Amateur human professional weirdo Midwesterner at home in Brooklyn Currently going through a cancer "journey"
Ooh so three months of chemo treatment has shrunk my very rare and aggressive adrenal tumor by 12 square inches or .75% so fuck yes and here's a squid warrior
Here's another one, my first attempt at drawing magic. All these little guys just wander through my head...
A couple years back I did a bunch of #EldenRing inspired drawings so I'm gonna post them here. @russellmarkolson.bsky.social once I get some time I'm gonna make you a Tijuana Bible style book of these like you mentioned... Here's a spider warrior queen....
Finally got my own figure from #CoalDog and #Damtoys. Look up their collabs, always amazing. #urbanvinyl #arttoys
I am by no means the most skilled painter but I did a lot of minis last year to help me quit smoking. Lots of #TMNT designs among the ETSY resin printers and I was able to make a fun cast of characters for our version of the #MYZ Lair of the Saurians storyline #trpg #mutantYearZero
My old friend @russellmarkolson.bsky.social has been drawing comics as long as I've known him (decades) and his cover for SKRAWL has me in love with a pickle barrel poodle...
Feeling run down but still a long way to go, got my imagination to help cause you gotta keep going
I'm having a real rough time this week but there are some bright spots, one of which was a fine Father's Day with my kids. Which reminded me that I commissioned the excellent wild-at-heart artist @elkowalczuk.bsky.social for a piece that they absolutely loved so here it is COLORFUL, FUN, VIBRANT!
Cleaned my phone & found this one of first adversaries I made for our campaign but still haven't used yet.Two bots that patrol a robotics developers' high rise near Jersey City; one a damaged gunner, the other a fanatical personal assistant of the mad billionaire himself. #MUTANTYEARZERO #MYZ #TTRPG
I'm always drawing little monsters in my work journal & my students get excited to see them. A couple years back one of my 4th graders asked me to make a list of monster foods for his little sister, a kindergartener. So I did, & she cut them all out and made a paper monster to feed them to. #MakeArt
In the midst of doomscrolling i came across the art of @elkowalczuk.bsky.social & immediately loved it. About a month ago I commissioned a piece from him as a gift for my kids, of our #MutantYearZero campaign characters. Lucasz was kind, professional, & did a great job. Here it is poster-sized!
Here's the sculpture, he's about knee high to me so toddler-sized?
I made the sculpture piece before I made the drawing, but they both turned out great. This is Gerald, the Gowanus Shaman. Technically a fey creature, he wanders the waterways of NYC searching for meaning and collecting talismans along the way.
More #EldenRing inspired characters. #DnD What do you think their character sheet stats would be?
Still think about #EldenRing every day and here are some of the characters I was making for a card set my kids got for xmas a couple years back. My favorite is the Rat Queen, followed by the raven bros and the disgusting barkeep. #DnD
