We love a Leon S. Kennedy certified™️ one-liner.

My Epheria map, made in I think, 2023 for Ryan Cahill. This was a fun one and for an early project, a huge honour to work on!

Can't wait to partner with @tallshepherd.com once more for our second Vonvalt prequel novella The Anguished Earth in October of 2026!

Loved working on this map, @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social are doing some special, special stuff! Very excited to show off map #2😎

Selling my Graphics Tablet if any other artist or designer in the UK is interested. It’s amazing, just didn’t really fit into my workflow and took up too much space. Only used it a handful of times! ebay.us/m/GW3Vo4

I do like that the cards are optional but I agree that they haven’t nailed communicating the info in a better way, the section in the book is way too confusing! I haven’t tried demiplane yet though, interesting!

Vengeance Guardian this time, but tried Elements Sorcerer for a one shot previously and had fun with that too!

Spent the evening working on the character for my next TTRPG campaign; Daggerheart this time! Very excited to get stuck in after our 3 year first campaign came to an end in December.

My interest in boardgames has been reignited recently, been enjoying them properly again after a few years of not playing many at all. Feels good. Senjutsu has been a favourite, alongside HEAT. Wingspan is always fantastic too.

Gonna try and make this place work for me again, Twitter has been gone for a long time but I was hanging on because it was my highest following. Gonna try and be more active here. Will be reposting a bunch of my maps to introduce myself properly!

Yeeep, it's the worst place around.
Hahaha don't worry at all! Honestly no rush, today has been email central for me too😭

Hard agree with your twitter post on insta. Grossest shit imaginable. Hope this place gets the momentum it needs now.

Off to Lundy Island for the weekend! See you on the other side🫡

Ai art sucks for many reasons but its ubiquitousness is the one that gets me. No art director worth their salt would ever specify a style that generic and un-ownable. Yeah, you might have saved some money, but you’ve also torpedoed your chance at being memorable.

It'd be nothing without your formidable imagination Philip!

The map I created for the wonderful @philipchase90.bsky.social and his special edition released via the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, this was an upgraded version of an earlier map I put together when Philip first released his epic trilogy!

Witcher-related purchases from this evening’s author event. New copy of Last Wish to replace my (awful) netflix tie-in copy (that I got to replace my lost original copy). Also Season of Storms because it was the last one I needed to complete the collection.

Thank you😭 you’re the best🤟 I shall appear in your email inbox in a puff of smoke soon.

Lost my grandma last night, if you’re expecting something from me I’ll get back to you asap but I’m gonna take some time for myself over the next couple of days.

Won’t be long, sorry I’ve kept you waiting but I cannot wait to show you what’s been cooking😭😭

Cooking up something special for @krystlematar.bsky.social, cannot wait to show it. It’s a project that’s let me play close to historical maps, and I’m trying to make it as authentic as possible. Put a lot of time into the linework specifically with this one, hopefully it pays off!

More maps more maps more maps!!!

Adam is an excellent guy and a powerhouse of a creative! Check out his kickstarter, it's a project that's worthy of your time, especially if you're as keen on fantasy (and maps in particular) as I am! I got to work on some new maps for it (as well as providing a few pre-made ones).

One day I’ll be finished IN THE SHADOW OF MY BRIGHT FUTURE and then I can show all of you fabulous humans the map of Haven that @tallshepherd.com made for me and it’s going to be amazing!!!

I shall be there to sound the trumpets and shout about it from the ramparts! (And also show it off everywhere, I love how that project came together) 🎺🎺🎺

I had the pleasure of working on some bits for Adam, this project is mega and if youre a fan of fantasy, worldbuilding or maps, then you don’t wanna miss the Kickstarter. Adam has done a great job all around, and he’s pulled together a heck of a team.

As I haven’t shared anything here in a while here’s an (unintentionally) blurry timelapse of some city mapmaking!

A dark blue hardcover book with a bright blue design of a deer's head, standing upright on a table. Next to it is a lighter blue slipcase for it.

A dark green hardcover book with a tan deer's head cutout on the front cover, with a child head silhoutte against the deer's. The book is standing upright on a table. Next to it is a brown leather slipcase decorated with gilded details.

Side by side on table is a wooden box with intricate laser cut wood designs depicting a castle, and a tan leather book with a dark tone drawing of a child and a dog sitting in a rocky landscape.

Anthony at Curious King does such a good job, he puts so much into each edition, I’m super thankful to him for bringing me on board, have worked with him on and off since 2022 and he’s the real deal! I would be in the same boat if I didn’t get artist copies though, they are very exclusive haha.

Thanks man! Was so cool to get to work on a legendary series!
