As some of you may know, every year I commission a family portrait to hand on the walls of our home. Something fun, whimsical, and different. This is my favourite tradition, and I have had the privilege to meet wonderful artists and people. This 🧵 holds all my treasures ❤️

2024: It's been a big year for imagination in our house. Stacks of books, gallons of tea, and two little brains making their own magic daily. @rachillu has perfectly captured the cozy-chaos vibe of our family in this year's portrait. Thank you for being part of our tradition!

2023: Our most people-ish portrait to date and I absolutely adore it. @RossySculpts created my little goblin family and I truly feel that this represents the thinly veiled feral energy of the twins. Also..... just look at them.....my little goblins are growing up..... 😭

@TylerKepner Personal best at 53.

Rarity score 14. Covered all 3 in the center column as beat writer in 1999. 😉

@cdgoldstein I should have known. You are, after all, the world's foremost scholar of Joe Kelly.

@JayCuda I'm inspired.

Players: what's that token over there? Me: that's just a commoner.

Some choices were made on the cover of this book on mushrooms.

@JayCuda The official mascot of my fantasy league team - The Quad-Eh All-Stars*. *After a few poor seasons we've been demoted to Triple-Eh for a rebuild though.

@jay_jaffe I went with Rolen in that spot.

Thanks, I hate it.

@JayCuda Based on recent umpiring, I've made a slight edit.
