Dee Forrest (commissions open)

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Just wrapped up another haunt season at #MassacreHauntedHouse in #MontgomeryIllinois

Dee Forrest (scare actor) intensely lit with low key high contrast red light. He's dressed as the Anticardinal, upside down cross carved into his furrowed brow. Text: Anticardinal: I want to hear your confession. Guest: I am a defense attorney, I was on the Drew Peterson defense team. Anticardinal: Ooo. That's naughty. Wait Prove it... Is Drew Peterson a piece of shit? Guest: Yes. Anticardinal: It IS true!!! Ok. Off to hell with you.

Allegedly a true story...

Michigan Avenue right now.

lack and white drawing of a man with long hair and a beard wearing a suit and tie, standing against a red background. He has an angry expression. A speech bubble near his head says, “No gods. No masters.”

Just a friendly reminder that you don’t need permission.

How does an #UberDriver actually get help from “support”? I’ve waited MONTHS to add rides to my Eats account. Every call ends the same: “wait longer” → ask for supervisor → click. Unreal, #Uber #GigWork #Rideshare #CustomerService

a very boring and generic page saying I modified my account.

I wish this was a more dramatic image. But I've decoupled Hulu from my Spotify.

I kind of wish I still had Disney+ so I could cancel it again.

It's very important as we process the death of #CharlieKirk that we remember Trump is in the Epstein files.

Gray unpainted resin miniature of a hooded figure in ragged robes, crouched dynamically while raising a staff with mechanical details. Stands on a square base textured with grit.

Ink and wash illustration of a towering post-apocalyptic warrior. Bald, with makeshift armor covered in spikes, bones, and scavenged parts. Holds a staff topped with a “One Way” street sign; heavy ink splatter emphasizes menace.

Last of the five — production Tommy varied a lot from the concept, but this one still came through with strong presence. Another from the canceled Anvil 8 line I acquired, getting slapchop high-contrast prep before hitting my Etsy shop. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop

Ink and wash drawing of a rugged fighter in patchwork armor with a hooded cloak. A stitched doll hangs from their chest as a talisman. They wield a heavy club, their stance radiating defiance.

Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same character, hooded and armored, raising a club overhead in a striking pose. Belted gear and stitched armor details are visible. The figure stands on a textured square base.

Here’s “Quinn” — hooded brawler and survivor, another mini from the canceled Anvil 8 project I now carry forward. Getting prepped for slapchop high-contrast paint before heading to my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic miniature. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop

nk and wash illustration of a grim-faced medic. Wearing a patched apron over gear and tools, with a large backpack and cap. She grips a tall staff in one hand. Background splattered with ink shadows.

Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same character, posed holding a staff with both hands. Outfitted with pouches, straps, and survival gear. She stands on a textured square base with grit and scattered rocks.

Meet “Dr. Anne” — field medic and survivalist, part of the canceled Anvil 8 line I now carry forward. Prepping her for slapchop high-contrast paint before she joins the others in my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic mini. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop

Ink and wash illustration of a masked warrior in segmented armor. The figure wears a barred helm and holds two large jagged swords, surrounded by ink splatter that emphasizes their dark and dangerous presence.

Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same armored fighter, posed dynamically with arms spread wide holding two spiked, heavy blades. The figure stands on a square textured base with grit and rocky detail.

Next up is “Cath” — one of the five minis I designed for Anvil 8 Games. Dual-blade armored fighter with a grim silhouette. Prepping for slapchop high-contrast paint before listing in my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic mini. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop

Ink and wash illustration of the same character. A futuristic mercenary with braided hair, high collar covering mouth, and layered tactical armor. They carry a machine pistol with suppressor, smoke and shadow effects surrounding the figure.

Gray unpainted plastic miniature of a futuristic fighter with tactical gear. The figure holds a compact submachine pistol in one hand and has a scarf or mask covering most of their face. They stand on a textured square base with grit.

Prepping “Heather” for #slapchop high-contrast paint—one of five minis I designed for Anvil 8 Games. Project was canceled, but I acquired the line and will be featuring them as system-agnostic figures in my Etsy shop soon. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop

Oh MAGAts… It sucks the rest of us have to live through your imminent FO phase — #FuckMAGA #FOphase #ClownShow #Cult45 #LoserEnergy #Satire #FuckTrump

People who throw tantrums when I card them for cigarettes can fuck right the fuck off.

He’s back—fifth sortie today. Fills his cheeks and vanishes. Each run he gets a little closer. I’ve started placing snacks nearer to me. He’s cautious, but I think I’m being trained.

Early morning sketch session on the porch. Feeding squirrels, drawing monsters, and running on Rockstar instead of sleep. Nature’s loud, the deck’s creaky, and life’s alright.

A Victorian bruiser with mutton chops like blades. Dagher is all fists and grit. He doesn’t see the Vaesen—but he believes.

An older priest with white, wild hair and haunted eyes. His collar is crisp, but his soul is frayed. He recites prayers to gauge how close the veil is—if the words turn sour, something is listening. He’s a man of faith, not certainty.

A stern woman with a square jaw and small round glasses peers coldly through the gloom. Dressed in rationalist gray with a high collar and choker. Occultist. Scholar.

Meet the team I built for @vaesen-rpg.bsky.social—equal parts séance, sermon, and street fight.

Thora Dremer (Occultist)
Father Franklin Grey (Priest)
Dagher Falk (Officer, Sightless—but not clueless)

I love @vaesen-rpg.bsky.social — easily the most charming RPG I’ve read. Here’s a Vaesen I designed: the Plague Prince.

He spins moonlight into golden baubles to lure noble daughters into his pond kingdom.

t would be cool if y'all grounded your support of sex workers, NSFW artists, trans women and such in the fact that it's the right thing to do and not in the fact that they might come for you later. We are people with lifes worth living too.

Did I tell you why I'm unemployed?

For standing up when my junior devs were told to work 60+ hour weeks unpaid. I spoke up.

I was let go.

I’d do it again. Looking for teams that value people over profit.

I don’t know if this counts, but in my B/X and OSE games, I let thieves wield grappling hooks as primary weapons. Nothing says “improvised, brutal, and sketchy” like swinging one into a guard’s face. 🪝
