Yes, I really do each individual tree, trunk, patch of grass, etc. One brush, no stamps. Because it’s not just a map, it’s art.

Celebrating Skyrim day with food & gaming as is our annual tradition! My original map of Skyrim launched my cartography career in 2011 and is one of my favorite maps I've ever created. In 2021 I created an updated version for the 10th anniversary that hangs over our mantle and in Bethesda's office!

WIP on my Valley of Stars map that I'm working on with a small group of fellow artists to create lore, history, art, and more. I admit, there's something very relaxing about drawing the maps I do. Hours more to go but love it so far.

My next project map is redrawing the Valley of Stars from my Taur'Syldor map. I'm also creating lore, NPCs, towns, etc. for the region and hopefully getting some people to collaborate with me on it.

Ruebee of the Squee is supervising the painting of my office. It’s a beautiful dark plum color. Took pics of the now dry green and turquoise to show how they toned down a bit. Everything is getting black trim once done.

From blue to light sage green from living room to dining room. Love the colors we’re making our new home.

Getting a beautiful turquoise paint on the walls in the living room and entrance. It photographs more blue than turquoise but you get the idea.

Thank you, James, for the beautiful housewarming gift! The wind chimes sound so peaceful. Can’t wait for the evening to see it lit up! 💜

Goodbye creepy old house and “war torn” Portland. We’re heading down south to warmer and drier weather.

Though I will be seeing/hearing a lot more of these when we get back to AZ, I do love that they often passed through our backyard here.

Saying goodbye to Portland the same way I said hello with some Voodoo donuts! Thankfully there’s one in Tempe AZ 😁

Ruebee found my bin of art rags. She doesn’t quite fit but that’s not going to stop her from loafing.

Nestled in the crook of a mountain range lies Liora, a thriving mining town. Huge granite statues dot the landscape as 3 manmade canals bring fresh water from the mountain to the center lake. Built on three tiered cliffs, this walled town is a great place to explore, trade, and possibly call home.

Drawn 10ish yrs ago & now added to my stock illustration collection, this was an NPC for a campaign that my players never ended up meeting. Her story has been lost to the ages. I wonder who she was...

I'm taking one of my most popular maps and building a rich history, lore, NPCs, myths, and more for it! I've invited several people in the community to join in when they can and we'll be releasing our first module hopefully in January! I'm so excited for this!

Drawn 10ish yrs ago, this was a portrait on a wanted poster that my players took the bounty for. It ended up being another PC who joined the group for several adventures until their past caught up with them in an epic moment at our table.

Before the panini I was building up stock for some fun & unique items to offer at a booth during a con. However, life (and the world) had other plans. So now, I have several bits and bobs in my inventory that I'm offering at a discount so I don't have to take it with me when I
