I ate at Nathan’s the other day. Pretty good, but you’re still basically paying US price for a hotsog

My #mtg arena beta stats email finally came in. 437 packs opened isn’t too bad for a f2p account, considering I was able to build a few top tier standard decks and even hit mythic once.
Did an #mtg eldraine paper prerelease as well today Went 3-0-1 with this pile

Went 5-3 with my first Eldraine sealed. Not bad, but not very good either =/ #mtg
2 of my losses were to Garruk and Oko so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
From the linked article:
Quoted berkun’s tweet:
 “This is what kind of species we are: we are stupid, we are negligent, we are tardy. But on the other hand, we are adaptable, we are smart and even as things are falling apart, we are trying to stitch them together.” https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/sep/21/vaclav-smil-interview-growth-must-end-economists?CMP=share_btn_tw
SSHD came in today, looking good so far
I just found out that my most upvoted reddit submission is the Denise/Denephew joke and that’s super on brand.

We’re finally free! #mtg #modern
Guido. I was originally gonna draw Hulk, but I realized I could continue the X-Factor theme instead. #xmen #sketch #strongguy
Leaves. This is also a #test #pleaseignore
This cant possibly be a healthy sleep rhythm
Polaris. Back to digital again, and trying out colors. A bit happier with my proportions this time. Now 3 out of 6 of the Peter David era X-Factor #sketch #xmen #polaris
Pizza rickroll. This is a test.
Rainy intersection
Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary :waves flag:
an unusual display I saw in a sony store a couple of weeks ago
dear @WordsWFriends please give me the option to disable all of these little events and gimmicks your app has. I dont care for them and they only slow down the app, i just want to play
Chicken kebab
Pietro, whose head looks a bit too small. Cribbed the pose off a Jim Lee Flash sketch. Well, learn from the best amirite? Pencils only this time. #sketch #xmen #quicksilver
This is what I decided to do today
Well, that’s annoying
Well… this is new ended up having to rollback the windows 10 1903 upgrade from a couple of days ago, was causing too many issues
Found this weird ad on flipboard
Apparently Windows 10 did not update to the May 2019 version automatically!

2019 July

Wasnt sure whether to post this since thise proportions are out of whack and that right shoulder might be dislocated, but maybe I can use it as a ‘before’ picture for when I actually get good at this. My linework is a lot steadier when using a physical pen and paper (but still shaky) as compared to the apple pencil on ipad. I guess the friction of pen on paper matters.
Pretty sure I’ve read every single issue of Uncanny, but I don’t remember this one at all (And yes, I’m kind of old!)
Quoted geneticghost’s tweet:
 Name the X-Men comic that came out the month and year you were born. Here is mine!
Cyclops and all the X-men who appeared in Starcraft 2. Super messy but I really just wanted to do a quick sketch to maybe jog myself back into the habit. I wanted to tighten up the linework and clean up the colors but I had done some silly things with the layers that made it difficult do maybe I won’t lol #sketch #xmen #starcraft2
I often have trouble noticing earthquakes , what more an earthquake drill. Unless… is it a drill that causes earthquakes?
Other people need to stop using my email address for registering their accounts. No wonder my old Samsung phone was showing me alerts in Thai
This might be a new personal record for my duolingo streak

Rob Alexander painting demo earlier at MagicFest Seattle. He did this in about 2 hours; “I can’t do it in 30 minutes so I don’t have a TV show.” Pretty great! #mfseattle #mtg
