I like to believe that when my friends talk about me in my absence they start their conversations with, "When last we saw our hero..."

He's new. Lich King. He's in book three.

My name is Allen Panakal. I'm a Graphic Designer turned Illustrator. I primarily work on my creator-owned series, Ancient Ones.

"So pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games..."

My list of things I need to finish is vast at this point. Vacations are nice but then playing catch-up is brutal.

With all the evil happening in the world finding peace has been difficult. I started listening to Lord of the Rings narrated by Andy Serkis and it's giving me hope.

"There's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Good information if you're thinking about using the new system to design your game.

Not everything happening makes sense, but you know what does make sense? Art. Art makes sense. I'm going to do a little art. I'm going to bring a little bit of beauty into the world.
Focus on the positive. Ignore the negative.

First time it's an accident. Second time it's a coincidence. Third time there's enemy activity.

It's both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very acutely.

"Say it in the street, that's a knock-out. But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out. And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?""

They're not. None of them are.
