Chao, Chile! You were delicious, fascinating, and oh so hospitable!

"Where there's a whip, *whooopssh* there's a [crooked] way!" For my one card in The Hobbit set in MTG, I met some nasty goblinses and orcs high in the Misty Mountains one night and captured this still moment before bad things befell. AD: Cassie Murphy

Hey all my GenCon-bound friends, I'm missing you! I'm about to embark on my free trip to Chile instead. 😇 Portland > Atlanta > Santiago, 13 hours in flight. I hope we all have safe travels and excellent shows this week!

I haven't been able to share any rough sketches in a while, but this project isn't covered by a WotC NDA, so here we go! A lovely author client is letting me go hog wild with something that mostly just needs to sit between genres vibe-wise, and I'm having fun. :-)

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I’m Majikarpette and I like designing and illustrating things that are macabre and funny. Taking things slow this year, but if I’m drawn to your project, I’m glad to be of assistance! majikarpette.art

My first card art reveal for the Magic the Gathering Star Trek set! 'Explore' features Captain Archer and his dog, Porthos, setting off on an adventure in an alien world. AD: Colin Boyer

Well, well, it's #portfolioday already? I just got back home from a trip, so I'm out of the loop. However, if you like fantastical landscapes, then I got some for you! I'm mostly working for MTG and D&D these days.

My son wanted to join me this weekend in Tacoma!

"Grim Captain's Locker" Lost Caverns of Ixalan, MTG. A trove of dark magics lost (then found?) on a freshwater riverbed.

Miscon begins! Here's my humble display. They're already spoiling us artists and other guests, and a good time is being had by all. :)

I'll be having a great time in Missoula this weekend as Artist Guest of Honor at Miscon 40! How much trouble can the rented house full of artists get into? We're about to find out, Todd Lockwood, Jeff Sturgeon. ;-)

It's been a year since I got to reveal this crazy piece! "Stomping Ground" MTG, Edge of Eternities

I'm excited to once again be exhibiting at Dragonsteel Nexus, late this year! (Yeah, okay, I've so many convention announcements to share, lately. I swear I'm still making art... just lots of stuff under NDA.)

I'm slated to be the first overseas guest artist for Cardfest in Santiago, Chile! Sometimes things work out in unpredictable ways. I was bummed not to be part of Gen Con this year after so many years exhibiting, but it turns out that week I'll visit South America for the first time instead!

New original art is rising up from the depths ~ and available to collect as add-ons in my latest crowdfunding campaign! Find your Wild Shape at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/aar... #dnd #druid #dnd2024 #dnd55e

As I leave one con behind (had my best Denver Fan Expo yet), I head to another in a few days (Lilac City Comic Con), and I look forward to being Artist Guest of Honor at another at the end of the month at Miscon in Missoula, Montana!

Okay, so, another first: first Slay the Spire shopkeeper cosplay. So awesome!

Met my very first Regent cosplay! Necrobinder when?

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Denver FanExpo begins in a few minutes! Come say hi at booth AP1401!

I'll be exhibiting at Denver FanExpo this weekend, and I'm trying something different... a Tolkien-themed stamp rally! Come say hi if you're at the show. :-)

Just a few of my favorite artist proof paintings in acrylic! As I slog through a particularly difficult painting I can't yet share, I have to remind myself of the wins.

Successfully ran my first session as a dungeon master! Starting their adventures in Shadowdale with MY art was pretty cool (hey, just following instructions from the book, haha). I think the Littlest Art Director is hooked!

While I can't share most of what I'm working on, at least there's always proofs!

'The Road to Moria', aka Caradhras, is complete! I'm excited to have this ready for my next show, coming up in Denver.

With credit to the amazing Austin Kwok for the photos, a few memories from MagicCon Vegas! In such gatherings, you can sometimes spot my hat somewhere in the shadows at the back. Twas a great time with great friends, colleagues, and fans.

Perhaps overshadowed by other news, but it means so much to me to have been received by fans of Magic the Gathering like this. The past couple days have been exhausting in the best way. Among other things, a lady from NASA came by to tell me my spacescapes are enjoyed by folks there. Oh, my heart!

Magic Con Vegas begins shortly! Should be a busy and most excellent weekend, seeing lots of friends and fans. Anyone who wants to check out the original painting for Library of Alexandria should come by and check that out before the collector comes by to get it on Sunday!

Heading to a good (working) time in Vegas this weekend. Hope to see some of you there!

Making progress on this acrylic painting that will be debuting at Denver FanExpo!
