As always, we have a limited edition vinyl playmat decal for Magic Con Vegas. Behold: Cinderbeard the Half-Toothed, the Chattiest Pirate.

Also our limited edition vinyl for Dragonsteel Nexus: MerVin! Come get yours at booth A14!

Brand new, and just in time for Dragonsteel Nexus: Portfolio books for Way of Kings and Words of Radiance. The 6 images I did for each of the leatherbound editions plus 1 of the Order of Knights Radiant. 11x14 inches, with a foiled portfolio to keep them in.

Super excited to head out to Belgium for the Magic Antwerp Regional Championship! I've got this cute lil' lion coming with me. And if you like, you can commemorate the event by getting your own put on a playmat. I hear Belgium has pretty good chocolate. I'm looking forward to testing this claim.

Cosmere Inktober Day 6: Climb Our Damsel, markedly devoid of distress, is relentless in her quest to rescue Mervin, and vanquish the voracious villain. Is this the end of the monsters' appetite for tyranny? (I'm only 18 days behind! At this pace, I may just finish before next years' Inktober!)

My Magic: the Gathering art A-Z-ish: R R is reckless! No recks whatsoever. Any reck we find is swiftly removed and given a very stern reprimand.

My Magic: the Gathering art A-Z-ish: O and P OP Is for Optimus Prime! Fun fact: I was in Japan for a Magic event, then a few weeks of touring when I got the Optimus Prime assignment. So for most of it, I just had my phone to do art with.

Cosmere Inktober, Day 5: Promise Knittens and his freed and very cross new friend vow to rescue Mervin. Is this the end of the damsel-in-distress trope? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere

Cosmere Inktober, Day 4: Piercing Oh no! Mervin looks too much like a marshmallow in a hat! Is this the end of our lovable wizard? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere

Cosmere Inktober, Day 3: Shielded Our intrepid heroes Mervin and Knittens stand against the injustice of people as monster snacks. Is this the end of the beasts' buffet of terror? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere

Cosmere Inktober, Day 02: Imprisoned Oh no! A quintessential damsel in distress! Is this the end of the maiden fair? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere

Mervin studies devoutly in hopes of becoming a legendary wizard someday. Like Merlin, Gandalf, and Terry Pratchett. #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere

Getting Dragon Con off to a right and propper start.

More Dragons because Dragon Con this week! I'll be in my usual spot, doing my usual things, because I've become boringly predictable. Maybe I should buy one of those flying surfboard things to rebel against aging gracefully. Then I'd have a much more interesting story when I fall and break my hip.

Dragon con next week! And we have a lil' dragon kitty to commemorate your awesome experience. Come make a memory at booth 1113.

A very very spicy noodle! How much extra hazard pay and PPE is involved if you're a dragon dentist? Also the insurance must be obscene. "Dominia" for Flesh and Blood.

Dragons are people, too.

"You no can has my pretty house!" I learned a lot in the early days. 90% of what I've learned in 20 years happened in the first two. It can happen fast when you have a ticking clock as your savings burn, reminding you that if you fail, it's back to the fry Mines of McDonalds.

What a difference a couple of decades makes. Dragon Con is in a couple weeks, so I've got scales on the brain. Sometimes it's good to look back and see how you've progressed. I feel better about myself now. Getting old isn't all wrinkles and creaky joints!

The semi-euphoric exhaustion has finally dissipated, and I'm caught up from Gen Con. Just in time to prep for Dragon Con. In the words of Whitesnake "Here I go Again." (Which will be in the soundtrack to my upcoming broadway hit "Nascar: the Musical. I'm totally winning a Tony award.)

See you at Gen Con! Booth 1149, next to (but not in) the Art Show.

Gen Con next week! Come see us! Or else you won't! And that would make us sad! We've got prints, playmats, brand new fuzzy kitten playmats, a new cute lil' Dholder, and of course random rambling about nonsense by yours truly. Booth 1149

The mummy wouldn't sign the video release, but the rest of the Dark Stalkers crew were astonishingly easy to work with. Only one monster mishap, and nobody had really liked Dale anyhow.

I got to fill in for Dan Wells on Brandon Sanderson's show, and bend his ear with my origin story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLA9...

The Magic Con Vegas limited edition playmat vinyl is here just in time! Welcome Dr. Gibbles MacSnackerston, professor of Advanced Slight of Hand Engineering, Ethical Dance for Cyborgs, and Strategic Dental Hygiene.

Come draw with me at Magic Con Vegas! We'll be doing a draw-along on Sunday from 12:00 to 12:30. Let me know if there's anything you'd like draw! (We only have a half an hour, so "the inevitable global war between humanity and the machines" may be more than we can get done.

For folks braving the heat, fogbanks of cheap margarita vapor, and glitzy-veneer-hiding-dark-truths to attend Magic Con Vegas: I've put together a current price sheet for Artist Proofs. And you can now order in advance for pick up at events on my website, www.steveargyle.com

In the time before time, an era of wonder and dreams, I wandered the world like a curiously tall, but every bit as snacky hobbit. Leaving signed Magic cards and sketches in my wake. Now, substantially more akin to Gandalf the Grey, I make the trek once more to the anti-shire that is Las Vegas.

So close.

Hi, I'm Steve. I am a master procrastinator and excuse lyricist. When I'm not doing that, sometimes I'll paint stuff. Here's a bit of a thread of that.
