If you're into warhammer (bit of a longshot I know) there are plenty of humorous stickers available on crippledgiraffdecals.bigcartel.com made by me and other equally sexy artists.

I will do a lot to make a dumb joke come to life so I knew I had to put my full-half-assed power to make Simon's dream come true to edit this. Every step I thought "the more shitty it looks, the more real it will come across"

Viking camp for Chivalry and Honour. It probably needs a few more bases and ships as well as some flock to texture the base but it’s painted up at least! 3mm figures.

It's been such a privilege to write for Rascal, to write for you, and it would be really nice if I could do it next year as well. If you can sign up, please do. I would do so much better, the work world be so much better, if the site wasn't precious.

Zoog is another weird fiction inspired first edition woodcut print that is nearly sold out. If nobody snatches it from my Etsy shop, it will be going to NecronomiCon Providence with me!

I'm quite proud of this Badab Series! Thanks for the ArtShare Qsy!
me about to get kicked out of the hobby store: "which chapter of space marines possesses an irrepressible joie de vivre while maintaining a wry sense of humor towards the foibles of life in the distant grimdark future? those are the ones on which I will base my toys' color scheme"

Was there a single piece of D&D news today that isn’t refrying an old setting or a mash up with another IP? Don’t get me wrong, I’m interested in Dark Sun for sure and Greyhawk/Dragonlance to a lesser extent but man…this slate has not got much creative juice

I bloody love the #IClaudius theme and titles. It’s the musical equivalent of “something wicked this way comes…”
