…This time it’s personal!<\/p>\n

Like most anyone with an internet presence I will occasionally search my own name to see what comes up. Tucked in between the pages (and pages!) of card lists there’s the occasional mention in a forum (and it’s 50\/50 on whether the mention is complimentary) and once in a blue moon I find something really surprising.<\/p>\n

This would be one of those latter occasions because I found a picture I know is my handiwork, but have no recollection of ever painting. The shock was sufficient that when I first saw it my immediate reaction was “WTF?” rather than “oh hey, haven’t seen that in forever”.<\/p>\n

\"Madness!\"<\/p>\n

That’s the Lhurgoyf, carrying a Rocket Launcher (from Antiquities<\/em>) which seems to be powered by the Souls of the Damned (Ice Age<\/em>) while rampaging across a fields of skulls from Spoils of War (also Ice Age<\/em>). There also appears to be a Nevinyrral’s Disk in the background, and ole Lhurgy is wearing armor, but I have no idea which card that’s referencing. Maybe WTF was the correct response after all.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I got nothing. I suspect the image was painted for a Duelist article and I guess it was painted during a VERY busy time which is why I don’t remember it. Possibly as long ago as 1995.<\/p>\n

Gotta tell you it’s a weird feeling being (re)introduced to one of your own paintings.<\/p>\n

I wonder where the original painting is? If it’s in my studio, it’s really<\/em> well hidden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
