Some fun with @attackattackus 🫶
Go listen and dance!
(And if any other bands who shaped my childhood want to hit me up, my commissions are always open)
Sleep is for suckers, rest in the dust for a while 🐶

Did I accidentally draw your frontman? Lmk if you got any weird looking band members cos I need references.
Current work in progress! I’ve been wanting to play around with combining my illustration style and my photoshopping style and also my love for clowns. Right now I’m hating the arms and need to figure out a good background but I love the dog and how lil dudes smile came out ❣️
I need an oil change soon but I’m scared of the part where they show me the dip stick.
I keep having dreams about the time I spent waiting at an auto shop as a kid after school. About cleaning grease from under my fingernails that just never seemed to go away. About the mixture of cigarette smoke and oil stinging my nostrils. I know I was definitely in the way and obnoxiously taking college kids Gatorade from the fridge, being babysat by a hardworking man who somehow got stuck feeding someone else’s kid. But I love the feeling of being around a community and even if I wasn’t, it felt like I was part of it.
I’ve spent a lot of time chasing that feeling of community in a lot of different places, but it has always kinda felt the same as back then. Kind of a nuisance, kinda in the way. Not really there but definitely around. And I’ve never really been able to feel like I know what I’m talking about or contribute much of anything to but an occasional full-belly laugh. Fun but impermanent.
The dip stick charade is confusing because I have nothing valuable to add to the equation. I verify that I do see the stick is wet with a very casual “nice” or “cool” or “awesome”, but I don’t know what’s going on. And for some reason he still includes me anyway. Holds it out, waits for me to nod, like my opinion is part of the process.
It’s the same old feeling: I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m probably in the way, but someone still makes space for me for a second. Even if all I’m doing is confirming the stick is, in fact, wet.
