Ostensible Cat

It's been a while I know but yes, I'm still around.  I've been focusing the bulk of my efforts on honing my technical skills tackling penguins and pythons rather than dragons and the like.  It has been all consuming as I'm preparing for Team Bingham's next adventure.  Lots of things in the works that have kept me from the drawing and gaming table.  But in the end, it will be well worth it.  At any rate, I just wanted to toss up a piece of art that I'd done not too long ago.  It's been a while since I've painted and I'm pretty happy with this tribute to David Sutherland.  I commissioned some art from Steve Zeizer for Delve II which I just have to get around to finishing it up.  It is in the home stretch and I just need to finish off a bit about quasi-lycanthropes.  Steve did some excellent work that really captured my vision.  It was really fun to see someone else's take on my writing.  Definitely bit of a switch up and I look forwar...

Merry Christmas, Yuletide greetings, happy Festivus... whatever you celebrate (or don't) I wish you the best this holiday season.  As for me, it's been rather trying in terms of the day job.  And the hunt has begun for the next adventure for Team Bingham (which will unfortunately require us to leave Italy - our home for the past 6 1/2 years) but we've got other plans in the works...  At any rate, while I've been working at honing my tech skills for the job search, I've also been squeezing in some art time.  Here's the latest that I did for Joe Browning over at Expeditious Retreat Press for an upcoming project. 

OK, yeah, So I've been really busy slaving away at the day job and then staying up past my bed time trying to fit in some artwork ;).  Actually these pieces are a few months old but still wanted to share them because they were a heck of a lot of fun to do, and it's almost Christmas and you need a new adventure for your group right?  Here's the latest from one of my favorite companies, Expeditious Retreat Press and the OSRIC adventure Lost Lair of Drecallis!!

Well, well well, the cat came back.  I've been busy with a lot of things lately and unfortunately that has precluded me from blogging.  However, I just received my copy of the Adventures Dark and Deep bestiary by BRW game/Joseph Bloch.  Man o man is it ever cool.  And as usual, my art is the least of the coolness that is this book.  If you haven't hear about it, then go here to find out more.  At any rate, here's a peek at some of my art inside.  I told you I was busy didn't I?

I haven't posted much art lately (or anything else). That's not to say I haven't been doing any. I have actually done a ton of art over the past couple of months (maybe around 40 pieces or so) that I can't share just yet. I've also been working on some techie skills in anticipation of a major life change (which I also can't share just yet).  Here's my latest for as yet unannounced project with Expeditious Retreat Press.    

Wow, I just checked that I haven't blogged in about a month and a half.  I say it half jokingly but it was a bit of a cruel summer with my grandfather's passing and a lot of family drama surrounding that.  I've been very busy with the day job trying to sharpen my technical skill sets ahead of a possible career move (I forgot how much I really enjoy programming).  And I've done a ton of artwork this summer (can't show much yet since the finished products have not yet been released.  Autarch's Domains at War and Joseph Bloch's Adventures Dark and Deep Bestiary top that list so look out for those.  I've also had inquiries from others about more possible projects along with some of my own.  Delve issue 2 is very near completion.  I have a few more commissions to get to first though.  But I did want to share some original art that I did for Ronald Redmond for helping me proof Lost Lair of the Lizard Laird.  

Here's one I was going to do in Adventures Dark and Deep but I felt that I kinda blew the description so I didn't submit it.  However, I like the piece so it's gonna be in Delve issue 2. Alright, I've got a ton of projects to work on including Delve 2 so Happy Gaming folks!
