Even from the opposite coast, I'm intrigued by the NYC mayoral race. Not because I hate Cuomo—I obviously hate Cuomo—but because it's a stress test for Ranked Choice Voting which we desperately need all over the country. 🤞

Staff Artist at Chaosium Inc. My job is to bring worlds to life. I like to illustrate subtle stories of the mundane, not just the stories of the heroes. And the heroes are not perfect either. My view is not focused in the middle of the scene. It’s a little bit off*. 
I am where I want to be.
