What's in the box?! 2016 Edition...

Looks like John Doe is up to his old tricks again and sent me a strange box that no doubt contains the head of a loved one... OR it might be something totally different and not creepy like in years past...  as in 2015, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010. With Gen Con happening next week I have a good guess at what this box could contain...

The unsuspecting cardboard box... what mysteries do you contain to tantalize or haunt us?

OH! It is the tubes of air I have been waiting for...

It is not tubes of air at all... but mighty stacks of books!

Getting ready for Gen Con 2012 - What's in the box?!

A couple of weeks ago a pair of strange boxes showed up at the house... what could they be? Could it be something for Gen Con next week? ...I say knowingly... Let's have a look at what awaits those attending Gen Con!

 You might remember there have been other boxes, one in 2011 and one in 2010.

 These boxes appear to be filled with plastic wrapped stacks of books! ...OH UH... They printed them upside down! OH NOES!

WAIT... wait, emergency averted, they appear to be corrected arranged after all, the box was constructed upside down...

HOLY CRAP! creatura libri 3, who would have ever imagined such a thing?!

 Just look at all those monsters! Page after page of monsters!

 Not just monsters created for myself either, but monsters created for Wizards of the Coast as well!

Don't forget creatura libri and creatura libri 2! Now there are THREE great ways to get 32 pages of drawings of my creatures, monsters and things with tentacles! That is over 90 pages of monster drawings in three handy collections!

HOLY COW! creatura libri 3 contains drawings as of yet unseen by anyone! I will have copies of creatura libri, creatura libri 2, and creatura libri 3 available at Gen Con. Please be aware that supplies will be limited for the first two books. As before, creatura libri 3 has space in the front so that I can personalize it with an original drawing if you so choose. If you are not attending Gen Con or Illuxcon this year you will have to be a little patient, but eventually copies of creatura libri 3 will be available to everyone.

If you are attending Gen Con, you can be the envy of your friends and enemies by being one of the first to own all three of my sketchbook! See you there!
