Artist, designer, kids book author, geek, movie-goer. Just trying to be a little better today than yesterday.
Finished staining the Medieval Toppa & reduced the board to from 8x8 (top) to 7.5x7.5 (bottom). Not a huge difference but feels more proportional to me. I want to add some grooves to the board for accurate chip placement but overall not bad. #gamedesign #tabletopgame

I finally figured out how to do a “Medieval” version of Toppa. I’ve wanted to table at some Renn fairies in the future but bringing 3d and modern box printing didn’t seem appropriate. Rules stay the same, runes replacing the different color chips. #tabletopgames #gamedesign

This game has already gone through some quick iterations! From blocks to cards to 3d printed runes.
Will most likely make the runes 2 color when and if it works out as a playable game.

I think this is a board for a potential new take on the Pigeonhole game.
I’m really good at making boards first without knowing any of the game rules, lol.

Sometimes you get lucky and it's a good grouping of dots and easy to get single digits. Today was not one of those days, lol.

I’m pretty basic with how I think about my 3d designs. Mostly extruding flat layers into 3d. Part of that is how I get things to look 3d with only a one color printer but it’s also just how my brain works after 5 years of making things with a laser cutter, lol.

Playing around today with 3d text. This is also a font I designed for myself a while ago too.
Not sure what I’ll do with it yet, maybe add some rings to the back for a “brass knuckle” kind of thing?

The beginnings of my "Pigeonhole Principle" game. Kind of an experiment to see if I can make a game with the fewest possible number of pieces (currently 15. 10 cards & 5 blocks). #gamedesign #tabletopgames

Might have to make a daily 6x6 Solo Toppa to have a more challenging option for people play.

Been a while since I did an index of posters.
Certainly not a complete representation. Mostly the poster work I've done for my own creative fulfillment over the past 25 YEARS! (I'm sure I've missed more than a few thanks to my ever-so creative file labeling system). #posterart #posterartist

A bit of card and box art I did for “Escape from Horrorwood” from NewVenture Games. I like all cards but the Werewolf and Mummy are probably my favorites! #tabletopgames #gameart

Been a while since I cut anything on the laser (preoccupied with my 3d printer I guess) but I figured since I recently got the rights back to this graphic I’d make some wooden postcards & bookmarks for upcoming shows. #lasercutting

If I ever get an app made for Toppa I’d love for it to save a history of points scored similar to Wordle.
I wonder if it’s worth adding a max number of turns so there’s a chance of “losing”?
