SHILL Issue 72

@Mercury_Prime
Zen0m is a fascinating artist.
Turns out that IRL he's a professional game designer. Carry the 1, divide by 0... yup, that math checks.
More surprisingly, the pixel maestro's journey involved living on a small wooden boat for 6 months!
Wanna know more? Story time...for starters, I'd note that @zen0m is an Aliens maxi.
He's seen the movies, ofc, but also read all the comics, paged all the novels, and played all the games.
His handle is even a derivation of Xenomorph (the name of the Alien).
This @The_URS_ drop makes SO much sense now.
Zen0m hails from Northern England, where he first started doodling "monster friends" for people at age 13.
The simple strokes always seemed to strike a chord. Friends and family alike finding an attraction to the little dude.
Now it's part of his thank you package.
Neat.
As I chatted with Zen0m I noticed two things right away:
1) He doesn't like to pronounce the letter T in the middle of words. It's not "bottle" it's "bah-ole." He's not an "artist"
he's an "are-iss." I'm writing this with that accent in my brain.
2) He's an old soul.
I was a tried and true moron until my now wife found me and gave me a reason to get wise.
I learned smart things eventually, but as an old soul Zen0m understood life lessons far earlier than I did.
