As you may or may not know, Jeff Dee has been running around trying to recreate the art he created that someone at TSR chose to toss in the trash one confused day. This time, he's recreating his stuff form the module S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. I'm excited. I love that module - and the fabulous art inside was really inspiring - well - inspiring to DMs who wanted to really confuse, mess over, and blow up the player characters. Like I said, inspiring.
He's got a Kickstarter project for the Peaks too. I love those Kickstarter things - especially those that help artists get projects off the ground. Go toss him some bucks and he'll even send you a print! :)

Ferrit by Angel
I had Angel Urena do another commission for me - this time of Ferrit, The Boy's first Labyrinth Lord character. I think he did an excellent job - and Ferrit the Hobbit now terrifies me. That's one bad-ass halfling!

Puttin' on the Ritz
Due to an overabundance of 20 hour workdays, there will be no Rather Gamey Comic this time around. I even had to bow out of a Realms of Cthulhu game last night so I could work until 4am. Grr. I'll be back on schedule next time - barring some unforeseen collapse of the financial industry.
In the meantime - please enjoy Soulvex performing 'Puttin' on the Ritz' for your amusement.

Chartreuse by Angel
Below is a commission of my character Chartreuse in Crazy-Ass Tim's Second Edition D&D Game by Angel Urena. He's the same guy who did the Angry Demon Looking Dude that I've used as a banner for the blog for over a year now. I think Angel's work is completely awesome - you can go check out his gallery on deviantArt.
Right now, Angel is doing character commissions for dirt cheap. I mean dirt. Go look. Quickly, of course, since who knows when he'll close down the commissions. If you've ever contemplated having a character drawn - now would be the time.
Again, not my art. Waaay too good to be mine. (Not Yet, Anyways!)

Hitchhiker's
Last week I was at the book store with my son. I was digging through some art books, looking for hints on how to draw the human form, when The Boy came up behind me.
"Can I get this?" he asked. I turned around. He was clutching a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
"Well for fuck's sake yes you can fucking have it," I replied. Okay, that's not exactly what I said, but that's what I meant.
Now, after a few days of The Boy regaling me with stories of Marvin the Paranoid Android and explaining to me the meaning of the number 42, I've decided that I'm pretty happy with the universe and - given the chance - I'd make it my home for a second time.

"Now the world has gone to bed
Darkness won't engulf my head
I can see by infra-red
How I hate the night
Now I lay me down to sleep
Try to count electric sheep
Sweet dream wishes you can keep
How I hate the night"

You Can Get Addicted To A Certain Kind of Sadness
No, not game related, but after listing to Gotye like a million times today, I had to do something. :)
