Resident Explainer
Welcome. I’m John D. Reinhart — illustrator, writer, content creator, historian, tool enthusiast, kitchen philosopher, and the only person I know of currently sitting in my chair.
Pull up a seat. Look around. There’s a lot going on here, and all of it was made with the same eye — the one that looks at complicated things and finds the elegant, occasionally ridiculous truth hiding inside them.
The work is below. The adventure is ongoing.
