These look like that one Weezer album cover; I forget the name but remember that the cover art was a thrift store thing. Must be the same artist! Well, really awesome nonetheless.

Hey folks, I'm looking for work!

I've been unemployed for about 9 months now and I'm nearly out of money. So I'm asking for your help.

I'm open to commissions, but I'm looking for something consistent.

Amazing work, crew.

Will this finally free Godzilla once and for all?

BTW it is EXTREMELY common for academic papers to declare Lara Croft the first playable female game character (a very easy fact to debunk). As a grad student I wrote a paper that traced every appearance of this "fact" to a single paper, which is why you don't only engage with academic texts!!
