NO Longer Attending Gen Con

Due to events beyond our control, we are no longer able to attend Gen Con this year. My deepest apologies to those planning on seeing me there. I would not be canceling unless it was absolutely necessary. My next appearance this year will be at IX in October, and I hope to see you there! In addition, I will be taking a brief pause on the blog and a bit of social media until the dust settles.

I will see you back here as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding! Until then...

GEN CON THIS WEEK! And the last surprise!

Gen Con 2025 is this week! Starting Thursday in Indianapolis, IN, are the best four days in gaming, and you will find me in the Gen Con Art Show all four days with my monsters and more! I have been sharing all the new things and surprises I will have with me at Gen Con this year, but with this final post before the convention, I have one more surprise. That last surprise, of course, would be MtG artist proofs!

Come find me at Gen Con Art Show table 50!

Near the front of the Art Show, you will find me and all my monsters!  

I have made the time to create some new Magic the Gathering artist proofs with original art on their backs. These are always popular, and I wanted to have some fun with them this time and not recreate the art on the cards' fronts, but instead draw and paint some things I wanted to. You will find characters from summer films, mutated turtles, pocket monsters, and dragons. Something for everyone! These scans do not do the cards justice, but have a look at what you will find at Gen Con 2025.

 Magic the Gathering Artist Proofs with original art on their backs!

Get yours at Gen Con, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

And as mentioned before, here are all the other new surprises I will have with me at Gen Con 2025, in addition to the whole of the Grand Bazaar and all the monsters held within.

The Mystery Print Bundles!

In each bundle, you will find three prints from my gaming work that are no longer available elsewhere. There is a high probability of finding a print with an original sketch in the bundles. There are also some bundles with a bonus fourth print and one bundle with a certificate to win an original drawing (You must return the certificate to me in person at a show to get the original drawing.)! 

Get yours at Gen Con, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

 

The Crest of Ethra stickers!

Get yours at Gen Con, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

If you are attending, I hope to see you at table 50 in the Gen Con Art Show!

That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog. I will see you back here after Gen Con! Until then...

New Monster Originals Coming to Gen Con!

With Gen Con next week, not only am I bringing my Mystery Print Bundles and NEW Ethra Crest stickers, debuting new art from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia, but I will also have with me some new monster originals! I will have at Gen Con three illustrations that are based on some of my favorite monsters. These pencil, ink, marker, and acrylic images are on 9x12 illustration board and come in two varieties: Beholder and Mind Flayer. After the attention a piece I did last year for a charity auction received, I decided it would be fun to make more pieces in the style. These were super fun to make and a nice break from my usual work. If these are well received, I might just have to make some more!

Gen Con 2025 - NEXT WEEK!

Gen Con 2025 begins next week! While the convention runs from July 31 - August 3rd, it starts earlier for those exhibiting. I have a travel day and a set-up day next week before the first person arrives at my table in the Art Show. I have a lot planned for the show in addition to all of the usual monsters and fiends that accompany me to shows. I will have many new secrets to share with you later this week through next Monday, but for now, I wanted to share where you can find me and one known surprise for the show.

Come find me at Gen Con Art Show table 50!

Near the front of the Art Show, you will find me and all my monsters!  

Already announced, I will have my Mystery Print Bundles with me at Gen Con for the first time! They were a hit at Pensacon and Infinity Con, and I am thrilled to bring them to Gen Con. In each bundle, you will find three prints from my gaming work that are no longer available elsewhere. There is a high probability of finding a print with an original sketch in the bundles. There are also some bundles with a bonus fourth print and one bundle with a certificate to win an original drawing (You must return the certificate to me in person at a show to get the original drawing.)! 

The Mystery Print Bundles!

Get yours at Gen Con next week, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

Speaking of drawings, here is a look at just a few of the many sketches that can be found on the borders of some of the prints. I did the math wrong, and now over half of the bundles have prints with sketches!

Are you feeling lucky? Will you find a bundle with an original sketch!?

 

Also already mentioned are my brand new Crest of Ethra stickers! They debuted at Infinity Con and now those attending Gen Con can get their hands on one of these as well. Proudly adorn your belongings and yourself with these vinyl stickers.
