I am Luke Parnell, I play and design board and card games. I have been a professional artist for 20 years, avid hiker and northerner.
While this space will centre on board game design I will also show my art practice.

This was a rough week, on the weekend a tooth I was supposed to have removed broke (health problems delayed it). The left side of my face swelled up and the pain was excruciating, I couldn’t see the dentist till Wednesday so now I’m just recovering, I was suppose to be working on this beauty.

The board for ‘Twas the Night, is done. I’m not super happy with the colours but it’s better than black and white.

Second street coloured, unfortunately I don’t have any light brown markers so I tried pointalism with the dark brown, it’s meh. When you take a Christmas cookie card there is a festive dad joke that you say out loud to score on a track.

I’m colouring the board for ‘Twas the Night, today. That’s the name of the Christmas game I’m working on.

I got to playtest the game last night and it does work. The goal of the game is to lift everyone’s Christmas spirit.
I wish I took some pictures, I always get caught up and forget to take pictures. It looks great on the table even though there is little colour and it is very prototypy.

I made all the cards and the chits for my Christmas themed game. The board is out for printing, it’s just being printed black & white on paper. I just need to make the custom dice and the Christmas cards which will have a dry erase board and each players scoring formula.

This is the board for the Christmas game I’m making to play with my family, the art is a mix of original art and free icons I assisted. I’m pretty happy with the composition tho. I’ll print it black and white on poster paper, maybe I’ll get a few and hand colour one. I’m really pantsing it here.

Xmastreeopoly, is just a working title for the Christmas themed game I’m making to play with my family this year. I’ll start working on the prototype today and start solo playtesting by Wednesday. It a quick turnaround but I’m inspired!
This purely a passion project so I’m having fun playing around

I’m making a game to play with my family at Christmas. They know monopoly and they enjoy Cards against Humanity. I decided to base the game around those 2 games. I’ve been working on it for 3 days and will start on prototype later today. I’ll share more as it goes, happy holidays!

The Witcher old world solo, Defeat! I beat the Legendary Monster but I ran out of cards so I drove it off, unfortunately it only had two move cards left so I lost. I should have waited one more turn and grabbed a couple more cards, plus my cards didn’t combo so well.

Look what I got in today! A bit of a delivery delay but it all worked out. Fate of Witches: The Coven Building Game, unboxing. I know nothing about the game, I bought it because of the card art.

In the last year my art has graced the cover of two books. “Fall of Man” on the cover of Aesthetics of Repair by Eugenia Kisin,
“Neon Reconciliation Explosion” on the cover of Revue D’etudes Autochtones. They both feature an interview with yours truly. #lukeparnellart

Since my Game is called War Canoe I took some pics of the Bill Reid Canoe in Vancouver and the canoe at the Digby island airport in Prince Rupert. I’ll use them for references in the card art, I’m working on the game today.

Thanks for hosting this artshare!
I'm a semi-retired freelancer (due to disability). Most of my work is digital mixed media and leans towards darker themes. These are some of my more recent pieces.
