Thinking A Lot About How People Have Liked To Meme On Late-life Johnny Cash For “God’s Gonna Cut

Thinking a lot about how people have liked to meme on late-life Johnny Cash for “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” and his “Hurt” cover but man, I think his last few years were amazing. He was a man who was always on the right side of things, pro-union, anti-prison, and then at the end of his life he just got weird and apocalyptic, looking back on his own life and staring death in the face. That shit rules. He went out with dignity, which can be said about a lot of people, but more than that, he went out with ambition. “You can have it all, my empire of dirt” sounds melodramatic coming from 29 year old Trent Reznor singing about drugs, but coming from a 70 year old man who was one of the faces of his entire goddamn genre, who had fought for change his entire life and never seen any real progress? That’s fucking devastating.

Of death, endings and beginnings. To be able to birth anew, over and over during a lifetime is, at the same time, the reason we live for and the price we pay.

This is DEATH, Lady D for her friends, boss for you.

A design and illustration i did for a little game called Spooky Hat Shop, free on itch.io. Maybe went a little over the top with it since the aesthetic of the game is "cozy and cute" but the devs liked it!

And yeah she runs a Hat Shop.

There's no mobility in a job like court wizard, regulations and whatever they're never going to promote you. Quit and become an evil warlock and terrorise the townsfolk.

be your own boss!

Cueball: Did you know the Mighty Redwood is actually the same species as broccoli and kale? It's just a different cultivar.
Another Cueball: Wow!
Caption: Every year or two, botanists add another plant to Brassica oleracea and see if anyone calls them on it.

Sequoia Brussels sprouts are delicious but it's pretty hard to finish one.
