I’m excited to see posts about Between 2 Cons kicking off, looks super fun, good energy. I can’t go because I was studying the blade! ⚔️ Maybe next time!

I ❤️ my drawing desk in the corner of my living room, in a hundred year old 2 bd apt.

Doom jazz 👌

You can also make a zine without using any software at all!

To the void of this social media platform I yell out “I’m at @torontocomics.bsky.social this weekend. Visit me at table 038B” …

only been open a week but the response to this show so far has been awesome. looking forward to the listening sessions

No new comic today because I'm scrambling on some other projects but if you haven't back yet this is your last chance!

The Baron’s Grip is in an art show!! [WORK] at @visarts.org

Me (above) and @stachesquatch.bsky.social (below), Our pieces at JOHN AND MAGGIE’ RECORDS AND TAPES, at HI•RES Gallery Thanks for the pic and for organizing such an awesome show @sillygenius.blacksky.app and @chrisvisions.bsky.social !!

The Baron’s Grip is in an art show! (@ the Visual Arts Center in Richmond). If you’re in town, go take a flip thru! The whole staff show is excellent as well. I had to make rapid-fire attempts to explain what a ttrpg adventure module is, to several people 🥲.

We're working on a follow-up to this slick-ass OSE funnel and there are less than 48 hours to back it! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

I got to participate in this chat with artists working on projects for #OSE #DemonsMonth. It was super fun, all of these other artists are legendary to me 🤯. @davidhoskins.bsky.social @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social youtu.be/6TGs8x3SlNI?...

There is definitely a specific word for this, right?? It’s almost like the opposite of diagetic? @mapcrow.bsky.social I’m sure you have a word?

*Almost* done with this dragon illo for Out of the Iron Labyrinth. The rest of the book will be white backgrounds, clean layout, spot art and maps… and then BOOOM!! Full bleed, dark colors. One more week to back it! I’m cranking out interior art. tinyurl.com/bdzz8py5 #osemonth #demonmonth

They just kept talking about stuff I love in this one, like Kay Nielsen, and the Goblin Market scene in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.

Bubbles Con is this weekend!! GET TO THE LIBRARY!!! #bubblescon

Opening tomorrow at HI.RES gallery, a show celebrating music, with original pieces painted on vinyl album covers. 306 E. Grace St., RVA. The show will be up for 3 months, gathering more pieces as it goes, and the gallery will be open for various events. I’m excited about this one!!

WOIMSDAY THEY PAY ME IN WOIMS

WAIT, I CAN HELP! hodagrpg.itch.io/motherflip

The Calcabrina is a new demon in the forthcoming OSE Demonic Grimoire. This is a wild, fresh, inventive monster. I asked @bradkerr.net about the writing and naming of said critter (see screenshot).

“Your life has become resource management…” 🤣

There’s an AMA with #OSE demon month creators going on in the Necrotic Gnome discord for the next couple of hours. Pop in and ask us about our project! I’ll be around for the next couple hours. Out of the Iron Labyrinth is a HELL ESCAPE adventure designed for duet or solo play by @mallenhall.com !

Thinking about the time I told my dad to listen to Black Midi, with the caveat ‘you’re not gonna like it.’ He came back a couple weeks later with ‘that’s not music,’ but I was surprised he actually looked it up!

"In a world dominated by digital platforms and their content algorithms, a self-printed, independently distributed zine offers a material experience that you know is a genuine encounter with a creator rather than a curated experience based on surveillance." 🔥

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a... A zero level funnel for OSE is a pretty cool idea! This adventure dovetails with HELLCRAWL because we both incorporate Infernus, the Lord of Hellfire from Demonic Grimoire. #osr #ttrpg you can grab their previous zines too!

Live! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

OUT of the IRON LABYRINTH Launching in 2 days as part of OSE Month! tinyurl.com/44xpxaap Writing and Designed by @mallenhall.com I have enlisted my friend @stachesquatch.bsky.social to make this amazing cover art for us, and I am working away on the interior art! #OSE #demons #OSEMONTH

Cool stuff

Anyone know any online collections of zines that are free to peruse? Like a particular university library’s digitized collection?

if you have artist friends that live in Richmond or close by, send this their way. we want this to reach as far as possible. if you don’t live close, but still wanna participate … get a sleeve, do your thing & mail it to us. shoot me a DM, let’s make it happen

Reposting this free zine I made last year because I’m proud of it! I think it’s useful and fun. And I repeat, freeeee!

“The Baron’s Grip” is on its way to backers!!

Scenes from the art show opening last night at HIRES Gallery!

“Gauntlets, Guilds and a Goblet of Mead” Sick fantasy art show alert!!! opening tomorrow in Richmond at HI•RES Gallery, 306 W. Grace St. Organized by the incredible @sillygenius.blacksky.app and @chrisvisions.bsky.social

Decorating my next sketchbook. It was a simple muji notebook with a flimsy paper cover. Now it’s a hardcover monstrosity reinforced with chipboard, vinyl, decorated with spray paint and stickers and whatnot.

Last page of a big sketchbook. What’s next?

Trying to read posts *vague gesture around*, and this bumper sticker by goodbye press resurfaces in my consciousness 😇 www.goodbyepress.com/product/huma...

I'm looking for more guests for my nascent #ttrpg podcast. Let me know if you've got an interesting project, or just something you want to chat about, for like 30 or so minutes. My specific interests are indie and OSR-style games, but am happy to chat about anything.

This is a very cool peek-at-process by @mallenhall.com . I love getting to see the notebook pages and maps-under construction!

More sketchbook RPG doodles

I especially liked this installment of Skeleton Code Machine because my partner and I really like playing Lies, Spies & Supplies (sequel/add-on to Land, Air & Sea). It's game that's both really interesting and pretty simple. Every time we play I get thinking about how we could hack it!

Just launched UHF Contact, an adventure collection for Liminal Horror with art by David Szilagyi www.kickstarter.com/projects/mal...

Just a few more pages left in this sketchbook, so here are a bunch of pages! Stickers on the covers by Oura, Noah, Bran, Brian’s Books, and EF. Idk who made the Shoplifter’s Guild one.

Getting back on the ZineXXXX wagon. Coming to Kickstarter this February. UHF Contact contains 3 solo-friendly adventures for Liminal Horror, as well as the tools from Alone in the Dark to facilitate solo play. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mal...

'Wandering Path' from 2023. This is a scan of a mixed media piece, before I cut apart and framed the halves. This is a hard one to scan, combining wet and dry media, transparent and opaque. The real painting has blotches of fluorescent orange, which scanned as a sort of dull light pink.

Yesterday I finished up the last batch of illustrations for THE BARON'S GRIP! Here is one of a settlement which I won't describe too much... you need to go there, or hear a rumor!! #mausritter #sandbox #osr #ttrpg

Today I infiltrated a Corpo's HQ, found the Internal Comms cabinet and stole a keycard. Solid day.

Last day to back The Baron's Grip, and all the Mausritter Month Projects! @mallenhall.com is making an amazing book, and I'm super proud of the art I've been contributing. A big thank you to our backers, from some of our important NPCs! #mausrittermonth #osr
