Artist, designer, kids book author, geek, movie-goer. Just trying to be a little better today than yesterday.
I think this is a board for a potential new take on the Pigeonhole game.

I’m really good at making boards first without knowing any of the game rules, lol.

I knew this one was going to be trouble right away, lol.

Sometimes you get lucky and it's a good grouping of dots and easy to get single digits. Today was not one of those days, lol.

I’m pretty basic with how I think about my 3d designs. Mostly extruding flat layers into 3d. Part of that is how I get things to look 3d with only a one color printer but it’s also just how my brain works after 5 years of making things with a laser cutter, lol.

Playing around today with 3d text. This is also a font I designed for myself a while ago too.

Not sure what I’ll do with it yet, maybe add some rings to the back for a “brass knuckle” kind of thing?

The beginnings of my "Pigeonhole Principle" game. Kind of an experiment to see if I can make a game with the fewest possible number of pieces (currently 15. 10 cards & 5 blocks). #gamedesign #tabletopgames

Might have to make a daily 6x6 Solo Toppa to have a more challenging option for people play.

Been a while since I did an index of posters.

Certainly not a complete representation. Mostly the poster work I've done for my own creative fulfillment over the past 25 YEARS! (I'm sure I've missed more than a few thanks to my ever-so creative file labeling system). #posterart #posterartist

A bit of card and box art I did for “Escape from Horrorwood” from NewVenture Games. I like all cards but the Werewolf and Mummy are probably my favorites! #tabletopgames #gameart

Been a while since I cut anything on the laser (preoccupied with my 3d printer I guess) but I figured since I recently got the rights back to this graphic I’d make some wooden postcards & bookmarks for upcoming shows. #lasercutting

Thought this one was going to be quicker. 22’s still not too bad though. #toppa #onlinegame

If I ever get an app made for Toppa I’d love for it to save a history of points scored similar to Wordle.

I wonder if it’s worth adding a max number of turns so there’s a chance of “losing”?

Got in my Toppa cards in for the “Stacks” card version of Toppa. Still need to play test.

The swapping of boards is such a big part of the tabletop version, the challenge will be in how to incorporate a similar mechanic into the card game. #tabletop #cardgame

One of my current projects is a Holiday card game. Hopfully it will be ready for this year! Even if it's not a specific game of its own, it should be suitable for most traditional card deck games. #cardgame #tabletop

Just realized when you uncover 4 red dots & reset the board it also resets all stacks too. I mean, that’s how it should work but it wasn’t a conscious decision of a potential strategy when I was designing the game.
