An awesome surprise at Gen Con! I hadn't known when it was coming out, and it's been a while since I painted this. Loved the whole idea when they sent me the description, I'm so glad it's part of Magic now. Models are my adorable bastard kitty Cinder, and me without makeup.
Magic Con Amsterdam! Come see just how broken and disheveled a jet-lagged and overworked me can look! I can shake my head back and forth, my baggy eyelids can flap back and forth and slap my ears! Truly a marvel and a horror to behold.
I got to paint with my favorite people again! The Lightweaver Foundation and the Compass Gallery hosted an amazing paint night. We painted characters from the Cosmere, while Hoid himself heckled us. Art was made, laughter was had, crayons were eaten.
An homage to Dark Ritual by Sandra Everingham. On a retro frame Liliana of the Veil artist proof.
I'll be at MagicCon Amsterdam in July, doing my usual shenaniganery. Signing cards, sketching, and making up stories about how I got into art via a lab experiment gone awry, leaving me forever changed or somesuch.
An homage to Diabolic Tutor on a Liliana of the Veil Retro Frame artist proof. A hat-tip to the OG. (Does anyone use those words anymore? How out of touch am I these days? I want to be groovy and radical just like the hep cats! Uh... six seven? Skibbidy? AM I COOL YET?)
I got to paint fossils with some of my favorite people!
Behold: I have finally become a Real Artist. I am honored and delighted to the point of peeing myself ever-so-slightly, to be included in this years Lore exhibit at The Compass Gallery. www.thecompassgallery.com
As always, we have a limited edition vinyl playmat decal for Magic Con Vegas. Behold: Cinderbeard the Half-Toothed, the Chattiest Pirate.
Also our limited edition vinyl for Dragonsteel Nexus: MerVin! Come get yours at booth A14!
Brand new, and just in time for Dragonsteel Nexus: Portfolio books for Way of Kings and Words of Radiance. The 6 images I did for each of the leatherbound editions plus 1 of the Order of Knights Radiant. 11x14 inches, with a foiled portfolio to keep them in.
Super excited to head out to Belgium for the Magic Antwerp Regional Championship! I've got this cute lil' lion coming with me. And if you like, you can commemorate the event by getting your own put on a playmat. I hear Belgium has pretty good chocolate. I'm looking forward to testing this claim.
Cosmere Inktober Day 6: Climb Our Damsel, markedly devoid of distress, is relentless in her quest to rescue Mervin, and vanquish the voracious villain. Is this the end of the monsters' appetite for tyranny? (I'm only 18 days behind! At this pace, I may just finish before next years' Inktober!)
My Magic: the Gathering art A-Z-ish: R R is reckless! No recks whatsoever. Any reck we find is swiftly removed and given a very stern reprimand.
My Magic: the Gathering art A-Z-ish: O and P OP Is for Optimus Prime! Fun fact: I was in Japan for a Magic event, then a few weeks of touring when I got the Optimus Prime assignment. So for most of it, I just had my phone to do art with.
Cosmere Inktober, Day 5: Promise Knittens and his freed and very cross new friend vow to rescue Mervin. Is this the end of the damsel-in-distress trope? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere
Cosmere Inktober, Day 4: Piercing Oh no! Mervin looks too much like a marshmallow in a hat! Is this the end of our lovable wizard? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere
Cosmere Inktober, Day 3: Shielded Our intrepid heroes Mervin and Knittens stand against the injustice of people as monster snacks. Is this the end of the beasts' buffet of terror? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere
Cosmere Inktober, Day 02: Imprisoned Oh no! A quintessential damsel in distress! Is this the end of the maiden fair? #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere
Mervin studies devoutly in hopes of becoming a legendary wizard someday. Like Merlin, Gandalf, and Terry Pratchett. #CosmereInktober2025 #cosmereinktober #inktober #cosmere
