It’s Friday! You meet in a tavern and plan your next adventure.

This week, I want to give a big shoutout to an awesome group playing D&D in Cole Harbour, NS. They invited me to create this map of their home brew setting and it was a real treat!

Fantasy map making is more than a process. For me, it’s a journey across uncharted lands full of wonder, danger and mystical lore while I use my extensive skill set to bring all to life as best I can!

Although most of my client work is digital, or sometimes a hybrid of traditional and digital, I long to create more hand inked maps on paper. I do have a few back burner projects to that effect…

As part of my very busy first month of the year, I am currently working on a new poster/T-shirt design for @dndinacastle.bsky.social for 2026! Here are the previous two illustrations I was lucky to create for them for ‘24 and ‘25.
