My wife has beautiful hand painted objects for sale at her Etsy store. Each one is exquisite and unique and *could be adorning your home or that of a loved one right now*. What on earth are you waiting for?

Go kick it with Dyson!

The Sword & Sorcery fiction mag Swords Against is now in crowd funding and Jason Sholtis and I will have a comic in it about feuding wizards. sorcerersskull.blogspot.com/2026/02/swor...

I predicted this. @jvwest.bsky.social can vouch.

Relive the magic . . . for twenty-five cents.

I drew these tributes to Vaughn Bodé characters in my sketchbook sometime last year. Cheech Wizard being Cheech, a lizard being a lizard, and a Bodé Broad being a Bodé Broad. Niche underground comix artist snatched from life too soon, but leaving copious amounts of comics.

Baby's very first ink washes...

Another awesome artist I love is Daniel Strickland. Go check out his stuff if you haven't. This representative image is but the tip of the iceberg. www.instagram.com/strickstagram/

My beautiful wife made me a valentine - she took up art a week or two ago and I am over the moon 😍 💖

I didnt want to post about it until it came to pass (counting chicks before they hatch) but today I got up very early to take a mandatory shuttle & stand outside for 30 mins to be first in the door at an estate sale of 1000s of books b/c I saw a single book in a photo while unable to sleep at 0400.

Hello weekend friends! Please cast your eyes upon my blog and check out the letter K in my alphabetical series! My PC is nearly returned to me so I'll be more able to write and draw and upload without driving myself nuts doing it from my phone. Sorry for the lull!

Imagine having to climb a living hieronymus Bosch-like ziggurat! Drawing WIP for campaign by @duckandcrow.bsky.social Can we hit 100 backers by end of weekend? www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

This post is a banger - it inspired me to write up a neat bit of dungeon design tech from the ol' mental toolbox. Read Sean's blog and then check out my take here x

Blackout in Crater Valley really blew my mind and definitely was an inspiration to WHPA. Now, the elusive ZOG brings us back with Return to Crater Valley! www.kickstarter.com/projects/zog...

Just created Community Copies for my adventure modules! Cairn, bastards., Shadowdark, Isle of Ixx perplexingruins.itch.io If you pick one up, I hope you enjoy it! But also, if you do (or don't), I'd be grateful for ratings and reviews. Gracias! Good adventuring to your table, friends :)

Inked my @trenchcrusade.bsky.social fanart. #art #fanart #trenchcrusade

Are there any sources y'all would recommend that do a deep dive into the social effects of online sports betting or Kalshi style prediction markets? I feel like I understand why these things are bad in a general sense, but not the actual effect they're having on people/society.

A week ago my 8 got very lucky on FB and got a super deal: $50 for an absolutely ridiculous amount of art supplies. Probably 30 good brushes, 5 big sketchbooks, 60 sharpies (1-2 of every color), dozens & dozens of other markers, a couple full Prismacolor pencil sets, some drawing pencils...

Are you alive? make a zine about that... Not alive? also a good topic for a zine youtu.be/bYhy2ufJllc?...

Good morning, Blue Sky! If you missed it yesterday, here's this week's entry in my ongoing alphabetical series. Go check out some knives and daggers and shivs and assorted jagged metal objects!

New painted wastelands kickstarter: the Empire of Bones. I have to share it, since I love the art :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

I'm not going to say that you MUST boycott everything from Hasbro or Wizards while they're partnered with Harry Potter and weird AI bullshit is creeping through the company, I'm just saying that doing so is cool and sexy.

The project continues with great results, even if I am not the best at documenting a before and after! When I got home I began flushing the eyedroppers repeatedly to get all the bits of crusted ink out of the bulbs. It was crazy how much kept coming out! Sadly I didn't record any of that process.

Afternoon crew: go see the latest over in my blog, and get yourself a dagger or shank of some sort for your game! 🔪

i never really cared for lucky luke before but ever since Matthieu Bonhomme took over as the artist, i got REALLY into it, it's such a gorgeous comic

This week's new Blogging A-Z post is now live! 🔡 K is For Knife - with four illustrated daggers for your B/X or AD&D game! Three are enchanted weapons of legend, one is simply treasure. I had fun making these, so I hope you enjoy them. 😊 Click through to go now!

My inkpot reclamation project progresses better than expected! After pouring out their contents, I wiped off their tubes & caps/threads. I filled them with 91% isopropyl; the remaining pigments began dissolving immediately. A few hours later, I gently cleared the eyedropper tubes with a paperclip.

are any of my mutuals graphic designers, or know any graphic designers, who would be willing to do a redesign of an organization logo? budget is around $4,000 but negotiable.

4 recent dropped drawings. Striving to make more dynamic pieces, with more impact, instead of spot art. I'm learning, and am choose too dark of screen textures, but I think they're still usable and interesting. If you like the work I make, you can support here: www.patreon.com/perplexingru...

Intertidal Market

Finished this one - going to give it some digital treatment & slight coloring, then off to patrons today! Pretty cool drawing to have access to for your mech, laser sword game

Announcing my cover artist search for my fantasy/humor novel Possessed! Budget is €1,500 ($1,770). No spec work! This is not a contest. I'm just trying to find the right artist. TONS of info on the book, the cover, applying, and more at: cwbwriting.com/posts/2026-0... NO AI PLEASE! NO DMs PLEASE!

Comic read today! @matiasbergara.bsky.social & @sispurrier.bsky.social combo is rad Wordless comic 👀

Feels like a good day to remind everyone that there's tons of human-made public domain art available for free. Perfect for TTRPGs and board games! Where can you find it? Right here! Part 1: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/public-dom... Part 2: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/more-publi... #ttrpg

Thought I lucked into a nice pair of Pelikan illustrating inks today amidst some other stuff but theyve separated into "pigment" & "fluid". Too bad. The lids are eyedroppers, which is very clever & useful. I wonder if they could be rescued & repurposed... They're from ca 1980 and were $1.20 then.

Today I bought a perfectly-preserved 32" Toshiba CRT (for retro gaming and movie-watching) for $7.50. This is highway robbery.

My auto complete just suggested I use the phrase Dracula, TX. I wish Dracula Texas was a real town I could visit so bad it's unreal.

Earlier this week I stumbled on what, for me, was sort of a "deal of the year" situation: a dude listed five BÖC LPs on Marketplace for a legitimately silly price. The records inside are all first Pitman pressings, all have intact liners, and most are in like-new, unhandled, unplayed condition.

Checkout SWORDS AGAINST! a new fiction magazine for Sword, Sorcery and Skullduggery (mostly that's mine)... come follow us on Backerkit! (I got a glamor shot and everything!) www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

i highly highly recommend looking at this project! Matt made some beautiful, wonderful modules for bastards.!!

If you love classic gaming with streamlined rules and wonderful layout and affordability and easily portable, I can’t recommend jumping into bastards. @manarampmatt.bsky.social @sivads-sanctum.bsky.social Jason Wardell mocha have made it one of my fav game collections Think I am missing a few…🤨

Lots of room left on several tables! Join some of the best Judges (I snuck in there too, don't tell anyone) and learn the best #TTRPG out there!

Some cool folks over on Instagram have a Kickstarter going that fans of indie comics, Ugly Americans, Hellboy, the supernatural, and/or romance should definitely check out! Dont worry about having missed #1 - you can snag a physical reprint or a PDF with your pledge. Go look! It's really cool!

I lost track of which day it is because this week is a whirlwind of abnormal events personally. Whoops. Anyway, yesterday was Wednesday, so a Blogging A-Z was published: dungeonsandpossums.com/2026/02/a-z-... Ive got a few pieces of interesting illustrated treasure here for your game, go see! 👑💍

Dropping on Monday on DrivethruRPG: PAMPHLETS @skullfungus.bsky.social

Dug up an old project for this post. Collegeiate experiments in alternate history, which while something of a mess produced a decent number of ideas that got carried forward, including Lighthouse throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2026/02/frag...
