A close look at the enchanted forest map for the upcoming Perils & Princesses TTRPG adventure “The Princess & The Dragon.” I love taking a simple point crawl and injecting it with atmosphere and style. Dropping an evocative world map on the table really entices players to explore.

I'm planning an update to the layout and prompts of my solo journalling game, Creation Myths ✨
However, I told myself I'd only do it once it achieves Copper over on DriveThruRPG. Well I just checked and it's really close!
Its also 67% off right now, so... 😉😉

This is what old print proofs are for, right?
When the glue has dried, these mixed up pages of my games will get painted over and we'll see if this is something I love or hate. 😅

Commissions are open and I’m looking for work again!
I’ve mainly worked as an illustrator on TTRPG projects like Mad as Hell and Grimwild and also as an Art Director for A Thousand Rats Devor A City.
I’m open for any kind of visual work, may it be commercial or private!

Our puss is looking very stylish at the moment in a leopard print onesie and a floofy cone of shame. The poor guy had a bad skin reaction to his arthritis meds (but he will be fine. Just a little indignity.)

Some stories are difficult not just because of the effort it takes to tell them, but because of the subject matter. This story is both.
Seven months, six Rascals, five creators, and a dozen drafts, revisions, and versions later... We have a story that is necessary, heartbreaking, and important.

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.
Battle over Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast contracts leaves the book, relationships, torn apart

Honor your agreements—pay your freelancers. If you’re in a tight spot financially, or other parties cause money problems so that you’re suddenly low on funds, that’s unfortunately completely irrelevant. The freelancers don’t need to care about that. Pay them.

This is such a generous offer! If you know someone who could really benefit from it, please send it their way! (or maybe it's you??)
In 2025 we raised ~$300 to fund a new website which remains unspent. As our final act upon this material plane, we will be using that money to award 6x $50 USD micro grants to ttrpg designers or content creators that could use a small boost.

It's been a year since I started going to my local art school for painting classes.
Here's my (in class) progress (I'm still pretty proud of how the teapot turned out.) I was just developing a sense of colour and how to handle the paint back then. Now I feel miles more confident.

These are my most recent cherry with walnut inlay tests with one coat of hard wax oil slowly drying on them -- noting that I really should align the tile & letter wood grain next time, and they'll get at least two coats of oil.
