Catacombs of Paris

I am still getting my feet under me from our recent vacation. We spent five days in Paris, France and six days in Florence, Italy. A truly amazing time and I have MANY images to share on the blog in the fullness of time. I have much to catch up on and much to do in general right now, so a photo dump is a little low on my priority list. That said, I have for you some images from the Catacombs of Paris. We took a small group guided tour of the catacombs and it was amazing. We got to see some areas that were generally off limits to most visitors and our guide was very knowledgeable and she had a ton of amazing stories and information to share with us. It was a highlight of our trip. If you are visiting Paris be sure to book a tour in advance! Without further adieu, here is a glimpse of the Catacombs of Paris...

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

Gen Con 2013… the journey begins!

On our way to Gen Con!

Driving has made things a lot different so far this year. We are able to bring so much more… and boy have we… but I then have had to drive through Atlanta. Flying through Atlanta is always an easier experience compared to driving through it. Miss your exit in 70 mph traffic? Why not stop suddenly and turn slowly… what is the worst that can happen?!

Driving allowed us to the pleasant treat to stay with Sam Flegal and family. Much sushi was had! Our visit has definitely made the trip up north to Indianapolis way more enjoyable. We have a bit more driving ahead of us and then set up our journey to Gen Con is almost done. …but more on this soon.

Here are some images from the days travels…

I miss the time when the quality of the restaurant or hotel was based on the size of the rocket out front.

The perfect keepsake to remember my trip to Gen Con 2013?

Meanwhile in Atlanta…

I will always carry a torch for Hotlanta.

Some of Sam Flegal's skull pets.

More skull pets… they all say, "RAWR!"

P'an Ku appeared at dinner and commanded me to eat ALL the sushi…

That is all for another exciting Wednesday, see you at Gen Con! Until then...

Alligator Skull

I have become the proud owner of a beautiful alligator skull and I would like to share some images of it on the blog to spread the usefulness of this great reference item. I very much would like to thank Melissa Findley for such an amazing gift! Her father has recently taken up taxidermy and she and I have already begun to benefit from his new hobby.

I hope you can find the photos helpful! RAWR!

That is all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog, see you back here on Friday! Until then...

Recent reference images...

It is one of those days... weeks... AND months. I have some great questions from readers I need to answer... well, I need to make the time to answer them and get together the content associated with them. I have new work coming out soon... but I am still waiting. I have been super busy drawing and painting lately... on work I won't be able to share for a while.

What I am getting at with all this rambling? As the year comes to a close it can get a little hard to stay on top of everything, especially this ole blog that gets updated thrice weekly. The backlog of already written and created content is running on empty and there can be a bit of a scramble to keep up with things here. Looking at the blog this morning I just didn't know what I wanted to do with it so I decided to share some recent monster... er, I mean animal reference I gathered over the weekend at the local natural history and historical museum. I hope you find them as helpful as I do! Enjoy...
