Gen Con 2026 THIS WEEK!

We are mere days away from the best four days in gaming! Gen Con 2026 will begin this coming Thursday in Indianapolis, IN, and will conclude on Sunday. You will find me at Art Show booth 86 with the whole of the Grand Bazaar and all of my monsters.

I hope to see you at Art Show booth 86!

I am in a slightly different area this year.
Head to the back left corner when facing the Art Show.

As mentioned last week, I will have the artist proofs of four cards I am nearly sold out of debuting at the show with color art on their backs. This includes the final two Ancient Carps and the final three proofs for the Shifting Shadow, Breaching Hippocamp, and FOIL Coverted Peacock. Once these are gone, they are gone forever.

Artist proofs for all your artist proof needs!

Lastly, as mentioned last week, I will be part of the FREE Rolling for Wisdom panel this coming Friday at Gen Con! I hope to see you there!

Come see me talk about what AI has done to me and my art!

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

Rolling for Wisdom Panel at Gen Con NEXT WEEK!

A week from today at Gen Con, I will be part of the panel, Rolling for Wisdom: Navigating AI's Impact on Tabletop Gaming! In addition to myself, the panelists will include Elizabeth Hargrave, Steve Hobbs, Justin Gary, and Brian Lewis. The short description: Industry leaders from design, publishing, and law gather for a civil, nuanced conversation about AI's impact on tabletop gaming — and how the community can shape what comes next.

Come see me on this panel next Friday at Gen Con! It is free to attend!

And the long description: What role should AI play in the games we design, publish, and love? Some see an existential threat to the artists and designers who make this industry what it is. Others see a tool that could expand creative possibility. Most fall in between, hungry for a conversation deeper than social media shouting. This panel isn't here to settle the debate. We're here to do something harder: have an honest, respectful conversation about a genuinely difficult issue, in front of a community that cares deeply about the outcome. Our goal is to set a tone. If we can show that people with different perspectives can sit at the same table, listen, and find common ground, we can lay the foundation for an industry initiative to develop humane best practices for how AI intersects with tabletop game creation. Panelists: Elizabeth Hargrave, Steve Hobbs, Justin Gary, Christopher Burdett, & Brian Lewis.

Make sure you come check out the final artist proofs for FOUR of my cards!

All this and a whole lot more will be at Art Show Booth 86!
I hope to see you in Indianapolis! 

That's all for another exciting week on the blog! See you back here on Monday! Until then...

Gen Con 2026 NEXT WEEK!

Next week will see the start of Gen Con 2026! The best four days in gaming will once more roll for initiative in Indianapolis, IN, this coming July 30 - August 2. I will be returning to the Art Show after missing last year due to a last-minute emergency (everyone is totally okay!).

I will have all my monsters and, of course, some surprises that I will be sharing with you throughout the week. We will be in a slightly different location than I have been previously. Typically, you will find us in the lower left quadrant near the out rows, but this year, you will find us way up in the upper right quadrant, one row in at table 86. In some ways, it should be easier for you to find us! I hope to see you in Indianapolis next week!

You can find the Grand Bazaar and more at Artist Alley table 86!

That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog. See you back here on Wednesday! Until then...
