My surly merchant sells the finest plums down by the river ~ but think carefully before you make a deal with him...

I really should do more of them
I'm wide open for work right now, if anyone's looking! I have lots of experience in gaming (card/ttrpg) spaces and I'm trying to work my way into book covers. More in my portfolio at kimsokol.com, signal boosts appreciated!
If you see this, post an eye 👁️
An oldie but still makes me laugh.
The card printings change and it seems like they are getting more and more resistant to water based markers. I'm switching to just avoid any problems and just accepting there is going to be a drying time.
Tip for MagicCon attendees getting signatures. More of us artists have to switch to oil based pens so get something like this to put your cards in so they can dry while you walk to the next artist.

9"x12" paint marker and acrylic paint on board. Someone out there commissioned a food token sketch at an SCG and I decided to do another take on it.
This is still baffling me. The RPG customer base would know the artwork has been run through AI and a large portion would likely be ticked off! The homogenizing of the artwork at the cost of money and customer satisfaction. I do not get it. I do not see the upside for artist, publisher, or customer.
If you ever see my work but it's been glossed up by some AI, I promise you, that was not my doing. My old artwork is what it is and that's me. I'm not letting some AI ghoul climb into my skin and pretend it's me.
Groan...an old client of mine (not WotC) wants to feed my art into AI for a new edition and pay me. I said no. Looks like some of the other artists agreed to it. After burning with red hot rage for a minute, I'm now just so disappointed in everyone and having to battle this crap all the time.
Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.
This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.
Hey all, my playmat kickstarter has finally launched (and already funded!) You can find the link in the comment below!
Closing late pledges this afternoon. If you consider backing, do it now or forever hold your peace! Hope Springs Eternal is a 126-page supplement for th Daggerheart TTRPG by @darringtonpress.bsky.social .
Thanks! I'll shoot him a text
Any recommendations on where to get custom tokens printed?
HPP just launched a KS for Big Bads for 5e which I have really enjoyed my comp copy of the previous one. They were nice enough to give me a referral link for those interested www.kickstarter.com/projects/hit...
The Good: lost 25lbs in past 30 days. The Bad: because I could barely eat.
Had surgery today to get back to normal. Laid up and home brewing some DH adversaries.
Thank you!
Spider Flower. 9"x12". Oils. Thought I'd make a plant token.
That sounds cool. It's inspired by Erin Hunter's Survivors book where the dogs tell each other that the wind is the spirits of dogs chasing deer.
Yep and some work that flopped online will do great at events and others that spread well on the internet will fail at events. In the moment though it can be hard to remember when nobody reacts to a piece.
Thanks so much!
I believe it! I know I always read the newsletters from art friends. I should probably use mine.
17 likes no retweets. That's how the original sharing of this piece on X did years ago. Meanwhile this is my first or second most financially successful piece I've ever done. I found it's a good reminder that those social numbers don't mean much and to just keep making.
I really wanna eat an anomalocaris
(Also dm me if you’d like a commission i have some availability coming up)
Returning to events here in 2026 after a break. Might add two more. I'll be at GenCon but as an attendee with my son so maybe you'll see me at an RPG session! I think a lot of work is releasing this year.
I invite you join me this Friday, January 30, for a nationwide general strike to protest this administration’s actions against American citizens. Each of us has a voice and we are capable of great change together. I encourage you to do what you can. More info here: nationalshutdown.org
Minnesota is the best of us.
Thanks! I know I didn't make any and I don't remember the world guide even having concept art of the sword alone. Just the stone with all the swords in it and I'm not allowed to share that sort of thing.
