As I leave one con behind (had my best Denver Fan Expo yet), I head to another in a few days (Lilac City Comic Con), and I look forward to being Artist Guest of Honor at another at the end of the month at Miscon in Missoula, Montana!

Okay, so, another first: first Slay the Spire shopkeeper cosplay. So awesome!

Met my very first Regent cosplay! Necrobinder when?

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Denver FanExpo begins in a few minutes! Come say hi at booth AP1401!

I'll be exhibiting at Denver FanExpo this weekend, and I'm trying something different... a Tolkien-themed stamp rally! Come say hi if you're at the show. :-)

Just a few of my favorite artist proof paintings in acrylic! As I slog through a particularly difficult painting I can't yet share, I have to remind myself of the wins.

Successfully ran my first session as a dungeon master! Starting their adventures in Shadowdale with MY art was pretty cool (hey, just following instructions from the book, haha). I think the Littlest Art Director is hooked!

While I can't share most of what I'm working on, at least there's always proofs!

'The Road to Moria', aka Caradhras, is complete! I'm excited to have this ready for my next show, coming up in Denver.

With credit to the amazing Austin Kwok for the photos, a few memories from MagicCon Vegas! In such gatherings, you can sometimes spot my hat somewhere in the shadows at the back. Twas a great time with great friends, colleagues, and fans.

Perhaps overshadowed by other news, but it means so much to me to have been received by fans of Magic the Gathering like this. The past couple days have been exhausting in the best way. Among other things, a lady from NASA came by to tell me my spacescapes are enjoyed by folks there. Oh, my heart!

Magic Con Vegas begins shortly! Should be a busy and most excellent weekend, seeing lots of friends and fans. Anyone who wants to check out the original painting for Library of Alexandria should come by and check that out before the collector comes by to get it on Sunday!

Heading to a good (working) time in Vegas this weekend. Hope to see some of you there!

Making progress on this acrylic painting that will be debuting at Denver FanExpo!

Very happy to say I got into #DragonCon again! I'm not taking anything for granted this year. It's a huge honor to get into this warm and well-presented show. See some of you in Atlanta in early September!

Amen! Honestly, I can't even be bothered to shitpost. That other hat we all have to wear, 'social media marketer' really weighs on the ability to just make the best art I can. Probably why I'm not posting as regularly anymore.

Well, well, it's #portfolioday already? I just got back home from a trip, so I'm out of the loop. However, if you like fantastical landscapes, then I got some for you! I'm mostly working for MTG and D&D these days.

Our time in Japan is almost done, but what a great time it's been!

A much simpler set-up than usual! But the event has been a success. I don't think I've altered so many cards in my life! Turns out, Slay the Spire is a hit in Japan like everywhere else, so, many altered playmats as well.

My newly revealed art: "Library of Alexandria" an MTG card for the Secrets of Strixhaven set (Arena/online use only). It was a great honor and a fun challenge to illustrate such a classic card! Many thanks to AD Zack Stella for entrusting me with it.

Sometimes you just want to paint a mountain! Here's a recent digital comp that I'm prepping to paint. I adapted a plein air sketch I did of Mt. Baker many years back. Anyone want to hazard a guess what I'm adapting it *into*? 😁

Happy to announce I'll be showing up at MagicCon Vegas again in a little over a month! Be sure to stop by and say hi if you'll be there as well. :-)

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy (I mean it's literally called 'Godless Shrine')

Prepping acrylic painted artist proofs for my trip to Japan!

Making progress on this repaint (of a digitally finished MTG piece). I've mostly got some glazing left to do.

All our visas are sorted for the upcoming Japan trip! I'll be enjoying some family vacation, but first an official appearance at MTG Artist Meetup SUPER that will be held in the Science and Technology museum in downtown Tokyo right next to the Imperial Palace grounds: tokyomtg.com/feature.html...

Another artist proof headed to its home. I looked at reference of beetles from Laos for this one.

Sharing this painting again (acrylic 20x24) because, well, Slay the Spire 2 had the indecency to drop *during* ECCC so I didn't get to play it immediately. Guess what I've been up to this week, though? I'm very glad they brought back my favorite robot.

It's the big day at ECCC! If you're around, come see D&D and Numenera original paintings at booth 20015!

Emerald City Comic Con is a go! Come say hi at booth #20015 which I'm splitting with art friends, Katie Croonenberghs and Audre Schutte!

Come say hi to our small band of fully human imaginative realism artists at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend in Seattle! Booth 20015 on the same floor as the artist alley. Pic is from ECCC 2021.

Another artist proof headed towards distant shores!

is anyone RPG podcast/interviewer interested in doing a segment on omios ures? I want to – no, I MUST – talk about it. (rascal I am looking politely...)

Weow! If I guessed correctly, my artwork is a very tiny fraction of this particular collection (a fantasy art collection of some 15,000 works). This is incredible news! www.altoonamirror.com/news/local-n...

Signed a few Slay the Spire boardgame boxes here in my old Capitol Hill haunt! Can't believe it all started near here back in 2015. #slaythespire #seattle

"Fabled Passage". I'm often asked 'What is your favorite MTG piece you've made?'. I've given a variety of answers over the years; it's not easy to choose a favorite child. This one gave the most freedom to do my thing, and it's my phone background. It's got a good claim to the title.

New artwork for Numenera! "To Emerald City Above", acrylics 20x10''. Btw, this is definitely my weird take on Wizard of Oz. The city is obvious, but I rather enjoyed interpreting the adventuring party riding a giant dog-eared jellyfish with a sphinx, robot, and construct in the mix.

New artwork I painted for Numenera! "Under Earth, Over Flame", acrylics 20x10''. They've got a campaign called 'The Amber Archive' going currently that's already raised a cool half mil, so go check that out.

More artist proofs, these were nods to classic computer games I love!

More artist proof fun! As is often the case, repainting the art from the card front is the most popular choice.

I'm happy to say that my piece, 'Greyhawk' will be making an appearance in the Infected By Art annual publication later this year! Many, many thanks again to my art director on the piece, Kate Irwin, for entrusting me with such a classic D&D landmark!

Next up, I'll be exhibiting in Milwaukee in a few weeks! Back into the Midwestern winter I go, for the first time in years.😆 Come say hi if you're in the neighborhood: these events are always free to enter if you're just coming to see the artists.

I so happy that two of my pieces from the 'MTG in Miniature' show at Gallery Nucleus have sold! It's a show with 333 paintings & drawings by 111 MTG artists on the backs of artist proofs. It's well worth checking out if just for the sheer variety of art.

"The Oracle" piece for Numenera, 2018 or 2019. I had the pleasure to recently make some new art for Numenera, stay tuned....

Working on an acrylic "repaint" of a (other than sketches) digital piece from a few years back! It felt like the sort of physical meditation I needed after a busy weekend in Portland. "Bloodstained Mire"

The Littlest Art Director just had his convention debut: made his first three sales here at SCG Portland!

All set up here at SCG Portland! Come say hi if ypu're in the area this weekend: it's free to enter.
