Keeping with weird themes here's a really cool map of the Dreamlands done for Call of Cthulhu Games based on the writing of H.P. Lovecraft. I love maps and I love these stories. Very cool.
Here's a pencil sketch of girl in a hoodie summoning a demon plus other related scribbles. Between work I've been getting back into urban fantasy type stuff in a big way, both role playing games and books. I was worried it didn't suit my style at first but I really like this.
I'm pretty disappointed that I'll probably never have time to finish this one. My to do list keeps expanding and this keeps getting pushed to the bottom. Especially after I just spent the last four days sick which felt like an eternity. You never know, though. I'll keep it on file.
The last few days, as I said, I've been feeling pretty ill. No idea why. A case of Henry bringing bugs home from daycare, I think. I seem to be better. Hope so. I have an unfinished book cover waiting to be done sitting on my drawing desk. also, I'm in the unique, to me position of needing to make a certain amount of money to afford a train ticket to visit home. So stuff needs to get done, tired or not.
While sick I read comics and role playing manuals. I have to say, White Wolf's
Mage The Awakening books are compelling reading. At least as compelling as any urban fantasy books I've read recently. The also gave me weird dreams. Great, weird dreams.
A sketch I did of Atha. Not a lot to say this morning. We're feeding Henry and it's really windy and wet out. I'm off to play RPGs this afternoon. Plan to check out comic shop called The Hairy Tarantula. That's it.
I just received this old, old Dungeons & Dragons box set from eBay and it's awesome. I haven't owned this in ages and the sense of pure imagination and adventure in fantastic. Also very cool is that that someone had long ago tucked away a very nice map of a kingdom and a map of a dungeon. Great find.
Another favorite Dungeons & Dragons monster, the Bugbear. A great gobliny beast.
It's been an interesting week for me.
Top Shelf released its new website featuring Maddy Kettle quite prominently. This led to me being featured in really cool places like
here and
here. Also, the
Spectrum award has been in the nerd news a bit too, really great week.
Work wise, I just finished a couple of pieces for the upcoming
Steampunk Reloaded anthology as well as a
tarot card for SuperPunch, which is filled with amazing artists. You can check out my card
here. I'm also contributing a sword and sorcery short story to a new pulp magazine. More on that soon. And now I've moved on to book covers before returning to comics.
I'm planning to return to
Nova Scotia for a visit in the middle of April. I'm feeling a bit home sick and I miss the ocean. Before I go there are a couple of concerts I'd like to see, anyone interested in joining me? The first is indie folk harp player
Joanna Newsom at the Pheonix in Toronto on March 13th. The second is a
pagan heavy metal show headlined by Finntroll, and that's at the Opera House in Toronto on April 12th. Drop me a line if either shows sound interesting to you.
Another Dungeons & Dragons monster interpretation. I love to imagine him mumbling in some guttural language as he floats towards his victims.
Just finished two new drawings for the new Steampunk anthology. It was hard work because I love the first one so much I really pushed myself to do something up to the standards of the writing inside.
And I'm finishing up a tarot card today. More on that after the weekend.
My take on another AD&D monster.

I like a lot the atmosphery of those sketches. I'd love to see your sketchbooks. They must be magic.
Thanks so much Ben! The truth of the matter is that they're just laying around and my 2 year old keepss trying to draw in them.I can't think of higher praise then magical. It's what I aspire to.
Hey, that's really cu-- uh, neat!
there is no paper more valued to my son to draw on than the paper in my sketchbook. it is, to use ben's word, like magic to him.
Thanks Eddie! Cute's OK...
Awesome avatar brad!
Thanks Eric!
She looks very much like Julie. :o)
Beautiful piece!
