In keeping with our long-standing tradition, my lovely wife and I dined at the most romantic little spot in Saukville, WI.

Since Masters of the Universe is trending, I thought I'd re-share these fast, fun doodles of Skeletor and Trap Jaw. Plus a dumb Cobra Commander for funsies. #motu

2025 Paint Water Wrap-Up Featuring Highs, Lows, and Future Stuff

open.substack.com/pub/brauncow...

Check out my obligatory year in review wrap-up on my free subst4ck. L1nk in first comment.

Here's my Art vs Artist installment for 2025. State of the world aside, it was a pretty stressful and crappy year overall. Health problems on the homefront and sales were down at 99% of my shows. But I still managed to make some weird art. Here's to the ball rolling up in 2026! #artvsartist2025

I figure Halloween is a sensible time to show off this gouache portrait I recently painted of @stephenking in Pennywise makeup. My friend Steff owns this original as well as my "Caretaker" painting, shown displayed on the wall of her condo. 🖤

Solid weekend so far!

Gamehole Con day three. Nearly unalived by Zarak the half-orc assassin! Close call!

Someone just told me my art reminds her of Big Daddy Roth and I am very ok with that.

Come get your game on at Gamehole Con in Madison, WI! Then peruse the bustling dealer hall and artist alley! I’ll be here until 6 today and 10-4 tomorrow. Who knows what amazing shinies you’ll uncover? #gameholecon

Gamehole Day 2! More opportunities to play games after closing up my booth for the day. This time some DCC with Nick at Breaker Press Games. Two deaths. One was accidental but fortuitously timed. So much fun! I highly recommend Judge Nick!

Today I knocked out a quick spaceman zombie guy during a lull in Gamehole traffic.

Great first day at Gamehole Con in Madison! I even managed to get into a game of ShadowDark after closing up my art booth for the night. Pictured is my halfling thief making a break for the door as a massive battle breaks out.
