I am Luke Parnell, I play and design board and card games. I have been a professional artist for 20 years, avid hiker and northerner.
While this space will centre on board game design I will also show my art practice.

Look what I got in today! A bit of a delivery delay but it all worked out. Fate of Witches: The Coven Building Game, unboxing. I know nothing about the game, I bought it because of the card art.

In the last year my art has graced the cover of two books. “Fall of Man” on the cover of Aesthetics of Repair by Eugenia Kisin,
“Neon Reconciliation Explosion” on the cover of Revue D’etudes Autochtones. They both feature an interview with yours truly. #lukeparnellart

Since my Game is called War Canoe I took some pics of the Bill Reid Canoe in Vancouver and the canoe at the Digby island airport in Prince Rupert. I’ll use them for references in the card art, I’m working on the game today.

Thanks for hosting this artshare!
I'm a semi-retired freelancer (due to disability). Most of my work is digital mixed media and leans towards darker themes. These are some of my more recent pieces.

I ran a game design workshop at my local makerspace today. It was fun showing off the games me and my friends have made as a starting point. I loved that I could say, “you don’t have to make a thousand copies to bring your game to life.” Indie games rule!!

Last week in Vancouver I went to MOA at UBC I looked at a beautiful Chilkat robe and saw a book by my friend Eugenia Kisin with my sculpture “fall of man on the cover. I then went to @vancouverplaytest.bsky.social and showed my game War Canoe

Last Tuesday night I was part of a round table on Indigenous storytelling through play. I talked about storytelling in boardgame design. The other 2 panelists talked about it from a video game perspective. It was a fun night.
I showed 3Ravenz, War Canoe and Feral Cat Frenzzi. 3 very different games

I just got back from Vancouver, I did some talking and some play testing, it was excellent. I also saw some art, I feel like I’m ready to reconnect with the art world and I feel invigorated by the board game design community. It was a great trip, more photos will follow.

This game is called, Feral Cat Furenzzi, it is a 2 to 6 player family game that plays in about 20 minutes. Players take turns placing cat cards until they are ready to play a capture card and catch up to 4 cats. The player with the most points wins!

This game is called War Canoe, formally Oolicon City. It’s an hand building, action selection, combo, order fulfillment, area majority with end game scoring race game. I’m going to play test this new iteration based on past play tests.

Day 31, mask, Cardtober is done! I brainstormed card art for 3 Ravenz card game. There are 40 cards to do, but this was a good exercise. I’m feeling confident, tho there is still a lot of work to do as these will be full colour illustrations.
