very excited to be included in the new issue of Arkitip. this issue is the first issue of the magazine to focus almost entirely on one artist (evan hecox). it focuses on his process (showing ref photos from trips to mexico) as well as showing new work. also in the issue they have 2 “guest” spots where myself and todd st. john each show 20 pages of work. the issue comes in a hand stamped envelope and also comes with a signed evan print.

Dungeons & Dragons Co-Creator Dies at 69
By EMILY FREDRIX – 2 hours ago
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) — A sad day for fans of role-playing games: The man who co-created Dungeons & Dragons is dead.
Gary Gygax died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva, Wis. His wife Gail says the 69-year-old had been suffering from health problems for several years.
Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly shaped dice eventually was turned into video games, books and movies. It’s considered the grandfather of fantasy role-playing games and has inspired legions of adoring fans. Gygax’s wife says he always enjoyed hearing from them.

while staying at a friends house in cali last week i was surprised as hell to see some of my artwork pop up on tv as part of the history channels “the universe” series. in the episode they talk about how the different kinds of art in a museum are like the different elements that make up the universe, or something like that. wasn’t sure where they were going with it but it was funny to see my shit on tv....
more in on the show here.
