May I behold your beholder? 👁️ 👀 #dnd #dndart #rpgart #fantasyart
Digital illustration, no AI usage, of a classic Beholder with a snarling mouth and lashing tongue. Rendered in dramatic left to right blue-red lighting, the beholder sneers at the viewer with vivid yellow alien-like eyes from 10 intertwined stalks and one massive almond shaped central eye. Jagged yellowed teeth string drool thickly and potentially appealingly to more than one person's kink (power to you, it is kinda hot now that uh you mention it). Beneath this monstrosity is a shiny retro future rendered almost Synthwave/he-man chrome-fabulous text reading BEHOLD with little glimmer and flashes. It is against a flat full black background. Original art by Carl Huber available on stickers n stuff.

There was a book review, in a publication I receive, which the author did not find favorable (this was a voluntary submission for review), and wrote in to assert that he was confident of his novel's quality as evidenced by him having asked chatGPT if it was a good book. ChatGPT had obliged. 1/2

"Barring journalists from the White House because the president dislikes their reporting is a blatant violation of the First Amendment, and NPR condemns it without qualification." NPR's statement on the freedom of press against a sitting tyrant is important www.npr.org/2026/09/20/g...

Statement on White House bans from Thomas Evans, NPR's Editor in Chief

Barring journalists from the White House because the president dislikes their reporting is a blatant violation of the First Amendment, and NPR condemns it without qualification. The American public has a right to know what its government is doing in its name — not only the coverage a president finds flattering, but the full and accurate account of the use of power and public resources. That right belongs to the public, and it is not the president's to revoke. The press, and specifically public media, exists to conduct that accounting to every American, in every community, in service to the public interest. NPR and our Member stations will continue to uphold these First Amendment rights, and to stand with any news organization targeted for its reporting.

The Princess Donut Bride is a clever mashup of the Princess Bride and Dungeon Crawler Carl. Princess Donut sits at the top of the hill and Carl tumbles down calling out "You will not break meeeee" in place of Wesley's as you wish.
A graphic and iconic statement of rebellion. You will not break me! The dungeon crawler Carl design has bold shapes that resemble stained glass and the famous spiky gauntlet flicked by the famous phrase. Princess donuts tiara is at the top and Carl's boxers are below the gauntlet. Above all of this, it reads dungeon and below it reads crawlers.

These are now available on shirts for all sizes! www.teepublic.com/user/carlhuber Along with DOZENS of more awesome nerdy designs in my TeePublic shop. Also the ONLY PRINCESS BRIDE & DCC mashup I've seen! #dcc #princessdonut #crawlercarl #dungeoncrawler #dungeoncrawlercarl #princessbride
 As you wish. Or, perhaps more appropriately: YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME. This mashup throws Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Princess Bride into the same gloriously ridiculous dungeon. Princess Donut takes center stage atop the Cliffs of Insanity while a succession of tiny Carl-shaped figures tumbles downward through one of the most iconic visual jokes in fantasy cinema. The typography completes the crossover, transforming the familiar Princess Bride composition into a love letter to two fandoms built on adventure, absurdity, danger, and endlessly quotable characters. Bright, weird, romantic, defiant, and immediately recognizable from across the room, this is exactly the kind of design that makes the right nerd stop mid-conversation and say, “Wait  YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME. Carl, stripped down to the essentials and still somehow looking like a complete nightmare for the dungeon's management, stands beneath the crown and declaration of the Princess Donut era. The bold stained-glass treatment turns one of Dungeon Crawler Carl's most iconic attitudes into a wearable crest: Donut's pink-and-yellow glory above, Carl's infamous heart-covered boxers front and center, and one very familiar promise wrapped around the whole thing. Bright, ridiculous, defiant, and immediately recognizable to anyone who knows exactly why “YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME” hits harder than it has any right to. Perfect for a T-shirt, sticker, or the sort of merch that makes another Crawler across the room stop, point, and say Absolutely. Based on your actual TeePublic shop and its wonderfully unapologetic nerd range:

Welcome to Natural 20 Shirts, the TeePublic shop of designer and illustrator Carl Huber. This is a collection built for people who take their fandoms seriously without taking themselves too seriously: tabletop RPGs, Dungeons & Dragons, board games, science fiction, pop culture, retro nostalgia, wordplay, weird humor, and the occasional beautifully specific joke that makes exactly the right person point at your shirt and say, “WAIT, I get that.”

With more than 170 designs, the shop ranges from deep-cut gamer references and fantasy archetypes to science, cartoons, retro culture, and proudly nerdy visual nonsense. Expect bold graphic design, illustration, puns, clever mashups, and designs made by someone who is very much part of the communities he's designing for.

Come browse. Roll perception. Critically succeed. You may find something you didn't know you needed to wear.
