I've got farmer's market this weekend and it's Watermelon Fest. One of the possums will be a little watermelon dude. Vine Street Market in O'Fallon IL if you're in the area.

This year's con-drop has manifested in a rather gnarly migraine. This is one parting present I could've done without, Gen Con.

Did you know I have two spots at the moment for art in the mail? This month's theme is DRAGONS. Not sure about September yet. October is Halloween. I've got a bunch of different tiers. I'm thinking wiggly noodle dragons like below. Other tiers too, Branches just has a cap :) patreon.com/fallenlights

Oh dang it's Yaoi Day? If you like your hot dudes, boning, with a generous side of fantasy adventure, check me out! jeremyrayne.itch.io books2read.com/jeremyrayne

And so ends Gen Con 2026....in five minutes.

Just having some fun at Gen Con.

Tornado warning during Gen Con sure was something not on my bingo card.

Day three is soon! You still have time to stop by!

Gen Con is here... let's goooo! Stop by booth 1356 for all of your fantasy fine art and reading needs! Swing by, say hi, get some books signed and badge ribbons and more! @fallenlights.net and I love making new con friends! #GenCon #GenCon2026 #Indy #Indianapolis #Books #art

@jwtroemner.bsky.social Thanks for stopping by the booth this morning. I am so sorry I was quick, my daughter wanted to go see a game and it's easier to do before the hordes descend upon us 😆

So begins Gen Con Day two as we slowly crawl out of bed towards caffeine and sustenance. I'll be back at booth 1356 today as much as possible. Apologies if I missed anyone yesterday while making drink/food runs. Stop by and say hi! I'm out of hardcovers, but plenty of books left! #GenCon

16300+ steps today. Expecting the same the next three days. Send help.

Overhead at Gen Con "The coffee here is so black Anish Kapoor isn't allowed to drink it."

TODAY IS THE DAY!
