happy #goblinweek, this one is disguised as a wizard:

you was in the club without clarity of purpose

whole squad daydreaming

putting jeans and a belt on and taking a nap

Ancient amphibians are beckoning me to follow them into deeper waters

ME: (forgetting about my friend who has teeth of deepest forest moss) uggh people with inch thick mats of rich and brimming woodland moss instead of teeth are low-key disgusting MY FRIEND: There is a good person inside of you, Michael, but I am waiting to meet him.

don’t bother trying to make goos or goops. you are decades behind my research

Is it wise to negotiate with the great bear? ✨⚔️🐻 We are inching closer every day to the launch of the Swords Without Master kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unwrittenearths/swords-without-master), and I wanted to share my first folio card!

This 1920’s painting by Michalina Janoszanka is the vibe.

computer, make me cry

Life advice? From Conan the Barbarian? It's more practical than you'd think! In stock now at the Danforth Arts Market and @thebeguiling.bsky.social in Toronto!

Another paper test as an excuse to paint this wizard doing a little treasure hunting in a dark forest.

Further paper tests allow further wizardry - this time in a more contemplative mode, though.

I have some new papers to test out and how better to test them than to paint a wizard on a journey? Here's their first stop, a quiet forest.

Going into a coffee shop I’ve never been to and asking for “the usual”

One of the most surprising elements of oil pastels for me was how much the substrate affected the painting. This study was my first done on wood panel, and compared to absorbent paper, using them on wood prevents the oils from being absorbed, and the pastels work so much more like paints!

Searching endlessly through archives of ancient scrolls and muttering long forgotten truths could fix me

random #monster illustration I found kicking around

PLEASE cite the deep magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written, but I wasn't really paying attention

Every now and then I get really disoriented on my night walk and end up frantically darting across the highway. Sometimes I just sit down until a team comes to herd me off the road

all the birds were too delightful to miss!

Hey folks! I'm starting the hunt for September work now - happy to join you as an illustrator, do some vis dev for your next big project, or step into a bigger art direction role! Shares very appreciated. Check out my portfolio here to see if I'm a good fit: www.portablecity.net/shel-kahns-p...

After meaning to do it for MONTHS I have finally gotten By Crom! pdfs up on my itch shop! PWYW for life advice described as "weirdly inspirational": sorcererscatalogue.itch.io/by-crom-pdf

Calling in to work over encumbered

I'm continuing to share my new comic, A Brief Guide to (Early Onset) Wizard Puberty over on my Stories website! Chapter 6 is now up:

If you ever find me in the bowels of a heavily guarded laboratory, peacefully suspended in a large tube of bubbling liquid, please mind your own business.

I don’t want to hear AIRPLANE when I’m in the WOODS

I won't bite

Sorry guys I got stuck atop the perfect rock for regulating my body temperature and assessing my surroundings

Another landscape! #art #illustration

I spent way too much of my day on this Slovenly Lasagna Cat. My seven year old self would be so proud.

Saw your man struggling to free himself from an intricately woven web before being entombed in it’s silky thread and saved for a late night snack

(over at a friends house) I swear to god if you show me the interconnecting threads that tie together all things again I’m gonna flip out

who's your fav dude?

Friends, it's been a wild day, and I need more time to put my thoughts on paper properly, but till then, hey, look! this game I art directed for the past 2.5 years is now out! Huge love to the whole team!

moon watch 🌙

I bet reanimated skeleton warriors don't have to wake up tomorrow and spend all day on the computer

you know where I really wanna be a fly on the wall...? fly paradise
