Darren M. A. Calvert @dmacalvert.bsky.social · Dec 14

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.

You can find me on Instagram shorturl.at/pBhFv

Prints or original art: shorturl.at/orzm8

Marker art! Top row are a smiling beholder and an ahthropomorphic mushroom guy playing a lute. Bottom row are a robot panda recharging at a bamboo pole charging station and a hybrid bunny/shark about to bite a carrot underwater.

Board games! Top row are Damage Control from WizKids and All Hands On Deck! from Salamander Games. Bottom row are Overboss and Overboss Duel from Brotherwise Games.

Illustration! Top row are a beaver relaxing at home reading a book and a series of Rogue One portraits done in an old school RPG style. Bottom row are a pen and ink drawing of a crab and "Final Sesame" with a Muppet Cloud Strife riding a Big Bird chocobo.

Beer can labels! Top row are Wild Barry Strawberry Ale with a sort of "Green Man" with strawberries growing in his beard/hair and Snowplow Luau Tropical Blonde Ale with snow tiki statues and pineapples. Bottom row are Golden Ticket Vietnamese Coffee Stout with a gold label and Vietnamese patterns and Saskatoon Ale Fruited Beer with pen and ink/watercolour drawings of Saskatoon berries growing on branches (think a slightly smaller, slightly more tart blueberry).

I don’t want to brag but I’m pretty good at matching things with other things

I'm not sure what the road surface was but some sort of cracked rubber "carpet" they rolled out and then scattered the gravel on top of.

4 years ago on this day they were shooting The Last of Us Season 1 just south of my condo

A photo of a street dressed to look "post-apocalyptic" with parked vehicles covered in fake vines and a fake "cracked" road surface.
