"Tell me I was yours. That I mattered. That I loved you ... right to the end."

Even though I've posted it before, I still hear him saying this in my head every time I look at this photo. Made me wonderfully sentimental today and drove me to get another section of the home office plastered and taped off and ready to prime tomorrow, despite this horrible headache making me drag my feet. Really want to get it finished so I can get stuff set up in there where I'll have a quiet place to write and work on art.

Wish my character didn't have to have the helmet on here, but it's still one of the best photos I ever managed to get with him. ❤️

Another fantastical uniquities poster! 'Ascent' is a common concept in tabletop games.

Today's design dabbling: Revisiting black-and-white, with a dip into some grid-based layout. I tried manually adjusting the title character letterforms as vector curves, but kind of botched it. I didn't go into it with enough of a plan, and the angles and spacing are a mess. Look at that awful S in particular.

That's how you learn!

This Stairway Does Not Lead to Heaven By Jeff Stanford, 2025

I created this image after being inspired by the series "Silo". I imagine if I lived in such a place, I would have gone crazy before the age of 20 just because of all the stairs 😰😰😰.
