A well-balanced society should contain a roughly equal amount of 808- and 909-based music. When there is an excess of music made with 909s, tensions and unpredictability will rise, while in periods of excessive 808 prevalence, that society will experience widespread complacency.

I have nothing but good things to say about bookshop.org and it pees me off how creators think they need to self-publish through crappy Amazon or nothing, so this sounds really good! Get stuck in, everybody.

Superhero pit fight from ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’ RPG book from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. Because rich people want to ruin everything, even fictional superheroes.

Happy Holidays! Congrats on surviving another year and not going mad. But... Smashing up a historic symbol of long-cherished democracy with a dancing digger? Could this be the end of Highly Questionable Santa..?

Scota, the Egyptian princess who sailed to Ireland in a coracle to hang out with Fionn Mac Cumhaill in some of the Celtic myths. Painted for the wonderful @fionnfolklore.bsky.social’s Fenian art challenge, where artists chose a story from their vast archive of recorded mythology and folktales.

Amazing oversize book bursting with art, info & great design, all about being a Pict in 690CE. Is an academic text, an illustrated all-ages book & a TTRPG sourcebook all at once. (Hepped to me via @kierongillen.bsky.social's lap.) carvedinstone.scot

Alternate lives meeting, one superhero meets two other versions of herself in the ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’ RPG book from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. We have (L-R); magical girl version, normal superhero version and horror werewolf version, all looking fairly surprised to meet the other.

Now there’s a hole in the sky / and our superhero is trying to close it with her super-powers! From ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’, from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. (While I love comics, I’ve never been a superhero fan, so that’s why I always get a bit giddy whenever I talk about these.)

The healing power of superheroes with healing powers. A hero from the upstanding ‘Team Tomorrow’ looks after the injured in this piece from the ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’ RPG book from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. Paramedics everywhere: thank you for everything you do.

A page from Hellblazer #24, drawn by Ron Tiner.

Was told today that my old college tutor & general illustration mentor Ron Tiner had died. Really sad. Rest in peace, Ron. Thank you for everything & passing on the fire.

Statue dedicated to a (super)hero, ‘Cestus Pax’ who’s kind of like the Superman of the ‘Aberrant’ RPG world from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. The ‘Aberrant: With Great Power…’ (which is a riff on what Uncle Ben from Spider-Man said) book is out now.

Hooey war robot makin’ factory from ‘Aberrant: With Great Power…’ tabletop RPG book, out from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. Yes, I poured all my adolescent robot love of @2000ad.bsky.social’s ABC Warriors, Terminator films and anime mecha into this and then just sorta freewheeled it.

Crime-busting, super-powered luchador masked Mexican wrestlers from the ‘Abberant: With Great Power….’ tabletop RPG from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. ‘The Justicieros’ here hunt down the cartels, only in this particular kind of mask and tights… The book’s available in print and digital now.

i think about this tweet every single day

This is #3 in a series of threads about Gloranthan art hanging on my walls. This one is so good, I bought it twice, first as a commission for my book, The Voralans, and here as the original hand-drawn ink art from @leeoconnor.bsky.social. In the book, this picture is in full colour, added digitally.

Scientist getting zapped by weird science reactor from @theonyxpath.bsky.social’s ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’ superhero tabletop role-playing game. Looks like this’ll be what gives him weird powers then, chief. Zap! The Kirby Crackle isn’t that strong in this, but it’s there..!

Superhero in space, with force field and matter manipulation powers. Space station busted? She’ll sort you out. From the ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’ RPG book from Onyx Path, out now.

Some quick sketches from Chaosium Con UK recently. Rivers of London, RuneQuest, & Traveller characters, Cthulhu Mythos tings, pets & stuff!

It’s all true! I was there, man! And this was loads of fun and it was great to meet you, Olga!

You guys have really gone for these (thank you!) so here’s some still photos of those playing cards. So they’re all gone for now, but there’ll be a Print on Demand version soon. Gotta reformat all the art & draw SOME 20+ EXTRA CARDS first..!

What the playing cards looked like when they turned up from the printer… Then I took them to Chaosium Con UK over the weekend, where they all sold out fairly quickly… Thanks everybody!

Live and Dangerous! Thanks Graham!

UK bods: I‘ll be at the 'Chaosium Con UK' gaming convention near Bedford, Friday-Saturday-Sunday, selling my wares; original art, live sketches, commissions, playing cards & postcards. Come say hey. (All hosted by the good folk of @chaosium.bsky.social) chaosium.com/chaosium-con-u…

All of the playing card art scanned in, lined up and flat-coloured. Bit of a squint-fest, but they’ll start singing a bit more once they’ve got more colour on them, stand by!

All the linework for the playing cards. You can see that the format and size changed a few times, almost like… I was making it up as I went along..! The scanning of these was slightly more professional than the filming, you’ll be glad to know.

Map I drew on a gaming table in Japan! (Lower right.) I'm so very happy to see this. Thank you very much indeed, Japanese players! (Thanks to @brianduguid.bsky.social for finding this!) Original post: x.com/kurotodo2136...

Been drawing a deck of playing cards, unique artwork for every single card, that you can look at upside down or the ‘correct’ way up… They’re off at the printers now and I’ll give you some more high-speed updates over the next few days.

A firey fellow for Onyx Path’s Trinity Continuum: Aberrant superhero RPG book ‘With Great Power’. Need a fireman-themed superhero to come and put this guy out. (And I’m waiting for the comic fans and Aberrant fans to clap back right about now.) The book’s out now in print & PDF!

First proper go at sculpting something with software. It’s supposed to be a female halfling’s head. Heads are easy because they start out as a blob..! So with learning anything new, it turns out you have to make all the stupid mistakes first and then redo it again like you mean it.

King. - Fantasy Fizzogs No. 39 - Grumpy bloke, master of icy stare to match frosty sideburns. From Jonathan Quaife’s ‘Greydog’ clan book for the RuneQuest TTRPG on the Jonstown Compendium.
