mostly copied down from existing sources and are not really my designs. Just a lot of love and effort that only ever gets used a handful of times, so it’s really nice to think somebody else might get some sort of enjoyment from the fruits of this ridiculous hobby.

Enjoy!
Or don’t.
