I’ve arrived in Antwerp for the Magic Regional Championship. The journey was car, plane, bus, train, taxi. I feel like I’ve collected a full travel set!

Freeport is now available as a poster print. ralphhorsley.etsy.com/listing/4407...

This is the last of my Hurkyl’s Tecalls artist proofs - so thought it deserved a full acrylic repaint.

Looking forward to visiting Antwerp this week.

Stepped outside my hotel into sunshine and a great view across the Mersey. Nice start to the last day of MtG Spotlight Liverpool.

Table sketches on the backs of artists proofs.

Saturday morning, and Spotlight Liverpool is in full flow.

All set up. The show has started, and cards have already been signed. Mtg Spotlight Series - Liverpool

Breakfast view before heading to the Magic Spotlight Series. www.fanfinity.gg/event/spotli...

Staying in Liverpool docks for the MtG Spotlight series event. It does look good at night.

IX Arts was fantastic. Great to be at a show solely dedicated to art. Now just repacking to head off to Liverpool to be with more great artists.

More Illuxcon art Here from @ralphhorsley.bsky.social

Yeah @ralphhorsley.bsky.social is a master

Sketch requests drawn at IXarts.

IX arts has started! Very happy to be back in Reading, PA.

Artist Proof sketches. They’ll be coming to IX with me.

I was lucky enough to work on the DnD/Stranger Things collaboration - Welcome to the Hellfire Club. These are a few all featuring Drew. I have always had a love of inking, so it was great to flex those artistic muscles on these. ©2025 Wizards | STRANGER THINGS ™/© Netflix. Used with permission.

Excited to be heading back here!

Received this in the post today. Feel it’s the least I can do to give back to an organisation that has served me very well.

My friend Jon creates amazing, and unique artwork, which is all set within his Astromythos universe. He has published one book (which I have and it's awesome), he is now all set to publish his second. You can check it our here: gamefound.com/en/projects/... It is a campaign well worth supporting.

I am very happy to share my completed acrylic cityscape painting - Freeport. I loved including all the narratives and details. This will be exhibited at IX arts in Reading, PA, next month. #freeport #wimmelbild #cityscape #fantasycity

The last visit on our Anglesey trip was Beaumaris castle, a world heritage site. Started in 1295 it was never completed.

Yesterday we walked to Llanddwyn island, where we accidentally ended up swimming with seals! Along the way we saw lots of birds, including a buzzard, a lizard and a red squirrel.

360 view from the top of Holyhead Hill. The site of an Iron Age hill fort. The white wall at the start of the video are the remains of the rampart. The wall behind the bench is what’s left of a Roman watchtower.

Mags and I are taking a break on Anglesey. Arrived to stormy weather and dramatic seas. Today was calmer and we made a tour of Neolithic sites. All the burial chambers would originally have been covered with stone and earth mounds.

On Tuesday Leo and I went to Honister Slate Mine for his birthday treat. Canyoning in the morning, followed by the Infinity Bridge and Via Ferrata in the afternoon. Whilst on the bridge a pair of RAF jets screamed up the valley below us. It was really fun day out in the Lakes.

Muncaster Castle is a lovely quirky building full of oddities. Oldest tower dates to C14th.

Starting the day at Krankenhaus festival with a ride on L’il Ratty followed by a walk back across the fells. #krankenhausfestival #ravenglass

Sadly a dear friend of mine, who I've known since school, recently passed. Today was her cremation. We shared a love of Romero's 'Dead' trilogy, and for her 50th I painted her as a zombie. RIP Tina.

I’ve done it! I’ve finished my big fantasy city painting. A true #Wimmelbild !

Further progress on ‘Freeport’. The back alley and bridges are done. #freeport #acrylicpainting #fantasyart #fantasycity #fantasyartist

Anyone else sort their brushes and realise they might be a hoarder…

Happy to see ‘Clown Car’ is getting some love, certainly generates interesting sketch requests!

One guy’s been lucky enough to find a ‘Magic’ Sword. More progress on Freeport.

All set up and ready for the doors to Open. London Film & Comic Con. #LFCC

Completed the buskers, along with their mocking Dwarf audience. #freeport

Always good to see my pieces out in the wild - ‘Field of the Dead’ framed up has been shared online.

‘Sword of the meek’ powering up the ‘Thopter Foundry’!

This coming weekend I'll be at London Film & Comic Con at Olympia. If someone in London would like to support me as a helper please drop me a line. Minimal assistance required, just covering during breaks and help with packing down on the Sunday.

Whilst at the workshop I got a little bit of time to work on ‘Freeport’, also got lots of feedback that has motivated me to crack on with it. #freeport #fantasyart #fantasycity #acrylicpainting

One of the fun events at IIFAW was a portrait painting session, but with your subject interpreted as an animal!

I am now back in the UK, and about recovered from the jet lag, after an amazing week spent in Milwaukee attending the Illustration Intensive. There is still a lot to process, but it was inspirational and validating.

Passed through US immigration in Dublin, now just need to fly there! Looking forward to a week of art at the Intensive Fantasy Workshop.

It’s been a great first day at UKGamesExpo. Very busy. Thanks to everyone that stopped by. Here’s a fun juxtaposition- my artwork on the billboard viewed through the Viking encampment with the NEC in the background.

Doors have just opened at UKGamesExpo. You can find me in hall 2, stand 260.

Some years ago I published my father's autobiography as a slim paperback, with a cover painted by @ralphhorsley.bsky.social , in a print run of a few hundred for him to give to friends and family. Two copies are now on abebooks, priced at £40 and £60 respectively, and I have no idea why.
