Matthew Baldwin & Goopymart

TMN Contributing Writer Matthew Baldwin is a programmer from Seattle who lives with the Best Wife Ever and a handful of good-for-nothing cats. He runs the Web site defective yeti, loves to play board games, and once convinced 30 sober adults to run the 100-meter dash with their pants around their ankles. Once the patent for his combination Bagpipes/Breathalizer is approved, Matthew Baldwin will become obscenely wealthy and move to Belize.

Goopymart is a one-man (Will Guy) design studio specializing in bright, colorful, lumpy things. A wide variety of artwork, comics, and animations are made for the delight and confusion of the world’s population. Visit goopymart.com.
