Had the opportunity to do some illustration and writing for a Mothership trifold with @lionhearth.bsky.social for the TripTech Game Jam. We packed this thing full. Easily 3-4 sessions to get through it all. Check it out!

Hey! been a little bit as I have been slammed with “day job” type work lately.
Speaking of, I co-own a marketing and design firm who is looking to add a full-time designer. If you’re a designer who works in the toys or games space I’d love to hear from you if interested

Last night my wife and I started building out a fantasy world using Worldwizard from Jason Lutes. We are about 60% through the Primordial Age, but it’s shaping up nicely and this game has sparked some really cool ideas already. Excited to keep building!
Very cool system, highly recommend.

Fun fact, I play guitar in a little hardcore band called No Advocate that dropped a single today. I also had the pleasure of doing the design and artwork for the EP coming 4.18.
Check it out out if you’re into that sort of thing!

I posted this image in the Forbidden Lands subreddit and this comment made me a little more emotional than it probably should have.
I can make stuff that makes people want to explore worlds they may not have otherwise, and that just does it for me.

What was supposed to be a little pamphlet one shot turned into a 12-page adventure (oops). Writing is done, got the layout roughed in, and knocked out a cover. Time for maps and illustrations.
Tower of the Corpsewright will be the first tabletop project where I did it all!

The fact that photos of the mayor of Knox County, TN powerbombing the secretary of education exist is something I think about at least once a day. Crazy timeline.

I was that kid who waited until 10pm the night before to tell my mom I needed a poster board for my science fair project and now I do it to myself whenever I have a personal project I have to make artwork for. Almost there!

Putting some work in with the dip pen. It’s a challenge but it’s been a fun change up.
Also, gnolls are highly underrated in a world of goblins and kobolds.

This is Vargo, a goblin knight of the Order of the Gnashers, and his trusty wolf Bombo. Vargo is my character for a co-op campaign my wife and I are doing in Forbidden Lands. I’ll be doing a blog that documents the campaign with the first post coming soon!
