A month ago I whined about one of my most popular creations and then scuttled back into the corner. Today I added something new to Instagram for the first time in a very long while, yet it was a custom request. Yes, folks, this is definitely what a slump looks like. I’d like to say that the...

Behold my The Shining-inspired Overlook Hotel ceramic mug. It’s probably the most popular thing I have ever offered in my shop. Orders of it have even exceeded direct orders of the Darrow Pack. I absolutely hate this mug. Don’t get me wrong, I will continue to offer the Overlook Hotel mug as...

Sure, just about 90% of the stuff I pump out is bookish-related, but there are some aspects of the great work I get to do that I don’t share very often just because it isn’t very germane to about 90% of my audience. One of the greatest things I get to do is help create and cut stencils for one of...

I had spent many years building up the 23rd Legion without really knowing what I wanted to do with it. The first thought was to pull together a collective of creatives and see where that went. That went pretty much nowhere. Since I have a history of helping online communities get their feet, the...
