High Tide 🌊 ✨ Hey guys I just finished this new painting in my ongoing series of paintings called ‘A Starry Place’ where I explore spaces that are meaningful and nostalgic to me. This piece is inspired by overcoming insurmountable challenges.

If you're an artist wanting to break through in TTRPG illustrations and feel like you need an Art Directors feedback on your current portfolio. Feel free to reach out, comment or DM me here.
I feel like the industry is hard enough as is. I will reply slow but I'll do my best to support! 💜

A brief respite.

A halloween illustration painted on top of a Magic: The Gathering Forest Land card originally by Christopher Rush (not an expensive one!). The image depicts a badger dressed as a skeleton, a fox dressed as a wizard, an otter dressed as a pumpkin, and a chipmunk on the badger's shoulder - trick or treating in a forest and approaching a door in a tree with a jack o lantern out front.

My 3rd alter on a Magic: The Gathering Forest card (beta!) for one of my patrons who collects Halloween alters. So tiny!!!!

Frog tape for the win, btw. Such crisp edges!

huge dragon (only the head visible) resting in a body of water in a forest. Lots of vines and tree branches dangling down, a stream running over its head and a great white egret taking off from the water next to it.

a mermaid with a pink tail resting on a rock and leaning back on her hands as her tail comes out of the water. In the background is a lagoon and some cliffs and further back the hint of a waterfall

a precarious tall hill with a wizard's house sitting on top of it with a wisp of smoke coming out of the chimney. It is dusk and all the windows are yellow with the light from inside.

a large winged blue dragon prepares to land on a nest with two baby blue dragons waiting in the nest for their dinner.

been working on this over the summer, it's been really nice to work so much on a single image and I think I learned quite a lot doing it! please share it with your favorite art directors.

a little treat for you to bookmark.

Character painting of a feline humanoid dressed in adventure clothing. She holds an open book in her hands

Here's a new character painted for the upcoming #humblewood book for @hitpointpress.bsky.social. "Zaya" is painted in oils on sealed paper. She's based on a great design by the amazing Steve Prescott. Love getting to do characters like this!

Oil painting of a huge blue and white sea worm (with tiny little grabby hands along its belly) fighting a raft with a few unlucky people on it.

You notice the tiny grabby hands in 3… 2… 1…

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: - data centers pollute our environment - energy use drives up costs - content theft robs creators of income - the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages - using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence - the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Excited to be a part of this event in a few weeks!!
