"James Joyce is a good model for punctuation. He keeps it to an absolute minimum. There’s no reason to blot the page up with weird little marks. I mean, if you write properly you shouldn’t have to punctuate."

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

There are lots of amazing shots in Game of Thrones, but this one of a lone rider with Winterfell in the background will always be my favourite. It's just a stunningly well put together image.

Happy to finally get this to tabletop rather than BGA. Remembering to take all the resource income and roll the combat dice was my biggest mistake. Still finished at a respectable 253-249! Love! #boardgames @stonemaiergames.com
