Had a blast playing @dairykillsme.bsky.social’s Thieves of the Tome this evening at PAX Unplugged. Delightfully chaotic!

Finally getting the College of the Third Wave band together! Next up: character sheets for these guys.

Watched Jurassic Park this afternoon. I never noticed before how far from “spared no expense” the ice cream was.
Still frame from Jurassic Park in which John Hammond is eating ice cream from big budget tubs.

Cover Artists!

QRP with your covers 📖
Cover art for College of the Third Wave. A man in a Hawaiian shirt and checker-banded trilby, carrying a guitar and summoning magical trumpets, leaps above a mosh pit of medieval fantasy characters. Cover art for Quest for Owlbear Milk. An owlbear looks through an empty glass milk bottle, which comically distorts its eye. Cover art for We Are Grung V: Live Grung Hard with a Vengeance. Three anthropomorphic frog men tied to a fire hose leap off the top of an exploding building. Wraparound cover art for Denizens of the Blood Sands. A hulking mutant with many limbs prowls over ruins in a desert, hunting. It has one green-skinned woman in its clutches, and two other humanoid figures hide from it, ready to fight..

Drawing character art for folks is always a highlight of #GameholeCon for me. I love bringing these creative character concepts to life, especially when it comes to regulars. Bill and Jessica always have really fun, unique character ideas, and I had a blast drawing their group of beastfolk.
Photo of a man and a woman holding up three pieces of character art. Black and white illustration of an angry anthropomorphic bear wielding a war axe in one hand while making a throwing motion with the other arm, which is a mechanical prosthetic. Black and white illustration of a tabaxi wearing a cloak over leather armor and a bandolier of potions. A pair of goggles sit askew on his forehead, and he holds a crossbow in one hand. Black and white illustration of a leather armor-clad tabaxi leaping through the air, wielding a dagger in each hand, trailing trinkets out of a pouch, and with a wild grin on her face.

Drawing character art for folks is always a highlight of #GameholeCon for me. I love bringing these creative character concepts to life - like this tendril-haired dragon lady for Dave!
Black and white drawing of a humanoid, dragon-like woman with three long tendrils growing from her head reminiscent of suckerless octopus tentacles. She is dressed in a hoodie, t-shirt, and leggings. Photo of a man holding the artwork of his character.

Drawing character art for folks is always a highlight of #GameholeCon for me, especially when it comes to regulars. This is the 4th time I've drawn @ginnyloveday.com's niece Skylynn. She's been a mage, a rogue, a barbarian, and now a druid now that she has a cat!
Black and white drawing of a girl in a tunic and cloak wearing a cat on her head as if it were a hat. The cat seems okay with it. Photo of a purple-haired woman holding the artwork.

Drawing character art for folks is always a highlight of #GameholeCon for me, especially when it comes to regulars. This is the 5th time I've drawn @latiajacquise.com's dog Dio, each time as a different D&D class.

This year, Dio became a bard based on heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio!

Drawing character art for folks is always a highlight of #GameholeCon for me. I love bringing these creative character concepts to life - like this Goblin Druid and her tiara-wearing polar bear wildshape, a favorite childhood character of Bronwyn. Commissioned by @thomasvalley.com.
Black and white illustration of a goblin girl with a big grin on her face and arms flung open as if waiting for a hug. Lines of magic flow up from her and become a polar bear wearing a tiara, representing her transformative abilities. Pencil sketch of the illustration.

Drawing character art for folks is always a highlight of #GameholeCon for me. I love bringing these creative character concepts to life - like this card-slingin' cowboy (based on @steveconley.bsky.social's Death Dealer rogue subclass) for Rick.
Black and white drawing of a cowboy, eyes in the shadow of a wide-brimmed hat, mischievous grin on his face, wielding playing cards between his fingers. Photo of a man holding the drawing.

Got my contributor copies of Denizens of the Blood Sands (handed to me at GHC by @rpg-ramblings.bsky.social himself). This was a super fun project, and the books turned out great!
Photo of two copies of Denizens of the Blood Sands in my hand. Both digest-sized, one hardcover and one softcover. The cover features an illustration of a huge, mutated creature crawling over a ruined structure, seeking the sci-fi warriors hidden inside. In one hand, it has already captured a green-skinned woman. Photo of an illustration from Denizens of the Blood Sands. A robed person stands on a floating platform, casting a spell that is manipulating dozens of metal plates around him. In the foreground, two sci-fi warriors stand ready to battle the mage. Photo of a page from Denizens of the Blood Sands. The page includes stats for a "Lindworm, Great" and an illustration of the creature, which is a long, red, scaly wyrm shooting a stream of green caustic gas from its mouth. A skeleton can be seen inside caught inside. Photo of an illustration from Denizens of the Blood Sands. It depicts three round-bodied, tentacled robots with red screens for faces. One floats on its own, one has replaced the head of a hulking creature covered in chitinous spikes, and one has replaced the head of a green, four-armed creature wielding a spear made of scrap metal.

A few photos from #GameholeCon. As always, it was a fantastic show! We had a great time slinging art, playing games, and hanging out with friends old and new.
Photo of my wife and I in front of the Gamehole Con entrance. Photo of a D&D game, complete with battle mat covered in tokens, an iPad with a character sheet on it, and scattered dice. Photo of in-progress drawings of fantasy characters spread across a desktop. Photo of my convention table. On it is a book stand filled with coloring books, comics, and TTRPG zines. Behind it is a banner with my name and an illustration of a ska bard.
