I used my free will to make Rivet a gallery wall at her food station today ✨

The wildfire smoke is here and my whole body is itchy

I had a Spyro birthday cake and we played pin the tail on the dragon ✨

It's time for a PAW Patrol: The Game ART BLAST!! ✨ I have some more of my work from the game collected into a few more posts I'll link below! There is still a little more to collect but I wanted to share what I got to do! Reminder that I am now open to work. 💖

I posted this then realized like six things I forgot in these posts. My brain is a mess but I added them 😂

We went to a Joji concert last night and the vibes healed something in me ✨

It’s been a little over a week since surgery and getting laid off on the same day and honestly I feel like my mind is a lot clearer than I expected to be at this point. I’ve healed up really well from surgery already! I’m even starting to think about personal projects. Life isn’t so heck after all

Add Killer Bean to Fortnite, cowards

I know the industry is in a dire state right now for jobs but If any indie studios see this and need an additional programmer, PLEASE let me know ASAP! my partner @barndone.bsky.social is a great generalist programmer and needs a home! Vancouver on 1 salary isn't going to cut it for long 😓

This isn't the kind of press anyone wishes for after a game launch, but I'm glad it's being covered. Thanks for the story, @bryantfrancis.me.

I’m listening to Joji and playing power wash simulator just to feel something today

an issue with how we talk about the games *industry* is that i think we have normalized talking about studios like interchangeable labor pools instead of groups of artists making creative work

I will likely be updating this post as we gather the pieces but wanted to share what I have in the meantime as far as characters! www.artstation.com/artwork/gwJxLQ

Today is Stormy’s 9th birthday so here she is with a purr pop and a delicious kitty licky mat spread 🐈‍⬛

I haven’t really updated my portfolio in years so I started out with a small thumbnail update to stuff from my early days at Originator. It’s kinda neat how just adding the game logo makes the thumbnails feel better! I’m still gathering and making presentation decisions for PAW Patrol The Game!

Reuben is awesome and one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met!

Well, whiplash! Two days after successfully launching PAW Patrol: The Game, everyone at Originator Inc. was unexpectedly laid off by our parent company. I am now open to new opportunities, especially those that might allow for growth into engineering management. reubenbrenneradams.com
