6/20/08 OMG! I am actually blogging twice in the same month!

It is amazing what can happen when you put your schedule on a calendar and then occasionally look at it to see what the heck you are supposed to be doing... lol.

So: a quick update:

Just had to crank through some stuff for Goodman Games... a mega-quickie job: I got the work order late Tuesday, and had to have them all in by this Friday (today). Lucky for me I don't sleep and have nothing but coffee and iced tea in my veins...lol. Sent the last final about 3 o'clock Friday morning... about a 48-hour turnaround for 5 illustrations.

I just finished a cover for Magique Productions, too, and will be starting on more DCC stuff for Goodman in a couple of weeks.

Not much else going on, but we are going to start having regular updates for the Haiiiii-Ya! page starting this weekend... so keep an eye out there for all sorts of goofiness.

See you in two weeks!

6/6/08 a long overdue update... lol..

Yish. How time flies. and I was promising to do better on the blogfront. Sorry.. the past several months have been eaten up by trying to finish Haiiiii-Ya!, work on Stained, a couple other possible games (including a VERY darkly humorous card game), trying to keep up on my freelance artwork, work a real-world job, and still have time to eat sleep, and spend at least some time having a family.

However: Haiiiii-Ya! is at the printers, and looks good, IMHO. Jess and I about killed ourselves learning Adobe InDesign and graphic-designing the book to death... all the while I was busily adding illustrations and new text to make it even funnier than it started at.

Stained is on hold, but I plan on starting to crank on it again as soon as possible... I have some new ideas for the haunted city of LaCroix that are begging to be written.

Freelance news:

2008 started off slow, but I have still kept myself fairly busy...

I have several pieces in the new Shadowrun book from Catalyst Games Lab, Ghost Cartels, as well as several in the new Ars Magica book from Atlas Games, Realms of Power: Magic.

I have also done covers for Twin Blade Games' Sen So series of board games, another for a new company, Barritaria Games, as well as one for Louis J. Porter Designs.. a REALLY big Dragon, which I hope to be able to show off soon.

I have also done some flag designs for a new company in England, Tylorva Games, which has a cool political dark-fantasy game coming out at the end of the year.

Finally, (almost) I am doing a lot of art for Adventures in Oz, a new RPG set in (as you can probably guess) the world of the Wizard of Oz, some sci-fi stuff for Tabletop Adventures (Derelict Starships), and new X-Crawl art for Goodman Games! Whew... and I was thinking 2008 was going to be slow!

I promise to try to blog with less than a 9 month gap next time!
