Thanks! It’s been a HOT MINUTE since I posted anything over here! 😅

Why would you come at me like this.

Sketchbookin 32! You may realize you are an organelle within a larger organism and that your sense of identity and of an independent self is ultimately an illusion of perspective. This is normal. Please carry on. #sketchbook #moleskine #prismacolor #psychedelicart #surrealism

Sketchbookin 31! The #ItaloCalvino book #InvisibleCities is easily my favorite piece of fiction. In it there’s a city with an above ground section for the living and a below ground section for the dead and it’s unclear which mirrors which. #sketchbook #moleskine #fantasyart #ruinlust

Bit more sketchbook. More soon.☮️

Sketchbookin 29! Crumbling Castles. Who lived here? What did they think was important? What was their philosophy? Did these halls echo with shouts of anger or love’s laughter? Are names, in letters long forgotten scratched on walls? #sketchbook #moleskine #blackwingpencil #fantasyart #ruinlust

A green stuff and resin bat-like goblin

I think that I need to sculpt some more bat goblins

…to the concept. Buddhists refer to one of the ways in which the world of appearances is false as it appearing like “castles in the clouds” and there are countless other occurrences of the idea in mythologies from around the world. It has a kind of archetypal resonance.

Sketchbookin 27! Laputa Reoccurring. Many folks know #Laputa from Ghibli’s #CastleintheSky but the name and the concept come from the 1726 novel Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. That’s not to denigrate Ghibli’s film as unoriginal. It’s one of my favorites it’s more to point to a universality…

The #charcoal fun continues.

Created this for an exhibition of my work at the Southern Vermont Arts Center. It’s been a great addition to the portfolio, and a piece my daughters want to inherit!

Broke out the #charcoal #tonedpaper and white chalk pencil for the first time in a while. Didn’t intend to do a piece like this but I guess the events of the last week or so kind of bubbled up through my usual imagery. Some #asemicwriting felt appropriate as well #ruinlust

Thanks for sharing! I should do more painting huh? 😄

Lovely work!

I recently completed all the Gotrek and Felix books set in the Old World. I figure it won’t be long before I do a relisten. They’re mostly great, and the 3 David Guymer ones at the end are genuinely impactful.

Sketchbookin 26! Baerë and Thorn go on an adventure! B and T are my fantasy anthro rabbit OCs. Am I allowed to use the term “OC”? It feels a bit like calling something fire or saying a song slaps. Like the Generation Police are gonna pop out and be like “Naw dawg you too old for that.” 😆

Yeah! I’ve been enjoying those “See what ya did there” videos. In addition to being able to get more words in it’s probably also a more platform appropriate medium to get ideas across nowadays.

I always struggled with Twitter. I’m not a concise writer so the short/shorter form style of it always chafed and it never stuck. Trying a little harder with this one. Also FB and Insta can be such an attention hole for me that a more minimal space might be better.

Sketchbookin 25! While out walking Freya at night I spotted two big staring eyes looking at me from out of the grass and leaves. It didn’t respond to my hellos so I took that as tacit permission to use it as inspiration for some #sketches #greenman #faeries #warhammer #28 #fantasyart #BrianFroud

Sketchbookin 24 (not starting the numbering over, too confusing for me 😆) Tourists. #Ruins hold a special attraction to me both aesthetically, historically and, for lack of a better term “psychically” #sketchbook #drawing #imaginary #landscapes #invisiblecities

Need to get better about posting over here if I’m to expect anything to happen eh? I’ve had a “Sketchbooking” series of posts going on elsewhere so I’ll start that off here as well! Some recent #drawings from the #sketchbook #penandink #graphite #moleskine #weirdart #fantasyart #darkart

Some fun with a #compassandruler

I should get back to doing these ruin pieces. I really enjoyed the process and liked where it was going although sometimes you need to let some concepts mature or develop in the mental background while you work on other things. #acrylic #painting #fantasyart #visionaryart #visionary #landscapes

Castle Drachenfels is the scariest place in Warhammer's Old World, and my video this week is all about it!

Come take a trip with me to the most regrettable AirBNB in history!
