Trying some design ideas for Freedom. This is Fort Burgoyne, the main headquarters of the British Army and Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne in Boston. It is situated atop the Boston Common and has a 360 degree view of the rebellious city. It is the largest, most well-fortified fort in the British Empire, and is also where [...]

Just some character concept sketches for Francis Marion, a player in Freedom.

There’s this really great card game called 45′s that I haven’t played since I was in High School. It’s a game of the Merrimac Valley. I’m not sure if it was born here, but I certainly have never seen it played anywhere but here. Funny, because it is a really great game, up there with [...]

Just got a new, quite large, watercolor moleskine for my birfdee though, so I’m endeavoring to do more of the observational sketching that’s in me blood. The first page of a sketchbook should never be a masterpiece, [...]

We’ve been talking about this for a while, Liz and I. I can’t quite remember how it all came about, but somehow we decided we were going to one day have a farm, with all the animals and babies included. I drew a picture of it for her birthday, and am now sharing it with [...]
