I'm at the point where the roles have reversed with my 13 year old. Now he's the one talking ME through video game puzzles and I hand HIM the controller when I get to a platforming or boss section that I'm stuck on. It's kind of beautiful.

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳

I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️

Drawing pictures is one of the most fun, satisfying, challenging, beautiful things you can do. Making a terrible ugly drawing is so pure and gorgeous and human and I can't believe anyone would let a robot pretend to do that for them.

My partner asked me to draw Miss Norway from memory and I drew this and she told me to post it so here it is.

Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.

If I started a Patreon in 2026 what kinds of things would get you to sign up? Art theory blog posts? Longer Storybook illustration history vids? Stock RPG artwork? Art process deep dives?

Energy over accuracy every time. Drawing gives you the power to dig deeper than the mere appearance of a thing and convey its ESSENCE through the myriad of choices you make when creating.
The search for accuracy, especially in anatomy, is just a race to the bottom where all you get is stiff figures and mathematical looking backgrounds. Completely soulless drawing.
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

Initial sketch and completed illustration of this warrior princess. I really liked how the sword looked just flat black so I had to leave it.

Really wanted to dig in deep on the layers and textures for that midcentury pre-separated art look. Working on a new Gift for the Perils & Princesses TTRPG called “Glimmering Allure” a full on, deeply charming sparkle princess. Bits of Cinderella, Aurora, Giselle and Buttercup.

Love to hear it! Hope you have a a blast!
Just picked up a copy of "Perils & Princesses" by @outridercreative.bsky.social and it looks so fun!

A set of tiaras is already in the mail.

Still life of some tools of the trade for a dark wizard. When doing a simple composition with just a few objects, I really try to push the textural component as far as I can to give character and history to these things.

Finally got my Dolmenwood rewards! I didn’t realize that it was gonna be loaded with @arlinortiz.bsky.social maps and @rachelquinlan.bsky.social art! What a treat. 😍

Who’s nerdier, me or Mom?
Kid: You.
Me: But mom knits herself leg warmers while pointing out costume inaccuracies in period dramas.
Kid: You draw princesses all day.
Me: Hey, yesterday I drew gnomes and wizards.
Kid: Not helping.
Anyway, here’s a quick princess drawing.

Pretty happy with where this warrior princess is headed in this “quick” sketch. Aka 45 minutes of drafting and planning and posing to get a good foundation for a finished piece later.

Love having a media-literate teenager. Halfway through Frankenstein he goes, “Ohh, so Eleven from Stranger Things is just Frankenstein’s monster. Oh, and Edward Scissorhands too.” Yes. So very much, yes.

I think I’m a decent enough game designer, ok writer, and serviceable game master. I’m an experienced artist and visual designer. The skill I’m really confident in, is assembling all of the above to cultivate immaculate, evocative vibes. I’m a certified vibe-smith. A high-level vibe-mancer.

Honored to be name-dropped by folks I admire alongside some astounding company. This is a must-listen for folks in the indie TTRPG scene and honestly, anyone promoting themselves. Be yourself! Don't use your linkedin voice!

If you need a high-octane found family heist one-shot, why haven't you tried GOBLIN PROM yet????!?! My players absolutely hung from rafters, heisted a crown, impressed their crushes, disintegrated warthog statues, and peeled out in a mustang. 10/10 from @outridercreative.bsky.social's brain
