Hi, new site and new folks. I'm a weird follow. Here's why.

I've Illustrated for fashion, branding, film, bands, animation, ttrpgs, and more for decades. Co-ED'd an animal shelter. Written for magazines and ttrpgs. Edited romance novels. And too many other things.

I currently run a social club.
Making some new animations for my club's game room, today (I projection mapped the walls and table for running D&D--well, DCC, in my case).

Gammorean guard, taxidermied head wall mount sculpt. Wip. Tinkering as I have time.

HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Stop 2025, I want to get off.

Some progress on my decaying Gamorrean Guard wall hang.

What I got done on my decaying gamorrean guard sculpt tonight!

Creature token doodles continue. My first time using Krita in a while--and the first digital or iPad/Clip Studio thing in ages.

Messing around with some stylistic departures for my TTRPG tokens.

Found this work of mine in the wild. Bones Coffee Co. sells some of the SpongeBob art I made for Nickelodeon on bags 'n mugs.

Making quick character portraits for a kids D&D game my shop runs this Sunday. Like a billion more to go.

Mickey 17 is right up there with They Live for showing to normie friends and hoping some class consciousness might blossom in their skulls.

Out in the world, drawing chaos creatures for fun and no profit.

I agree completely.

Two years in, and I still can't believe I built this, game master here, and get to create adventures, art, animation for this space.

Tonight’s bedtime 3ttrpg token doodle. Another pulpy sci-fantasy alien-y monster.

Sitting next to @jentendo.bsky.social, working on #ttrpg tokens in the car.

I put a fez on everything. I'm feztive.

I have monster designs for Sam Raimi's production company created almost 20 years ago that I can't show.

And work from Mystery Science Theater 3000 that has been under NDA for, yeesh, around 10 years?

Gail's got it right.
Holy shit, that is so untrue. I have three productions I can’t say ANYTHING about right at this moment.
Not being allowed to disclose particulars is one thing, but not being allowed do disclose the production as a whole is essentially a non-existent circumstance. I have worked on dozens of productions, many of which had us sign NDAs, none were quite so secret.

I should revisit this clean, isometric #ttrpg map template I made for Affinity Designer at some point.

Recent #ttrpg token paintings.

Come with me on a journey. One of my many freelance gigs was creating art for Nick--SpongeBob art, specifically.

It needed to be weird enough that kids would think it rad, but not so weird parents wouldn't buy it. The dictate after the first round of revisions was to, paraphrasing, make it more me.

Cobbling together more simple tokens for my D&D VTT install.
