Most recently, I work as an Art Director for Chaosium Games. I’ve been playing TTRPG’s since the 80’s and my art has been featured in Earthdawn, 13th Age, Trinity Continuum, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Curseborn and Pendragon. As an Art Director I actively commission artists for work and receive many portfolios and questions around how an artist can better improve their portfolio and chances of getting hired.

A wooden chopping block with some monster tentacles slithering over it, a human skeletal arm and hand resting on the block and a monster hunter's big knife resting atop. Text reads: The Great Monster Make Off 5: KiwiRPG Week Edition. Also includes logos for seroRPG and Kēmu Whakatau O Aotearoa #KiwiRPG
Adorable illustration of a raccoon holding a little lit candle. On either side of them is a large black bird and a cute little snakey snake. All three are watching the lit candle. Feels very cozy.
Beautifully shaded teal tones with some black, white and red. A Jacques Cousteau looking man looks wistfully off to the side, probably where the sea is, while a dark haired woman with this neat large hoop earring faces the other direction. There's some less detailed images like kelp, plantlife, a squid nomming on a skull, a sharkie and some fishes. Oh, and a submersible in the background. Text reads: Odyssey Aquatica - A Paragon Playset.
Minimalist drawing of a bright golden sun in front of the moon, which is in turn in front of a blue-coloured world. Text reads: whakawhitinga.
Cover for the TTRPG The Sprawl, by Hamish Cameron. Looking down onto a futuristic city with lines of bright light running between buildings and two people with weapons and future tech, likely hacking and heisting.
Cover for Lineages of the Long White Cloud Omnibus Edition. Beautiful drawing of a green-hued moth creature brandishing a radiant amulet.
Cover for the TTRPG Monster of the Week by Michael Sands. Picture of a giant insectoid monster that is fighting with a few hunters of different archetypal flavours.
