April's "pack" is my Tea Dragon Illustration! I have many pieces that I am proud of just sitting in my art folders waiting to have someone love them.

The cover of a black and white zine on a green textured paper background. In the background are carabiners, a headlamp, a journal, rope, and a map. The cover of the zine has the title Underneath and a large etching style illustration of a narrow cave chamber. A natural fountain springs up from the rock floor. Statues of dragons and lions and weird dogs all spit water across the chamber into each other's mouths intersecting with the single stream of water erupting from the natural fountain.
The cover of the game zine We Shall Be Monsters. The title is in an embellished black letter font in white over a black background with a low contrast image of a doctor standing over a dead body on a slab. The zine is displayed on textured paper with a silk handkerchief and a small saw next to it.
I am beyond thrilled to announce that TWO of my games have been nominated for Indie Groundbreaker Awards!

Can't believe we'll be starting Sketch-a-thon day FIVE here in less than an hour!
We'll be starting at 5 hours of stream already, with just another $18 to go before we hit the six hour limit of length per day. so anything beyond that will go to Day SIX!

Color illustration: two spacers sit atop a lifepod, half-buried in an alien beach. In the background, a flight of bird things erupt from a coral jungle. Beyond that, an enormous starfish creature walks by, a mangrove forests on its back. The text indicates that this is the intro to a database, intended to help the reader survive on the moon of Rill.

Print copies of DEATH CUT IN STONE have arrived! I'll figure out how to distribute them at some point in the future.
Also, if you asked for an ashcan copy MONTHS ago, you're still going to get one, and one of these as well. No promise on time, I hate going to the post office. But it'll happen.
In the words of a past therapist of mine: More than one thing can be true.
Love me a little adventure

The discipline of game design: fucking finish the thing
a poster that reads "Soot and Charms takes place in an alternate 1800's Boston" The Soot and charms words are placed in a ribbon with two folds. Over the second "O" in Boston is a original style Edison Lightbulb. At the bottom of the poster is text reading "Soot and Charms coming to Kickstarter"
a poster reading "A World of Wishes and Fae Deals" behind the text is a black illustration on a purple background that shows a figure in a long coat facing away from us, the figure has a hat on but two different types of horns poke out from the hat. The figure's right hand is out stretched towards a wall that is melting from stone into water-like waves.
Soot and Charms, our upcoming Kickstarter, is a game set in an alternate 1800's Boston, a world of wishes and Fae Deals.
This urban fantasy story is for people who love Mistborn, Shanghai Noon and the Dresden Files
