So long and thanks for all the dice.

It has been 18 years since my first professional GenCon, and 2022 will be the last I attend as such. It has been a great adventure and very fulfilling, a place I had wanted to be at ever since I saw the first ad in a Dragon magazine. During my run there, I have met thousands of awesome folks and three jackasses. I have gotten to share my artwork, my costumes, and my game. There have been many ups and a few downs, as expected in any endeavor that you hold so close to your heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the show and everyone there who made it an awesome place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
