Mind-numbing facts relating to Speed Racer's Japanese title follow... Enter at your own risk.


(1) In Japan, Speed Racer's title = Mach ("mahha") GoGoGo.
(2) The Japanese name for the main character, Speed Racer, = Go Mifune.
(3) "Go" = 5 in Japanese.
(4) "Go" in English = to move or proceed.
(5) Go Mifune's car's name = Mahha-go.
(6) The Japanese character pronounced "go" in Mahha-go does not mean 5, but actually means "item number."
(7) Taking the above into consideration, the show's title, Mahha GoGoGo, means "Mach-go Go Mifune Go!"
(8) The M on Speed Racer's helmet can both stand for his Japanese surname "Mifune" and "Mahha-go."
(9) Similarly, the G on Speed's shirt could stand for his first name "Go," or even be a reference to the number 5.
(10) Gogogo is a general Japanese sound effect for rumbling.

I know some of you think the Game Jolt staff is full of puns, and yes we are, but my goodness if this isn't on a completely different level...

Hope the weekend goes as well as possible for you all!

Art rave on a Tuesday.

The Tetrisphere soundtrack goes hard. Good game, too, by the way—an N64 classic. If you ever get the chance to play it, play it.

Just casually working on a submission for a surface pattern design challenge.

(Included in the movie realm since Gulliver's UFO appeared in the Animal Crossing anime movie... Which I happen to own on DVD. )

Looks like KniteBlargh is blasting off agaaaain! •ᴧ•

Hold on to your seat, Grandpa! I'm determined to catch up with my notifications!

The last of the Creosote illustrations (for the moment, at least).

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend!

I was spending some time with a friend who is in the hospital after having a stroke. She said:

Friend: "I heard you're an artist." Me: "Yes!" Friend: "You haven't drawn anything for me." Me: ""

Here's a sketch of something I'm working on for her.

My image host was trying to tell me that my collection of Speed Racer gifs suddenly didn't exist, and I was PANICKING. Wound up just being some weird glitch solved by signing out and signing back in. Phew...

This is a printable stationery page I drew for a friend I was writing a letter to. He loves redwood trees.

For future stationery designs, I probably wouldn't tint the background unless I added a fancy fading border/frame.
