Ostensible Cat

Mostly at my drawing table finish up some artwork for Weird Adventures . It has been an absolute BLAST bringing to visual life some small corners of Trey Causey's awesome setting. Now with that wrapped up for the time being, I'm going to focus on some of my own projects as the clock ticks down to GENCON. Mostly, I'm going to prep some original art of sale (matted and mounted and ready for framing - if that's your thing!). Also, I've got to key the map for Isle of Maedsid and write it up. After that, on back to the Warrens of Polstrus Lev and Basalt Keep of Wilven the Yellow and in the future, Sinister Sightings at Dustchapel Downs as well as Shadow of the Umbra Palace!

I'm just about ready to wrap up some art for Peter Spahn at Small Niche Games and Joe & Suzi at Expeditious Retreat Press. After that I have a couple of more commissions and then I'll get back to work on my projects. I just picked up a cool book about explaining the higher dimensions and how creeatures from these dimensions would interact with our world. I fully plan on mining this stuff for Basalt Keep of Wilven the Yellow as well as my OSR "Adventure Path" that I've been pecking away at for quite some time. Well, time to get back to the drawing board!

OK, really it is only me here at Ostensible Cat, but sometimes with all the things I've got going on (not to mention the voices in my head, wait...what?) sometimes it feels like quite a production. At any rate, I wish you all a happy and prosperous 2011. I've got quite a few projects I want to see to completion this year so my first task will be to prioritize things. Looks like Basalt Keep of Wilven the Yellow and the Delve! boardgame will be at the top of the list. Then my campaign to include some house rules (but of course) as well as another adventure entitled Sinister Sightings at Dustchaple Downs. Actually, that last one is one I'd been working on and off for years. But I mean it this time! Oh yeah, let me know what you think of the new look. I'm also going to beg and plead with my lovely bride to help update my art portfolio web site. It's been well over a year since I've updated that site and it needs some attention (as well as a place to show som
