Comics people! Who's your favorite colorist and why? I'm trying to study up so I'm not stuck in monochrome forever.

In the past year I've taken several months of longsword fighting, begun learning to blacksmith, and completed one of the hardest hikes in the state. Now I just have to build a moonshine still for "potions", get back into archery and evade arrest a few times and I'll be a well-rounded RPG character

It is #PortfolioDay once more. I'm a traditional illustrator specializing in pen and ink. I've contributed to a number of fiction publications and TTRPG projects, and I am currently looking for more work!

This book exposed my little six-year-old brain to the concept of cosmic horror for the first time. Moomin always has this strange balance of cozy and sinister and I love it for that

Done. How much chaos can I cram into a painting? All of it. First image created at @helioscopepdx.bsky.social "The Encounter", 12"x18" acrylic on panel. #elricofmelnibone #AdventureAtSea #redsonja #octopus #tallships #helioscopepdx

Art vs artist 2025 edition. A year of creatures of all types and trying to remember how color works. We survived another one, y'all.

🐴Jirel of Joiry rides again...if these dang skeletons will let her! @mollytanzer.bsky.social brings us a new official tale with no less than four illustrations by @lizardbrain-art.bsky.social💀 Check it out, and more, in issue 5 of New Edge Sword & Sorcery: newedgeswordandsorcery.com/product-cate...

Sketch vs Final

The new Deathstalker movie is so much fun, y'all. It's like Psycho Goreman for sword and sorcery fans. Go watch it ASAP

ADORATION OF THE METEOR This one is straight from the dome. Felt very good to do a finished piece that wasn't a commission and wasn't for some personal comic or worldbuilding project, but just pure weird stuff from my brain. It's been a long time.

Goran is a goddamn treasure and getting suspended for trying to help people is unconscionable. Bring him back!

More is coming! Still a few years off yet, but I have some things cooking up in the ol' bronze cauldron

Working (slowly but steadily) on a big personal piece. Trying to remember how to make art that isn't "for" something.

Everyone's talking about how Del Toro's Frankenstein is about daddy issues but the main daddy issue is that Lars Mikkelsen's character looks EXACTLY like my dad to the point where I did multiple double takes to confirm it was not my actual father on screen

The mist-shrouded morning at Point Reyes National Seashore, hiking with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social, felt not just haunted or ethereal, but otherworldly. The zenith of that sensation came when a huge bull elk appeared out of the landscape as if a ghost from another land entirely.

Man I love drawing dead guys

I can finally show off probably my favorite piece I've done this year--the Halloween merch design for @moviemadness.org. Beyond stoked to do more work for the best movie rental/theater/museum/temple in the world. And those practical effects are sooo satisfying to replicate in ink

"The apparitions are getting worse. The air in the vaults feels like a thin curtain that could be ripped away at any moment. I do not know what door I opened in search of the afterlife, but I pray to all the gods it isn't the one our souls go to in the end." A quick one for the spookiest of seasons

Made a little block print. It's hard to find inspiration for personal work in these fucked up times, but a new medium always helps me. Spend time with the people, places and experiences that make life worth living, and return ready to take the heads of those who would steal those things from us.

🖌️ ARTIST SPOTLIGHT🎨 Linnea Sterte, aka @decassette.bsky.social, made this beautiful interior illustration for WASTE FLOWERS by Bryn Hammond, and is returning to create a new full page illustration for WHAT ROUGH BEAST? Learn more here 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Poster I did for Movie Madness here in Portland for their Creature Features block. One of the largest ink pieces I've ever done!

Inktober 52 - Virgo A witch. Pens and white ink. I'm open for commissions! #art #inktober #inktober2025 #inktober52 #inktober52virgo #fantasy

Some pieces I did for an adaptation of Clark Ashton Smith's Tale of Satampra Zeiros a few years ago. Not sure if they were ever used but they were super fun to draw.

Thinking about GARGANTUAN: "the queen's an essentially good person being sabotaged by her aristocratic nature--thematically it's about accepting the loss of control and the unpredictability of the future--" Describing GARGANTUAN in front of a camera: "yep. I drawed it. It has a BIG monster."

I think I have to come to terms with the fact that, unlike seemingly every other artist and writer I respect, I'm too dumb to read Gene Wolfe.

Money is tight this month, so I suppose now is a good time to mention that I have a store with some neat stuff in it. Skeleton T-shirts! Lizardman prints! A full-length sword-and-sorcery kaiju graphic novel! Anything you feel like picking up is much appreciated. lizardbrainart.bigcartel.com

My twitter is dead. I don’t wanna a burner. All I want is 27K bluski subs

Turned 32. Spent some time with @esque-arts.bsky.social and the local mountain.

"IT'S SATAN! EL DIABLO!" from a youtube video from 2012 I could never find again. It wormed its way into my brain and has never left

Our long-suffering protagonist wakes up to some new friends

More painting practice. I have been reading the Earthsea books and they are just what I need right now. Here's Ged and his boat.

Cover for the debut album from the band SALTYR. I love when the brief is basically "make it as trad heavy metal as possible"

I would pay heinous amounts of money I don't possess to have the Isle of the Dead one in my home

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Vainamoinen in the pines for @elyvilon.bsky.social . I really enjoyed this one. Tried to infuse it with some of that Scandinavian Golden Age of Illustration energy.

Painted a weird little guy. I still flounder every time I break out the paint, but this felt like I learned some things.

"He can't keep getting away with this!" He can, because you refuse to decapitate him

don’t let them in. fuck ice. fuck fascists

Behold! Cover art for our upcoming issue of Old Moon Quarterly! Hand-drawn and inked by Robin Harris of Mystic Barbarism (and Wormwitch)!

Got the Wall of Skeletons back up and thus the new studio space is complete

The great Stephen Fabian is one of those artists from the 2E era of AD&D that just doesn’t get enough credit or attention. His interior illustrations in the Ravenloft line and Tome of Magic especially stand out. Pitch perfect aesthetic… and what an amazing talent. Pure 💯.

"Show me how you draw armor" I should draw some more armor again, it's a lot of fun

In the process of setting up a new studio space so I can get back to drawing and, of course, Posting

Show me how you draw armor. Chain and scale gang here
