I've been having some fun lately drawing all the characters from the Hobbit.

Black and white drawings of Bilbo, a hobbit, and Gandalf, a wizard

they could have just used regular dice and called it a day but they chose to make them with irregular spots and I love that detail.

tell Wiley it will all turn out fine. Hmm I definitely missed the letter people, but wow they are a whole look, huh?

I think these are my earliest Kindergarten memories?

From the Lippincott Beginning to Read, Write, and Listen letter books. I vividly remember Tig the Tiger and liked the use of symbols in the sentences. I also constantly mixed up lowercase “b” and “d” and wrote ded instead of bed every time.

so cool to see new art for one of our favorite games, and the one we teach to new folks the most.

Ryogo Toyada’s art is so blobby and appealing, it’s the perfect match for this silly game rgtd.net

the other morning at the coffee shop I got to draw a cat on a kid’s cast. It was pretty cool to get asked to contribute. Jokes on her though she has to look at that cat every day for a month.
