I have an idea for an art thing but no idea what the execution would be. But I have a rough outline of the direction and or vibe.

Map of video game quest Izad's Treasure Elder Scrolls Fandom powered by Wikia. Movie quote from Memento over the image that says, "Leonard Shelby: Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts."

Made it to a writer's retreat this last weekend. Must have been productive cause I didn't get any writing done but the smell of rubbing alcohol made my stomach turn afterwards.

Moon rising over a lake. It's light reflected in the water makes a column of light. Tree branches hang over the top of the scene framing it.

Not trying to sound ungrateful for anything that highlights Elizabeth Taylor's body of work, but I think Taylor Swift missed the mark by excluding Pearl Slaghoople in her music video.

Elizabeth Taylor as Pearl Slaghoople in the live action Flintstones film from 1994. She is resplendent in stone age jewelry and animal print clothing looking as if she just realized who the murderer is in a mystery.

Grymbo wants to see you at the New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival April 9th - 13th! You can help fund this baby goblin's trip with this link: gofund.me/a99b9b405

I'm kind of obsessed with these Grymbo finger puppets my friend is making. Coming to a Ren Faire near some. Photo credit Lallipop the Clown

I refuse to elaborate.

An orange rabbit puppet is hung on a lawn sculpture of a goose so that the rabbit appears to have a goose's body. It's sitting on a box marked Silly Silly Gooses.

My brain had this conversation with itself while I was trying to think of 5 jobs. Cause I've been a "cook" at least 5 times I think... I had too many jobs in college.

A meme with Zoe Deschanel asking Andy Samburg to list 5 things jobs you've had and he says cook. Zoe says that's on me. I set the bar too low.

The energy I bring to the party

A giant menacing figure in a horned helmet addresses a group of evil henchmen in an old Japanese super sentai with text overlaid on the picture saying "I am a god damn MAN and if I want to make a deconstructed pbbp&j al a nuggies blasted out of my skull at 2 in the AM then you better bet your buty that I will you punk ass hick.."

Finally landed on a pair of paint schemes for my Battletech mercenaries. We have parade blue and desert cameo. I tried a lot of shades for both as I worked towards my ideal. Hoping they look better after a few more passes.

My Blackjack getting into a fight with a Quickdraw, a dramatic retelling:

The painting 'Freedom of Speech' by Norman Rockwell, 1943, but the standing dude's head is a mist with the words *PPC Sounds* and *Laser Sounds* written over it in Comic Sans (because I was not expecting the enemy mech to be packing and am a joke of a mech warrior).

Grymbo and I are hitting the road tomorrow to bring some mischief and puppetry to Core4 Brewing in OKC. Come out for a good time! I'll have free zines too. #puppets #Rizald

Daniel J. Pool🦩@gywair· Sep 18

there I go Herbert posting

a frazzled blue puppet against a white background. The words next to it say 'The horrors persist. so too must I. #silly gooses'

Daniel J. Pool🦩@gywair· Aug 20

The Merch-ing has begun. I've been making buttons and zines for upcoming events. #Rizald #SillyGooses

Grymbo zines, assorted buttons in a pile, and colorful sheets of still to be cut out buttons.

Daniel J. Pool🦩@gywair· Aug 13

I've been making some merch for upcoming table events. Hopefully folks like them #rizald

Drawing of Grymbo the goblin saying, Yes I goblin. Goblin that ass! #Rizald

Daniel J. Pool🦩@gywair· Aug 7

I am proud of this button design though. Grymbo needs to start raking in that cash if he wants more goblin treats.

Grymbo the goblin is smiling as a cartoon character. In big letters the button design says, "Yes I goblin! Goblin that ass!"

Daniel J. Pool🦩@gywair· Aug 7

I'm not great at advertising but you can't say I'm untruthful in my promotional materials. Trying to make buttons.

Black text on a white background that reads "Back my book, bitch." and has a QR code that goes to my book pre-launch website page.

I'm sorry, what are you doing to the Gimp, book?

Her wee fangs 😍

Made a friend at Soonercon today. This is Herbert.

A blue hand puppet with dark blue fur eyebrows and hair. He has a makeup sponge for a nose.

Sorry, I didn't make it. I had stuff... uh... come up. The Stuff:

Virgil Tracy (a puppet) painting Airship 1 in a cute little painter's smock, matching beret and ascot from Thunderbirds the Movie.

Decided to make this a frog prince puppet. The eyes just look too good.

Foam puppet head with green felt pulled over the form but unattached.

Daniel J. Pool🦩@gywair· Jun 9

Tried a new head shape for a puppet. I really like it but I'm between making a cyclops and a frog. I can't decide which one I like better.
