Picture of me at Cafe Du Monde
This is Diner Punks. You rely on siphoned gas, rusty steel, and rock n' roll to stay alive. In the Boomlands, the only way forward is full throttle.
A goofy looking purple guy who looks like he's from a Saturday morning cartoon from the 80s. He's adorable!
Mourtika the Skull Witch, in full color by Joshua LH Burnett!
Illustration of a sorceress with a skull brassiere. She holds up a hand; skulls hover above it, surrounded by crackling energy.
A pale vampire noble with pointy ears and long, flowing white hair, dressed in red armor and holding a spear.
A colorful illustration by Joshua LH Burnett of a beautiful woman the color of flames staring contemptuously at the viewer.
Colorful illustration of a giant frog with three eyes, horns, and a long tail. It is being worshipped by three figures in the foreground.
Illustration of The Face Taker by Joshua LH Burnett. He's a creepy guy with red hair wearing a cloak made of human faces.
A full-color illustration by Josh Burnett of a massive bearded man holding an even more massive sword. Seriously, this sword is freakin' HUGE.
Lord Horticrux!
A drawing by Joshua LH Burnett of a villain called the Face Taker, who has spikey red hair and evil grin. He wears a cloak made of human faces; the faces look unhappy, as though they are experiencing the torments of the damn. The Face Taker holds up his right hand, which burns with unholy energy.
This is a double-paged spread from the last issue of the comic book series The Invisibles, written by Grant Morrison and with art by Frank Quitely. There are a lot of words but they're hard to follow even if you've read every previous issue of the series so don't worry about them too much. There's also a cool shot of the five main characters posing and looking cool. The title of the issue is GLITTERDAMMERUNG!. There are also credits.
A red dot in a lighter red circle against a black background, AKA Barbelith
Lots of swirls and squiggles.
Screen shot of some of the sweet deals in my Etsy sale. There are three tree drawings, a heart, an alien sorcerer and more, most of them 25% off. Some as cheap as $11.50.
A screenshot of my Etsy shop, with 8 lovely drawings, 7 of which are now on sale for 25% off, and a big one that is on sale for $10 off. There are two thoughtful ladies, three robots, two trees, and a heart.
A screen shot of my Etsy shop, showing 8 different drawings for sale: Two lady's faces, three robots, two trees, and a heart.
A hand-drawn robot that looks sort of like the ones from the Gundam cartoons.
Screen shot from my Etsy shop, I drew a Transformer--not a real one, one I made up, but I didn't give him a name or anything--and now I'm selling the drawing for fifteen bucks.
Black and white drawing of a giant robot, so big it's got entire skyscrapers perched on its shoulders! Wow! There are also lots of fussy little details.
A scan of my tree drawing, which is black and white and squiggly. The canopy contains cartoony stars, a crescent moon, and other shapes.
This is me (middle aged white guy, glasses, beard) holding up my robot drawing to give a sense of scale.
Spooooky black and white drawing of mysterious figures in robes, standing underground amongst caves.
Lovely black-and-white illustration by Perplexing Ruins, lots of shades of gray, shows a giant mantis-cat creature smashing down with its foreleg, as the much smaller humans below try to fight it.
This is an ad I made on Publisher, don't judge too harshly I'm not a professional graphic designer, that says DARE YOU ENTER THE PRISON PITS OF LARUBIA at the top and then has a cool drawing by Perplexing Ruins of a mostly naked man, seen from behind, walking under a portcullis and into creepy darkness. Below it there's a QR code to take you to the Kickstarter campaign, and the following text: You’d heard that Larubia was a great city to visit, but somehow—surely it was all a misunderstanding!—you were arrested and sentenced to hard labor in the prison pits outside of town. Now you and your friends have no armor and no weapons, just the rags on your back and pickaxes for mining the mystery mineral phyrene.  As you descend into the prison pits you’ll face cannibal miners, killer insects, phyrene mutations, and more. Ultimately you may discover the long-lost subterranean kingdom of Eskragor, home to ancient automatons, high-tech ray guns, and a mad Emperor obsessed with invading the surface world.  The Prison Pits of Larubia is an Old School pulp sword & sorcery adventure designed for use with the Million-Colored Sun RPG, coming soon from Hex Games.
