AFTER BLUE (PARADIS SALE) was my introduction to the works of Bertrand Mandico. His bold, theatrical style has been a huge influence on the look of FAIRY DUST. I love how dream-like his imagery feels.

I love this Weird Fantasy series with the Bugmen, @stefanpoag.bsky.social
"The Gifts of the Magi" Woke up this morning to a serious leak in the roof - right above my drawing table! Luckily, nothing important was on the table at the time, but where will I work? #stefanpoag #illustration #penandink #osr #osrrpg #insects #worldbuilding #weirdfantasy #artistlife #studiolife

Stefan Poag doing a touch of Funhouse Dungeon crossed with Hell and Dante, and Erol Otus squidgeyness on his Wacom -- I love it. That poor single fighting man at 5 O'Clock has his work cut out for him

Still trying to stick with drawing - doing some changes in terms of make making, technique and tools. Hope everyone is well - #stefanpoag #illustration #blackandwhite #wacom #drawing #line

Hey Kennon - are you and J Pop still thinking of releasing "Mayhem at Mulgrane Farm" - I thought the company title alone was awesome and I'd love to see what you guys did with Pig-Faced Orcs.

My buddy @dysonlogos.bsky.social not only jumps on the bandwagon but designs his own.
Bandwagons, jumping someone else's train, etc, etc.

Kennon James ( @kennon9.bsky.social ) is fast becoming my favourite OSR artist out there! When this guy draws a mess o' pig-orcs them orcs is DRAWN!

Hope the shout-out PLUS art isn't crossing a line, Kennon! Are you and John Popson still going to release "Mayhem at Mulgraine Farm"?

Ten years ago I first came back to the OSR using the Menzer B/X rule book and running this group of my friends through about 10 dungeons before things collapsed as they often do for adults trying to schedule anything. This was a lot of fun, tho.

Seriously Bruno - if you ever need someone to spot-check your English for the proper use of phrasing or idioms, I’m happy to read it over and poke it into colloquial
English, man.
Hey, Joe! Good to see you here. ^^

I understand English reasonably well, but I don't feel able to write or speak the language without the help of an automatic translator. 😅

I wonder how many of those TTRPG designers who used to brag about their games having no art or layout—because the rules are what's important—have since started filling half of every page with AI slop.
I'd say probably somewhere around 100%

In honour of Transexual Day of Visability, here's an image of Jennell Jaquays - Jennell was a key designer for both Judge's Guild and TSR Games, she had an extensive run in video game design.

Amen to this...
This was adopted by the late Alasdair Gray (author of Poor Things and much else) as a personal motto and at the moment its the main thing keeping me from collapsing into the paralysis of total despair.

@brazenhead.bsky.socialJust wanted to tell you that you have my favourite BlueSky moniker in MONTHS.
