The Stan! Eggs (salmon deviled eggs) are chilling in the fridge. Each time I make them, they turn out a little different. I think today's batch is a little subtler and a little smoother than usual ... but delicious as always (based on my sampling of the remnants in the mixing bowl).

I'm taking the week off from livestreaming, but if you want a little extra Stan! in your holiday weekend, the Dragonlance Nexus has you covered. They've just released Episode 159 of the podcast and it's a feature-length interview with me.

Forgot to post my most recently completed cartoon homage from the 50 Years in the Dungeon show. This is a tip of the hat to @ericlofgren.bsky.social painting that was used by Phil Reed for "The Book of Dungeon Encounters."

Thinking of my best friend from my college years on what would have been his 62nd birthday. Sad to find that I don't have any digitized photos of him ... and I have no idea what boxes in my closet might contain the physical originals. Miss ya, 'Treuse.

Drawings from last night's livestream episode of Random Encounters. The randomly-and-audience-generated prompts were: Manticore Kicks a Football, Merfolk, TV Time, and Werewolf Breakfast Cereal.

Thanks for the inspiration @rayvallese.bsky.social

I really should dig up all my Typos of Doom and put them into an ebook or something.

Writing project proposals saps the life out of me. Like so many creatives, even after all these years I get nervous when proposing budgets, especially with a new client. It takes a force of will to remember that I need to propose HIGH and negotiate down ... also that I'm WORTH what I'm asking for.

Another fun evening of improv cartooning on tonight's Random Encounters livestream. Lot's of great input from the live chat together with the encounter tables gave us these randomly-generated drawing prompts: Carnivorous Plant UFO Encounter, Adventurers Sack the QB, and Vampire's Empty Pantry.
