This is a strange post. I posted to Facebook earlier today on impulse a screenshot of my latest wallpaper titled, "Today’s wallpaper. Because I get bored easily". Here it is: I have dozens of folders with hundreds of wallpapers ranging from abstract to retro to fantasy. I haven't changed my desktop's for a while, but … Continue reading New Feature: Wallpaper Wednesday (Working Title)

My New Writing Instrument and a Wandering Muse Visits
You've probably noticed my posts have become less frequent this last week or so. You see, the thing is, I've run into some devastating computer troubles.

#Art of Fantasy 6: Adrian Smith
I do not know much about Adrian Smith. I only recently discovered his work after realizing that I've been seeing his art for a number of years without knowing that it was his. It's a mistake I have now remedied. His style is raw and savage and given that he has done numerous illustrations for Games Workshop, it is … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 6: Adrian Smith
