A digital sketchbook page featuring several human figures in robes, a stylized version of Griffith from Berserk, various satyrs, buildings, plants, bits of smoke and clouds. A digital sketchbook page. The upper portion features panels and objects such as pens, flowers, bottles, cloud formations, plants, etc. There are several humanoid figures scattered throughout, including a satyr, a moth person, two embattled witches, and a small girl wearing a winter coat. The bottom of the page features several stone buildings as well as different tree shapes. A digital sketchbook page featuring several satyr figures (two in baker's uniforms holding loaves of bread), an anthropomorphic cat in an apron, a witch with a large starry-themed hat, a thin figure with small angel-like wings, and a sketch of Elias from Ancient Magus' Bride. The largest panel shows a twisted tree covered in charms and bells, with a small door at the base of the trunk and a bird perched on top. Other decorative elements include dried herbs, a bear-shaped clay oven, baking tools, and various kinds of bread. A digital sketchbook page filled with panels and drawings. In the upper left, a tree growing branches upward. Beneath, fungi creatures. Cityscapes, silhouettes of plants, studies of hands, two figures under an umbrella, one blushing from behind with a fan, one holding a large art portfolio, one with their hands clasped in prayer.

focusing on skill doesn't make your art better or make you like your art more. the most miserable self-loathing artists are often the most professionally skilled.

what makes you like your art is whether you actually like it, it's that simple. and if you don't like it, make something you will.

A painting of a new Fyndhorn Elves Magic: The Gathering card. Two elves, a dark skinned woman in green robes and pale skinned male in green armor, are performing a magic spell in a forest. Vines that blossom with flowers spiral in towards the elves' hands as they cast their spell. The same illustration as previous, but as a textless Magic: the Gathering Card, with a border labeling it as Fyndhorn Elves.

I had the honor of painting the 2026 Commandfest Promo version of the Fyndhorn Elves card! I will be at Commandfest in Tacoma, WA in July if you want yours signed! :) (and tentatively one other location but I'm waiting for official confirmation).

Halfway to rent and our rent is due TOMORROW! Jittery time lapse representing the state of my mind.

€1000 over two days is highly unlikely but very sale saves us from accumulating more debt!

probably my favorite illustration I did for Scholar's Codex, for the Elden Ring section @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social

"Marika bathed the village of her home in gold,
knowing full well that there was no one to heal."

I just like to remind folks every so often I've got a blog where I post pictures of paperbacks that I find (and even scans from my collection!). It's my side hobby to also find the names of artists for uncredited covers and share more neat art with others :)

today is the 2nd anniversary of the release of my first graphic novel The Gulf. That this book has mattered to anyone, has meant the world to me. I'm making something bigger and weirder because of you.:o)

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

Hey, remember a few weeks ago when I said this game is "a keenly-observed look at young adult life/love in the early 2000s" and also "the writing is exceptional, balancing wry humor with raw emotional honesty?" No? Well, it's still true, except now the game's on sale. SUPPORT INDIE DEVS!
