One of the best photos I’ve ever taken and it was with an iPhone, five years ago. In Louisville. I never figured out the story behind this. And sadly the building was torn down.

Building the map of Faerun!
So many fun moments and to highlight and my favourite part of a project like this is creating little storytelling vignettes to discover.

Colourful map of Faerun with a large compass rose in the bottom left corner. The map doesn't have any borders or roads but features simplified versions of major locations and oversized monsters running about (like a beholder, kobolds, skeletons, and lots of dragons).

It's as shame social media posts don't really do this sorta thing justice: a map of faerun that I got to do for @dndbeyond.com and @extralife4kids.bsky.social!

A sketch that looks like a 5 year old did it showing the same scene, with a goofy head saying "I'm huge" where the boss should be.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I remember regularly dying to a rebounding saw blade from the saw blade gun. Loved it.

Haven’t read his entire bibliography but this is still my favourite Hendrix book.

RSS was one of the truly great inventions of the Internet—entirely decentralized sharing to your own personalized feed of the internet—and every company is working hard to kill it.

It’s October so once again it is my duty to inform you about Ryan Gosling’s horror themed band Dead Man’s Bones who are actually INSANELY good. This is a live performance of “My Body’s a Zombie for You”

My favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."
