Hello there, my name is Darren Calvert and I'm a design teacher and freelance illustrator from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I try to focus on art and things I like but occasionally go off on a bit of a rant.

The sweeties at @darringtonpress.bsky.social invited me and my co-designer Cass Rea to make something special for the upcoming #Daggerheart expansion.
It's part Slugblaster, part Onward, and pairs well with a slurpee and 2009 dreampop.
It's called Castle High and I can't wait for you to see it!

Have probably watched more anime in the past year or so than in the previous decade. Partly to understand what my nephews were talking about with stuff like One Piece but I also got sucked in by Delicious in Dungeon.

Introducing my fundamentals class to isometric drawing tonight so I have a legitimate excuse to talk about how I use it to figure out Minecraft builds. 🤓

Two More Weeks! ✌🏻
absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Kind of seems like illegally appointing a totally unqualified prosecutor to target your political enemies is another one of those things that should be grounds for impeachment.

I saw a video showing some pages for a book on inking but the persons video didn’t say what the book was. So now I need your help. Here’s some screen grabs. It looks like a reprint of an old book (and god knows I may even own a copy already!)

I like this LEGO set based on the Spider-Man 2 subway train scene with a weirdly cocky looking Aunt May hanging on to the car with one hand.

Also need to keep in mind who is letting these monsters run roughshod over their various fiefdoms. Going to be a tough competition to see which Trump appointee is responsible for the most deaths.
DOGE is disbanding after an estimated 600,000+ people died in other countries because of USAID cuts to lifesaving food and medication.
Elon Musk will go down as one of history's' most prolific mass murderers of children.
Anyone driving a Tesla is supporting a nazi.
