Full agree; obsolescence by design is maddening.

I got this guy the week that freaking Skyrim came out in 2011. I only had enough money for one or the other and I chose the tablet. For over a decade it was the foundation of my digital art no matter where I was or what I was up to. Rest well, my friend; you've earned it. #wacom #tablet #farewell

Stumbled upon a logo I made for a podcast last year; I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this one. I only had an hour or so to make the design, but it still tickles my brain that I managed to do the North/South thing with the type lockup. #logodesign #graphcdesign #compass

Thank you, friend Serpent. Like most art I think the creation process was its own reward but still pales in comparison to being able to share with the world.

This was truly one of my dream assignments. It's so amazing to be able to come full circle and contribute to one of the beloved games I grew up with. And with such a talented group of artists as well. Congratulations to everyone who worked on this amazing deck! 🖤 #dnd #ravenloft #tarokka #tarot #art

Your monthly dose of new James Art™ June: @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social I've been working with a lovely group of humans to develop the look and feel for a new TCG with an unapologetically retro 80s vibe. I got to make a lot of art for this game, but my favorite part was all the #graffiti. #tcg #art

TPKs in Ravenloft are about as close to ok as they get. Plus there's a better than average chance your party gets rezd as vampires or some such. 🤣

I worked on a thing! I've been a Ravenloft fanboy going way back. Novels, supplements, the Spellfire cards 😱; of course I also had a Tarokka deck. Contributing to the new Tarokka was the best. I even had one of my cards selected for marketing: shorturl.at/H4jyF #ravenloft #dnd #rpg #tarokka #osr

Your monthly dose of new James Art™ December: The Immigrant Song I'm currently working on a new series of artworks inspired by Norse mythology. While most of the images have roots in antiquity, I couldn't help making a tribute to one of the modern greats. #norse #viking #graphic #art #nordicart

Your monthly dose of new James Art™ October: Saint Schism It was an unexpected gift to find myself returning to this world after years away. Moving forward in a way that feels authentic to both past and present me is a real challenge, but worth the effort. I'm excited to know this story isn't over.

*cracks knuckles* The ink has washed out, leaving his skin tone absolutely necrotic. In contrast is a supremely blushed, almost featureless porcelain face, over rendered eyes, unnatural proportions and pose and you have yourself a one way trip to the uncanny valley with doll-lich as your tour guide.
