art vs artist 2025

A paranoid, conspiracy-laden megadungeon adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics. Full Title: Terror of the Stratosfiend: Cycle of the Snake-Wolf 3: Return to the Shattered Woods 2: The Scales of Hyper-Visor God, or the Final Voyage of the Crab King. spacepenguin.ink/products/cyc...

Order Songbirds. It's fucking great.

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default. And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

I said this about making art before and I stand by it.

december spot art request: bored vampire on a luxurious sofa

everyone's goal for 2026 should be getting into using RSS feeds & readers for updates on everyone's projects rather than relying on social media alone. I don't think "big, badly moderated forums where everyone hangs out and gets cranky" are working great for that.

Podcast Taught Me What? | #3 Narrative Abhors a Vacuum Bastionland Podcast – Season 6, Episode 2 - Amanda Lee Franck This episode threw up lots of game design nuggets but for me this was the biggie goblinshenchman.wordpress.com/2025/12/16/p... @bastionland.bsky.social @amandalee.bsky.social #OSR

Four RPG books I'm printing new/collected editions of in 2026.

Excited to run @zedecksiew.bsky.social's A Perfect Wife this coming week, and put together a little playlist for the session(s): youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I think some of these tapes are haunted

these are all good (except #4 and #5 you can break these rules if you got a good reason to which is usually gonna be that it's funny)

ugh. hi

"that's a cool old jug with a ship on it this antique dealer just listed, i wonder what cheerful twee nautical verse is printed on the other side"

I keep on looking at last night's paint water & thinking delicious grape soda and then being disappointed

feel incredibly lucky that my introduction to TTRPGs, outside of a few one-shots, was this incredible beast of a campaign. @brendanmcleod.com did an excellent wrangling it all into a book, helping edit a portion of it was a boast unto itself.

this is the coolest thing ever. if you don't download it and read it you're dead to me

This is very exciting. Patrick's Snail Knight stories are some of my favourite writing he's done. Patrick's shared the first three stories again, all worth reading. For reals

🚨BEST COLLAB OF 2026 ALERT🚨

here you can read about a big illustration project for @falsemachine.bsky.social that I hope to start working on next year! ps the snail knights stories are so, so good, wildly veering around serious and funny and heartbreaking #ttrpg #osr #booksky pjamesstuart.substack.com/p/the-future...

1 Art books thread I thought I'd write about some good how-to books for aspiring comics artists who want to acquire some academic, foundational drawing skills without spending tens of thousands of dollars.

🌺A PERFECT WIFE, WEIRDING PEOPLE OUT🌺

I've been really slacking on this play report. The previous one was posted on Halloween and the campaign ended on that day as well. Here's my play report of @zedecksiew.bsky.social's A Perfect Wife Session 3 & 4. afraidofencounters.bearblog.dev/afraid-of-pl...

thank you to the local christmas tree lot which once again has let me have as many cast off Christmas tree branches as I could haul away for free

Thrifted this crazy dramatic frame for one of @amandalee.bsky.social's print from last year 😂 what do you think of it, Amanda?

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all. thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately. Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

I reviewed 'Local Heroes' by @amandalee.bsky.social pjamesstuart.substack.com/p/a-review-o...
