As I am very busy (more on that Monday), I am looking back at work done 16 and 14 years ago. This was the first original D&D Monster Manual entry that I redesigned for a personal project that ended with over 100 monsters reworked. christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2026/01/revi... #bugbear #dndartist

I have walked past this sign in the park for a couple of months now, and it makes me laugh each time. That is not how any of this works. You have been supplied with your cat. That has always been your cat. Enjoy the cat distribution system that is the park. #cat #kitten #catdistributionsystem

Wookiee Life Day decorations went up over the weekend but weren't finalized until last night. The right tree is all characters, and the left tree is vehicles with character overflow. And this isn't all of the ornaments.
