Then: 25 years of art for folks like Nickelodeon, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Nike, Burton, Planet X Games, Victory Records, and a heap more. Now: running a gaming social club in Butler, PA. 💍 Partner to Jentendo in life and crime.
I've been running a social-club-third-space centered around gaming for going on four years. Whenever I see people post about the sorts of spaces we need, societally, I mentally check all the requisites we hit. It's gone really well, we're not going anywhere. It's tiring work, but rewarding.
I forgot to post this yesterday, but we've got two more of these this year. Thought that counts?
Stefan Poag bringing that old school heat. Man, I just cannot get enough of his stuff. Pure OSR magic.
My art assets and dystopic, corporate entity branding work, so far, for a Mothership adventure and sourcebook I'm working on.
I made an Affinity asset library for all the bits and bobs I'm adding to sci-fi maps for my Mothership sourcebook. It makes piecing together complex scenes (like this Ace Judicial corporate mediation chamber) buildable, fast.
'Couple more fictional corporations for a Mothership sourcebook I'm working on. The list grows, but the corpo stooges and grunts gotta come from somewhere. And the businesses beget all the rest in a setting like this.
Compilation of all my Mothership corpo-distopia logos from yesterday and tonight. Got a lot more to make for my sourcebook. I've freelance illustrated & designed for clients like Nike, Burton, Nickelodeon, MST3K, etc, for 20+ years, so I'm putting on my vector hat for these and having some fun.
Working on the fictional independent corporate entities for my dystopic Mothership ttrpg sourcebook. It's a great excuse to make some fake logos. Lmao.
Finished my two-level corpo-research vessel map for a @mothership.bsky.social one-shot I'm running soon. Drawing all the bits as I went is creating a bit of a vector asset library to more quickly make maps for Mothership in the future which makes me happy.
Had a blast drawing the tiny bits on this @mothership.bsky.social adventure map. Now I just need to finish two other levels.
I'm drawing the first level map of a @mothership.bsky.social one-shot I'm writing. I just need to finish the armory and the armory security scanner room. Close.
Making some new animations for my club's game room, today (I projection mapped the walls and table for running D&D--well, DCC, in my case).
Gammorean guard, taxidermied head wall mount sculpt. Wip. Tinkering as I have time.
HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

What I got done on my decaying gamorrean guard sculpt tonight!
Creature token doodles continue. My first time using Krita in a while--and the first digital or iPad/Clip Studio thing in ages.
Messing around with some stylistic departures for my TTRPG tokens.
TTRPGs for Trans Rights: Ohio is live on @itch.io! For as low as $5, get over $1700 worth of games, zines, digital accessories, and more! All proceeds benefit @kycohio.bsky.social and @transohio.bsky.social, two organizations doing important work for LGBTQ+ folks in Ohio! itch.io/b/2946/ttrpg...
Found this work of mine in the wild. Bones Coffee Co. sells some of the SpongeBob art I made for Nickelodeon on bags 'n mugs.
Making quick character portraits for a kids D&D game my shop runs this Sunday. Like a billion more to go.
Mickey 17 is right up there with They Live for showing to normie friends and hoping some class consciousness might blossom in their skulls.
Out in the world, drawing chaos creatures for fun and no profit.
Two years in, and I still can't believe I built this, game master here, and get to create adventures, art, animation for this space.
Tonight’s bedtime 3ttrpg token doodle. Another pulpy sci-fantasy alien-y monster.
