Some photos I shot for my pal @whatrobindoes.bsky.social' s Kickstarter! Had a blast running around the woods, filming and taking the odd snap 🤘 Go check out the project - it's a sick folk horror DND supplement and it's almost at it's goal already! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob... #dnd #witch

Photo of a witch (Robin) in the woods (woods). White dress, red gloves, cool mask.

Closeup photo of Robin in a cool fox mask.

A grimoire! On the ground! At the base of a tree!

MagicCon: Amsterdam DONE. Thank you so much to everyone who came to get something signed or to buy something, that was an intense weekend 😅 And to all my beautiful artist pals (god it’s great to catch up), and my students too!! About 7 were here and that was wild. I am dead, this was great ❤️

The homies. Heading back from dinner in Amsterdam with Kimberley, Titus, Suus, Marta, Tyler, Johannes and his partner (and like 12 other artists and art directors who are out of shot). A beautiful bunch.

One of the many (many) stupid drawings I did this weekend

I made 75 of these sick artist proof booster packs and I’m bringing them to MagicCon: Amsterdam!!! Each contains 5 proofs from my collection, one signed per pack, and there are some super expensive proofs sprinkled in there. Also sketches, doodles, and even a full painting. See you there! 🤘

My table! Julian’s name is still on the site, I am not Julian sadly but I’ll do my best to uphold his good name.

This painting is in one of the packs!!! It’s an acrylic painting of Yosemite or somewhere I forget, warm light, bright colours

So I bought a nice printer to make my own prints for MagicCon: Amsterdam and they are gorgeous 👌

Rustwing Falcon for Magic: the Gathering. Painting of a falcon flying over a plains-style landscape.

Some fun dragon alters for a client 🐉

A photo of 4 Force of Negation alters, featuring dragons attacking the wizard.

A lil wip. It’s in the ugly stage, but that’s ok you gotta sit there for a while 🫡

Truly gutted to hear of John Blanche’s passing. I was obsessed with his art when I discovered it in the Warhammer 40k 2nd Edition box back in the 90s and still am. Rest in peace, legend x

Rome loves a spooky church, and so do I. Experimenting with some low ISO shooting (all at f1.7, 1/500, then cranking the ISO as low as I could to just get a little information).

A very dark black and white photo of a shrine? Alter? I don't know what goes on in churches. There's a glass box with a saint, probably, and candles, you know how this works.

A very dark black and white photo of a sculpture; a man with flowing locks (wig?) leans out and looks away. There are some cherubs hanging out.

A verrrrry dark photo of a sculpture (frieze? I can't remember my art history) featuring various... People and infants just kinda fannying around. Not quite sure what's going on here, it's more about the flow of shapes really.

A black and white photo of some mad alter. I love Catholics, they are truly bonkers. We've got some big candles, and some kind of angelic explosion of beams and... Clouds? Honestly, it's very hard to describe what is happening here.

Note that this was with these settings. If I set to “show” his profile is visible as normal, but I don’t actually want that enabled. Flagging every single post and the entire profile is the problem here.

Hey, @bsky.app, this sort of moderation is absolutely insane. This is my friend, I just wanted to see what he was up to. You have a huge artist community here who helped grow this site. If you keep this up you’re going to drive us all away. Sort it out.

Quick trip to Rome? Sure 👌

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 25

Aaaand a few more legends ❤️

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 25

Moreee

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 25

Only took a few photos at Commandfest Giessen, but it goes without saying that meeting up with art friends is the best bit of all ❤️

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 24

Yeah

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 24

Friends. Dogs of the AMS. I drew a lot of fucking furbies this weekend.

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 21

See you soon, Commandfest Giessen 🤘 If you’re in Germany and want some shit signed, I’ll be there all weekend x

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 14

sigh

Hi. (Thank you to Elysha Hayley for capturing my essence)

A photo of me squatting on the floor holding my furby in front of my face for some fucking reason

Day Three in the can. A very fun event - thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to @leylinenexus.bsky.social and @fanfinity.bsky.social x

I did a fair few Lord of the Rings alters. Balrog and Sauron helm.

Lost track of how many Force of Negations I signed. Easily over 600.

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 9

Day 2. What if you signed 1000 Force of Negations? A blessed time 👁️👄👁️ Magic is cool, people are nice xxx

More force of negation alters. An eye of some guy, a ring probably drawn by Marta, a Furby. The Triquetra

Paul Scott Canavan@paulscottcanavan· May 8

Signed a lot of fucking cards and drew some real dumb shit today. Day 1 of Magic Spotlight: Secrets London was mental. Thanks to everyone who came out and to @danielcane.bsky.social and the @leylinenexus.bsky.social crew for the support 🫡❤️ I am dead.

Some scrappy Force of Negation alters. A skull, the eye of Sauron and a furby.

An artist proof sketch of a furby cat. On the back of Nine Lives.

Jesus Christ I signed hundreds of Force of Negation cards today. Here are some.

My little table (my side table is taken up by a Furby ritual which I forgot to photograph).
