May 17, 2018: Dark Matter Episode 401 – Act 1!
I experienced a range of emotions upon hearing of Dark Matter's surprising cancellation: disbelief, anger, sadness, and a lot of frustration at the thought of leaving this story incomplete.

March 12, 2018: Ships of Stargate: SG-1!
Every so often, I get requests for concept work and designs related to the various ships featured on Stargate.
