I was recently at the National Gallery in London and saw these two paintings of Saint George and the Dragon. Unfortunately I didn’t record when or by whom they were done. But check it out, they can be arranged in sequence. ACT I, The Charge: ACT II, Lance In, Sword Out: In addition to depicting… Read more »
The Island of Dr. Matango
Finally watched them together. It was good, not great. Cool, but not epic.
It’s Quiet
Last year I made it to number 11 in the final round of Tenkar’s Tavern’s OSR Superstar Competition. That being a thing long over-and-done I thought I’d release my entries into the wild. So, here.

If you’re gonna have one … … you gotta have the other.

Unrelated cool things happening at the same time
Just went to Rx Comics and picked up last month’s issue (#6) of Zombies vs Robots. No relation to Reaper’s Bones 3. I’m pretty sure anyway. Cool how stuff I like doubles up sometimes.
