I just updated Grendel’s Den Design Studio with a backlog of new artwork and design projects, including this new piece entitled DR. COGSWORTH AND THE CRYPT OF MYSTERY:

You can visit the Art section to take a look at the larger version, and the Store section to purchase an art print.

There’s also new websites like Orpheé, new branding and print designs for Time Warp, and a list of new art prints available in the GDDS store.

And there’s more projects in the pipeline almost ready to release into the wilds of the Internet, so be sure to check back.

G. D. Falksen of Tor.com wrote a fantastic article on my artwork as a part of their “December Belongs to Cthulhu”, a month long series relating to the Lovecraft Mythos. You should go and check it out, or the tentacled thing-that-cannot-be-described from Vhoorl will eat your brains.
