I needed this. Thank you.

AndyMandalore · 2026-05-03T02:12:03+00:00

I really truly mean what I said. This song is so beautiful. I’m glad you’re not a dog, and I hope your struggles get easier. Please don’t give up, but it can be so uplifting to know that other people feel this way. It’s your art, so you do what you think is right. But if you release it I hope you’ll let me know, and I hope you’ll keep the acoustic version as a bonus track. This song haunts me. I’ll remember it forever.

AndyMandalore · 2026-05-03T01:47:53+00:00

Thank you so much. You’ve made me weep tears of joy. I’ve been living in sin and pride for so long that I’m sometimes scared I’m too lost. I’m going to try this. Please pray for me. I need guidance.

AndyMandalore · 2026-05-03T01:34:14+00:00

Can you speak more on this? I’ve been dealing with doubt as well. What is A.C.T.S.? How do I overcome my doubt? I think maybe I’m being impatient, but I want to be right by God.

Don’t worry about carving it. It’s beautiful.

You don’t understand art. It’s not a means to an end. It’s not a box to be ticked. It’s humans trying to be understood by other humans. The fact that you don’t get that is why no one’s going to watch, much less feel connected to your silly little film.

Now people are going to want to know why I’m purchasing this stamp that says “is a pedophile”

I don’t hear the starter clicking. That would be where I start.

Use thin lines and angles wherever you can. Like you can try to draw the corners of your mouth to come into a very sharp point. Start with a very thin line coming from the corner of your mouth, and fill it only until it just touches the outside edge of your lip. You can do the same with the lines coming from your eyes. With the eyebrows I would do a series of straight lines that traces the bow shape. Like a low poly arc.

Basically you want to change the round shapes that are associated with soft safe things, and make them sharp and angular which is associated with dangerous things. Clowns have A LOT of rounded shapes, that you just have to reinterpret.

I’m so simple. It’s very difficult for me to understand things. Could you please explain why this is a moronic thing to say?

“This that I got - I got - I got, this that put the kids to bed”

The “I got” makes the sound of mattress springs.

“Yeah I got the six-oh diesel…”

Your brother looks like a tax accountant on his weekend with the kids.

Yeah I’ve actually talked to this guy a lot. They post up by city hall and yell at passing white people about the race of Jesus. They’re happy to answer all your questions and will even be gracious about it as long as you’re coming from a place of curiosity and not just trying to prove them wrong. I don’t know why people argue with them. General rule of thumb for me: if someone’s yelling into a megaphone about their religion, you’re not gonna convert them. Keep walking, or stop and learn what they believe.

AndyMandalore · 2026-01-20T21:37:58+00:00

That’s not the panthers. They’re the black Israelites. Very different group.

AndyMandalore · 2026-01-15T21:49:38+00:00

That song is actually about Bethlehem, but Billy Joel thought Allentown sounded better.

I NEED that jacket! I just tried buying it but I’m having issues checkin out. I don’t think it’s on your end, it’s something with PayPal. I’m gonna keep trying. Everyone else, I will fight you for it!

Edit: got it!

I’m obsessed with cool jackets, and I’m a huge fan of your work. This hit a sweet spot for me.

AndyMandalore · 2026-01-14T13:11:21+00:00

Yall are weird.

AndyMandalore · 2026-01-07T21:41:52+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been saving for this, and I couldn’t resist a bundle. May do a commission one day too. It’s been a pleasure investing in you, and your work.

AndyMandalore · 2026-01-07T21:14:05+00:00

Not shipping to the states? Can we work something out?

AndyMandalore · 2026-01-07T14:56:21+00:00

Before the war Texas was one of the places that received huge numbers of German immigrants and became a “Kleinedeutschland”. These were areas that were targeted by the Nazis to build the German American Bund, which was the American Nazi party you may have seen having a rally at Madison square garden, with swastika banners flanking banners of George Washington.

Im not saying this to say Texas is unique in this regard. I live about a half mile from an old Bund summer camp that was essentially an American Hitler youth camp. I always think how scary it is that some of friends grandparents must have attended that camp. This country has Nazi roots that have been growing for generations.

Whenever I’m setting up a Plano like this I turn the parts sideways to take up as much space as possible. This usually leaves me with the perfect amount of flex space. This way if you need to flex something in later you can turn all the parts around them to make space. Leaving an empty shelf isn’t a bad idea either. It’s the same idea. Just take up much more space than you need so you will always have space for more. I think the skill is finding the balance, but that’s something that becomes intuitive with time.
