I’ll have a booth at MagicCon Atlanta, September 26-28. And I’ll have 30 different playmats with me (29 pictured here), but only a very limited quantity of each.

Whatever playmats I have left will be for sale on my website after Atlanta.

My hubby and I had a very fun time being interviewed (if a jokey chat can be called that) on The Morning Blend. The background was awesome, highlighting Jeff's art (@jeffmiracola.com), and Molly and Tiffany are a hoot. Enjoy. www.tmj4.com/shows/the-mo...

My wife’s new book, Mail-Order Monsters: Crash Course, is out today. It’s a most excellent middle grade read. It also has some fun illustrations in the book from yours truly 🙂

Yeah, a bummer this year as I am not able to attend Vegas and neither are any of my faculty. Oh well, next year maybe. Hopefully I’ll be in Atlanta.

Looking for Adobe alternatives? Try some of these. I personally switched to Affinity and ProCreate a while back and I don’t miss Adobe one bit. I had a paid Adobe subscription for 12 years until they decided to choose AI over human artists. So glad they are getting dunked on today :-)
