A few months ago I got to design the staff t-shirt for The Hobbit x MTG! I relished painting some of the pivotal characters and elements of the story. The stylization is inspired by Tolkien's own paintings, and I wanted it to look as though Bilbo had drawn these things in his book.

A stylized collection of images from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Featuring characters Smaug, Bilbo, Beorn, and Gollum, and artifacts like the One Ring, Thorin's Key, the Arkenstone, and Sting.

My daughter got a scary blood test result. We're in for a lifelong treatment plan for one of the coolest little kids ever. Life isn't fair sometimes, but I'm glad she's as tough and sweet as she is. Nothing will hold her back.

This is really just a test to see if my social media scheduler will send alt text. We'll see! But I'll probably leave it up, anyway. So check out this cool tattoo design!

I’ve been getting overly excited about the idea of physical media lately. Our collections on display used to be a way that someone could see our influences and interests when they came into our spaces. Plus, buying is owning when you can actually hold it in your hands.

I got super-nerdy and put together a catalogue of ink swatches for every color I own so I can design tattoos using real color palettes. Freakin' genius. I know.

My wife got me this cool shirt by @meganroseruiz.bsky.social for my birthday. Cucumbers are from our garden. They happened to be sitting on the counter next to the shirt and I thought they were appropriate.

I try not to chat too much about my family on social media because that's THEIR privacy. But I can't really hide how proud I am of my boy child for EXCELLING at martial arts. 🥋🤯 And I could use good vibes for my girl child, who is having health issues and may need to go on homebound schooling. 😩

I...am excited about stuff that I'm doing on my website right now. Lots of cleanup of the little rarely-visited corners, but getting my booking calendar moved to something Wordpress native is exciting AF to me. Especially since it integrates w/my CRM. I am a nerdy tattooer. 😅

Just watched a video that challenged me to stop thinking of my sketchbooks as a collection of random sketches...and instead think of it as a BOOK of sketches -- with design in mind. Challenge accepted.

Is it strange that I'd rather browse a thesaurus hunting for the perfect word than use "AI" to write for me? I feel like one of these choices expands my knowledge, while the other robs me of the chance to grow.

On AI -- if your poster/cover is AI, I will assume the product is. And if you didn't care enough to actually create it, I don't care enough to use/read/watch/consume it.

It's my birthday today! ✨ Honestly no special wishes this year - I've been taking things slow while low on energy so there's fewer personal art this year. But what I did draw I love dearly so feel free to share! Dana and Niamh will appreciate you doing so! 😤 #art | #ocsky

Illustration of Dana (a pale, dark haired female elf) with a tiny opossum Malik on her shoulder, a black raven flying next to the two.
She's smirking, light reflected in her eyes. The scene is illuminated like in flash photography
Dana is wearing a white shirt with red trimmings, sleeves pulled up showing red tattoos on her forearms, brown pants, two leather belts with gold details and a matching bracelet with a big red gem.
She's leaning on a tree, the background behind her is a dark dead forest. The There's a decorative border around the background, in the style of her tattoos.

dark urge tiefling Niamh is holding a tray of bloody skulls. her gaze is blank, distant, her eyes bloodshot white - something's not quite right.

behind her is a dark eclipse and bhaal's teardrop halo frames her face

my dark urge tiefling Niamh in the style of Hades 2. she's wearing regal bhaalist clothing inspired by the game's aesthetic, lots of reds and whites with gold trims and skull decor. she's smirking, holding a dagger, long hair and cloak flowing in the wind

Time to make my #BloodOath offering for the week. 😅 I had a lot of fun working on this one. I'm actually posting here before I publish it to my website, because time got away from me today, but the oath must be fulfilled. #Art #Artist #FantasyArt #HorrorArt #D&D #TTRPGArt #Illustration

Monster (in the Mirror):

A beautiful young woman with dark hair, freckles, and blue eyes is looking at the viewer, standing in front of a broken mirror with an art nouveau styled frame. Her reflection in the mirror has more severe features and pale skin, it is looking over its shoulder and also looking at the viewer with a smile on its face.
