I worked on the dust jacket, board art and endpapers for Broken Binding's SF&F Subscription edition of Jesse Aragon's debut novel, The Demon Star.
A big many thanks to AD @petrikleo and Jesse for having me aboard on such a fun project!

Let me get this straight…
Sam Altman founded OpenAI as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”
Then he raised billions of dollars.
Then he closed the source code.
Then he converted to for-profit.
Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.
Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.
Now he’s saying “bad things need to happen for AI to move forward.”
He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s unleashing consequences from the technology that NO ONE asked for.
Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Red threads weave a hidden scheme.
Step into the game, tear through every illusion.
See you in the Wulin tomorrow at 7 PM PT!

Indie game devs are told to build communities before launch, but doing so risks exposing their games to AI clones. Even after release, they risk being copied before they can profit. We were told Ai will help the small guy... Instead it's hurting them too.

We're super excited to announce our next game, Magenta Down.
It's an atmospheric sci-fi adventure set on a harsh, remote exoplanet. Endure injury and radiation exposure with scarce supplies as you search for a way to save yourself and your crew. Coming in 2027.

- Eight levels and eight hours to save the world

Dark Sun is supposed to be a brutal world.
Slavery existing on Athas isn’t an endorsement of slavery. It’s part of what makes the sorcerer kings, templars and city states evil.
Fantasy doesn’t become morally better by removing evil from the setting. Sometimes evil needs to exist so the heroes have something worth fighting.
Free the slaves. Break the chains. Overthrow the tyrants.
That feels a lot more heroic than pretending the ugliness was never there.
