While I patiently wait for this tariff situation to fix itself, so I can get book two printed, I'll share some art from the Ancient Ones series.

Titled Morningstar. I created it while trying not to spiral out during the pandemic. I felt like the escape also meant freedom to get back to art.

Today was the birthday of a friend who passed away. To say I miss him is an understatement. He helped me so much on my journey. While some people kicked me down he lifted me up. He was a good soul in a world that really needs them. I spent today focusing on the positive, happy things in my life. I'd like to think he'd have wanted it that way. May we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.

My first try at painting Artist Proofs. I'll have these on display at Magic Con Atlanta. Three of these have already sold. They'll all be on display as examples of what you can commission from me. Hope y'all like them.

This is a Runestone, which enhances your magic. Currently worn by Illyana, another member of the Sun's of Orion.

I'll be back in Atlanta next week for my first Magic Con! I'm excited and nervous.
I'll have my AP paintings on display and will be taking pre-orders. I'll also be signing and have pre-signed cards. And finally I'll have tons of playmats available.

September 26-28. Hope to see y'all there.

:: “Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.” - L.R. Knost

My brotha from another motha, @briancolin.com, got hit with an insane cost in tariffs. You don't need to buy the Plunderlust game, but if you've got a little extra, it would help offset some of this craziness.
