Ragonia - The journey so far...
A fine and dandy greeting to you, patrons and followers. Thank you for gazing upon my internet musings yet again. I hope this bloggy post finds you well upon this day.I'm writing up my 2024 Year in Review, and tried to start it out with a look back on the years thus far, with links back to previous year's Year in Review posts.But it turns out I've been working as an illustrator and posting on Patreon now for sevenyears. And the overall recap ends up being about as long as the yearly ...
Catan Winner’s Log Download
Heck speaking of unnecessarily complicated things I made for my own artistic satisfaction: here’s a Settler’s of Catan Winner’s Log I made so me and my family can keep track of who’s the best at Catan. I printed it out on cardstock and keep it in our game box. Now you can too!Attached here! Hope you like it!
Unnecessarily Ornate Month Labels
Happy new year, patrons! I hope you had a cozy and safe holiday season.I just spent an unnecessarily long amount of time preparing the next few month’s labels for our fridge dry-erase calendar. So I thought I’d share them with y’all so that someone else might use them too.Download em, print em out, cut em out, glue em in your planner or your diary or tape them to the top of your dry erase. Crop them and put them in your fancy computer planner software. Maybe tape it to your forehead to cel...

A new Wizard Frog

Hello from Portland 👋
Hello Dear Supporters-o’-mine, I hope you’re doing well! It’s been a while since I shared directly to the Patreon, so thank you so much for being here. I have some exciting updates about what’s happened in the last few months.Most significantly, Zach, Pumpkin and I packed up our apartment in a U-haul and moved three hours down I-5 from Seattle to Portland, Oregon. We’d been considering it for a few years, but all at once during a spring visit we stumbled upon an apartment we both liked...
🛸👻 Space Ghost Thank You Sticker! 👻🛸
Hi Patrons! I’m so sorry I’ve been ghostingthe Patreon lately. To say thank you for your continued support I decided to make you a thank you sticker and mail it to any of my current Patrons and Discord subscribers who want one.🛸 Note: if you’re a new $5 or $15 Patron in February I’ll also mail you one if you want! It just has to be $5 since they’ll cost more than $5 to make and mail. Existing $2 patrons are welcome to one, since you’ve supported me longer. Does that make sense? Th...
