If you've looked at my sensitivity consulting rate and went "oh I don't have the budget for that", you can still email me!

If you're BIPOC and/or an indie project, I'm flexible about my rate.

I keep saying this, but I feel like some of ya'll don't wanna undercut me. We can chat! Truly!

the animated armors of January.

black and illustration of four animated plate armors, in different fighting poses, all wielding swords of different lengths and shapes. one is from the bronze age, the other is ancient roman, the third is from the renaissance and the final one is purely fantasy-inspired.

Hello!

You may think you are feeling impostor syndrome, but did you stop to consider it may actually be a reaction to being silently (or loudly ) invalidated in society and in the TTRPG community?

They feel similar, but they arent the same thing.

When you make two of the funniest people on the planet laugh, it feels like "The Sauce!"

It was an absolute joy to talk with Jacob Wysocki and Oscar Montoya about @dimension20.bsky.social 's Gladlands!

A new episode of 'Anton Talks' will be dropping over on @thecomicon.bsky.social soon!
Jacob Wysocki and Oscar Montoya laugh along with a smiling Anton, who is just so happy to be in this room talking to these wildly talented creators. Text on the top of the screen reads "This is the sauce!" The logos for Dimension 20, Gladlands, and Anton Talks at Comicon.com are below.

Also if you're a layout designer willing to trade services, then that's nearly always a yes from me.

I get it. Not everyone wants to pay a subscription to get something. You do get more as a patron, BUT if you JUST want this issue of #FanGeo, you can buy the post for only $3!

And that's not just me: If there's a contributor you want to support, buy it from them!

Something crazy is that I keep opening people's #zinemonth project pages or newsletters and seeing my mockups at work in their promotional material!

I am so happy that people I don't know are finding these tools!
They're on sale through Feb 3rd still!

Thanks so much to everyone for the support

On February 1st, I'll be launching the new Expedition Tome tier 2026, with a backlog of more than 126 stock art posts, where new subscribers will also receive weekly new stock assets, including monthly-exclusive ones + access to the entire personal use backlog of the other tiers.

illustrations from my Patreon tier headers gathered together around my Patreon's logo, comprised of a journal having its pages flipped inside a hexagon. The drawings are of a map with miniature and dice above it; some journals with hex locations; a leather travel journal with loose maps and pages inside, resting near a cut log; and finally, a big tome above some maps near a bedroll and a camp pot with steaming stew inside.
