The "this is an ad on Game Jolt" comments are always super funny to me, because the ad systems in place (Google, Amazon, etc.) that choose which ads to display to you on Game Jolt (and other sites) have almost nothing to do with Game Jolt itself.

For this reason, users are actually revealing quite a bit about their perceived interests and information based on their browsing activity (or that of someone else who uses the device being used to access Game Jolt) when they show off which ads are displaying for them. So, while I seem to only get ads about health food products, game deals, GameCube controllers (ROFL), and RedBubble or other clothing-based prints (yes, I am that simple), the next person could be getting ads about... Well let's not go there, but things can get spooky, let's just put it that way.

The lesson: It's not about Game Jolt. It's about what your online presence is telling the major ad systems in use. Might want to think twice before sharing what you're seeing!

Pig.

More pig.

Don't worry, I went back and drew the eyelashes later with a bigger brush after lining the rest of the piglets.

An illustration I painted for a friend who has been battling cancer for a long time. She's been doing better, but it's still hard. Hoping this will bring a little cheer in spite of everything.

Another climbing floral surface pattern design I made for home décor and fabrics. I was inspired by a patchwork top and also a porcelain dish.

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.
