Behold Greyhawk, one of my illustrations for the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide! Perhaps the piece I'm proudest of from the past year. I was able to take this one about 70% of the way to finish in acrylics, a major milestone for me.
A new artist proof painting coming with me to 'Tabletop.Me' this weekend! An alternate vision of Ancient Tomb.

I'm getting very antsy to reveal five pieces I painted for D&D's new Forgotten Realms books starting most of a year ago! More on this in a week, when I'm back from Dubai.

Very much looking forward to my trip to Dubai this weekend for the inaugural 'Tabletop.ME' event! It'll be my second trip to this most palatial city of the Middle East. Drop by and check out some cool art if you're also there!

"Sundial: Dawn Tyrant", illustrated for MTG Aetherdrift. I recently heard at a con that folks are calling my cryptid baby, 'Sunny D'. Love it!

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?

And I'm finished with my rendition of 'The Defect'! The Littlest Art Director (my son) took an interest in this piece, insisting I add the eyes peering out of the shadows as well as "more shading, Baba, do more shading". #slaythespire

"Trail of the Dream Titans", illustration for Numenera, 2017. Really quite a milestone piece. It showed what was possible with clients that trusted me to create something interesting from scratch, no brief or prompt of any kind.
