Maidens of the Spear
Chiad and Bain from the Wheel of Time (Amazon series). These were a 2-month, 2-person effort to bring to life. Erin handled all fabric parts, I made all leathers and weapons (with 3d print help). I couldn't be more proud 🧡

Very fortunate that beautiful locations like this exist near me to capture #MariaRenard in. I'd, of course, take going to Europe any day, but the gothic vibe was perfect.

This might be my favorite in this photo set of Maria from Castlevania. You really get to see a lot of the little details that went into it.

How to beat Curse of Strahd, a conversation today:
Classic: Build up your party, recruit allies, slay the vampire.
Civil engineer: Construct a dam over 20-30yrs, blow it and flood the valley.
Economist (me): Gentrify the shit out of the valley and drive him out thru property taxes and an HOA.

Straight from Netherlands and Ireland to Nashville for work, then another back to back with New Mexico, Colorado, Missouri. And two other work trips I still need to schedule.
I'm exhausted, when will I work on my garden, much less Dragoncon cosplays 😭

Ireland, you were magical. I did not have on my 2025 bingo card getting a private tour of a rare art collection in a restored country castle, listening to sheep bleat at night, exploring an abandoned monastery abbey while petting cows, and walking through 5,200 yr-old Neolithic burial sites 💚
