Aged Paper Tutorial

I get asked a lot about how I age paper for my maps & props, so I thought I'd put together a tutorial video on it.  It's a bit longer than I intended but I think it's well worth it as I get to address a lot of the common questions about aging paper and what materials I use.  

More videos like these will be coming in the next few weeks!  Please let me know if you'd like me to m...

Neverland WIP

One of the things I love about creating fantasy maps is how you have a lot of freedom to be creative even within a given set of parameters.

Not everything works out...

So I'm thinking to change from the wood to paper. I've tinkered with pyrography on paper a few times but never gave it a great deal of thought because wood allows for a much more finished product.

Handcrafted Pyrography Greeting Cards

I'm trying to decide how I want to make my pyro cards and have been tinkering with several designs. Although they will all be different with added touches depending on the design, I think I've got a better idea of how I'd like to assemble them.

Incendi inspiration

The Incendi Series concept came from a dream similar to the opening text of the story. It ended before we could decipher the marks or know who the beings of light were. I wrote a rough draft of the first chapter and a brief outline of the story within an hour of waking up.
