It's WONDERFUL ❤️

@darringtonpress.bsky.social this should be featured in the next manual ❤️🤌🏽

Got a drafting stool from the 70's to match the drafting machine - new workstation completed! 🤌🏽

It's almost 80 inches across 😂 it surely takes some space.

Is there any chance you remember what was that tiny level/knob for? On more premium models there were hatchers, but this doesn't seem to be connected to anything! 👀

Thrift find! Today I found a Zucor drafting machine from the 80's - with a damaged arm for almost nothing. I spent the morning sanding, cleaning and restoring it and... It's almost brand new, works like a charm in every part now, and the table is SO STABLE, 0 wobbles at all! Weights almost 80 lbs 😂

Yes, take your time and don't rush it - take it easy on your body 🤎

Aw, so sorry to read: please take care friend!❤️‍🩹

🤤 thank youuu

One of the best books about gothic architecture (not too technical or focused on obscure terminology) with gorgeous multi-page illustrations. It's one of my foremost inspirations when I do gothic-inspired maps!

If I may suggest a good read!

As a vegan in training... Mind sharing the recipe?👀❤️

When you buy 10m/32ft of bubble wrap but the seller ships you 100m/320ft 👀

I'm gonna wrap artworks forever.

Do you want to put MORE pepper into your Daggerheart campaign? Carlos, one of the authors of DH campaign frames, created your perfect supplement!

I received my artist copies of the new rulebooks for @dndbeyond.com Forgotten Realms! They are nothing short of incredible, the alt cover (it's single artwork split in 4 pages!) by @dominikmayerart.bsky.social is a masterpiece! Honored to be part of this legacy with my first watercolor maps!

Treasure Planet was released 23 years ago today... and literally takes us off in this magnificent shot. ✨

One month left to be two years sober - can't wait to celebrate that milestone spending money on tiny plastic friends or paints and not booze 👀 (I chose clearly the most expensive option)

Not just that one, there are clearly multiple cartographers/battlemap artists that got ripped off.

A bunch of horrible A/I generated crappy maps

A bunch of horrible A/I generated crappy maps

The sheer amount of Patreons dedicated to scam people with A/I generated battlemaps is absolutely revolting. FFS, some of them have 5k+ subscribers and create UTTERLY SENSELESS crap, with jumbled grids or janky perspectives. What the hell, people?

I'm actually scanning a handwritten font :)

I'm in the process to do exactly that!

Incredibly saddened to learn about the passing of one of my all-time favorite singers. "You can get it if you really want" is and will be my go-to cheer-me-up song. Rip Jimmy

Ouff, feeling you and sorry!

I misread it as "cultists" but I mean. Why not, after all.
