Thank you @dndbeyond.com for the Heroes of Faerun expansions! Gorgeous covers (including the alts)! I can't wait to dive into them!
Don't mind the very colorful background, it's the only available surface space I had in my office! 😆

Are you enjoying the new Mighty Nein animated series? If so, welcome to the Dwendalian Empire! I created this map for Matthew Mercer who presented this to the cast in Ep 4 of the original campaign! This is where the adventure begins!

Yes, I really do each individual tree, trunk, patch of grass, etc. One brush, no stamps. Because it’s not just a map, it’s art.

Celebrating Skyrim day with food & gaming as is our annual tradition! My original map of Skyrim launched my cartography career in 2011 and is one of my favorite maps I've ever created. In 2021 I created an updated version for the 10th anniversary that hangs over our mantle and in Bethesda's office!

WIP on my Valley of Stars map that I'm working on with a small group of fellow artists to create lore, history, art, and more. I admit, there's something very relaxing about drawing the maps I do. Hours more to go but love it so far.

My next project map is redrawing the Valley of Stars from my Taur'Syldor map. I'm also creating lore, NPCs, towns, etc. for the region and hopefully getting some people to collaborate with me on it.

Ruebee of the Squee is supervising the painting of my office. It’s a beautiful dark plum color. Took pics of the now dry green and turquoise to show how they toned down a bit. Everything is getting black trim once done.

From blue to light sage green from living room to dining room. Love the colors we’re making our new home.

Getting a beautiful turquoise paint on the walls in the living room and entrance. It photographs more blue than turquoise but you get the idea.

Goodbye creepy old house and “war torn” Portland. We’re heading down south to warmer and drier weather.

Though I will be seeing/hearing a lot more of these when we get back to AZ, I do love that they often passed through our backyard here.

Saying goodbye to Portland the same way I said hello with some Voodoo donuts! Thankfully there’s one in Tempe AZ 😁

Nestled in the crook of a mountain range lies Liora, a thriving mining town. Huge granite statues dot the landscape as 3 manmade canals bring fresh water from the mountain to the center lake. Built on three tiered cliffs, this walled town is a great place to explore, trade, and possibly call home.
