My first card for Magic: The Gathering's Edge of Eternities set has just been shared!

Land: Terramorphic Expanse
Art Director: Zack Stella
Three years without alcohol. It's been a journey, but I've had a solid support system.
"And it was the afternoon of Halloween. And all the houses shut against a cool wind. And the town was full of cold sunlight. But suddenly, the day was gone. Night came out from under each tree and spread.”
- Ray Bradbury
Thank you again for the amazing art! It really made my day. Totally unexpected.
“Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.”

“It takes a great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it.”
- Oscar Wilde
"... to see you fighting for the positive things, the constructive things, the good things, because it is a fight, sometimes back-breaking, sometimes soul-crushing, but always a fight to bring about those things most valued."
If you know what you want to do, do that. Everything else is an obstacle to be overcome or a distraction you must ignore.
Worth the read.
It's Diwali proper, so I'm going to use this opportunity to port over one of my favorite threads from the Other Place to tell the story of why this holiday matters so much and why i get choked up every time.
I hope to get to that much sleep someday. Sounds amazing.
People need to stop confusing my kindness for weakness. Flying too close to the Sun. Y'all gonna get burned.

No one remembers you for the things you were 'going' to do - only the things you 'did' do. Find your moment. Get started.

RIP Drew Struzan.
May we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.

While I patiently wait for this tariff situation to fix itself, so I can get book two printed, I'll share some art from the Ancient Ones series.

Titled Morningstar. I created it while trying not to spiral out during the pandemic. I felt like the escape also meant freedom to get back to art.

"Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are."
- Markus Zusak
We could so easily make a world we would all want to live in.
Did I hit save?
In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.
