Got to do a really fun commission that's pretty outside my usual style. Client wanted to do a piece to celebrate his DnD party at the completion of their big campaign.

Fabric, sculpting, and hours of crafting only tell half of the story. I couldn’t weave this fairytale without my friends @ohmybreadsticks.bsky.social and Michelle working their magic behind the camera. They gave me the confidence to feel like a true queen. Thank you both so much! 🩵

Rest in Peace to one of the greatest there ever was.
Kai was an inspiration. A God among mortals. I'm not sure I'd still be playing cards today if it weren't for Kai and people like him. May we all hope to bring a tenth of the light and joy he brought into the world.

Cancer is a dragon that makes a hoard of lives stolen. Long live the memory of Kai Budde: a hall of famer, an inspiration, and a hell of a card player.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We as a community need to come up with terminology for 'cards who's purpose is to present a negative value proposition to the opponent'
Cards that don't necessarily increase our own value, but instead threaten to reduce the value of our opponents cards
Cards like CnC, CLF, and Bonds of Agony.

...my Dio guide is now *seventy six pages long*, making it officially longer than my Dromai guide now (including sections for Prismatic Lens Dio and Cog Dio too). This hero's complicated y'all.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

I don't do just fun art purely for myself nearly often enough. But it's the holidays, and I wanted to test my new inkwell. So here's just a fun piece with no real purpose.

Once again, thanks to @fleshandpod.bsky.social for having me on. I always have a blast hanging out with some of the best people in the FaB community.
However, I'd like to reiterate my statement from this episode.
DO NOT GOOGLE IT. Just don't. I know it's tempting. It's not worth it.

Kano is dead! Classic Constructed is SHOOK! Blitz is reborn...sort of? There was too much for Darick and Logan to handle so they phoned a friend and brought in the great (in her mind at least) Mara Faris to keep them on the #fabtcg rails...which does not even remotely happen.
