Side Standards

I'm in the Virgin Islands right now, and lemme tell ya, those left curves are ALARMING.



==========================================================




🚨 New Thing Reminder! 🚨




I didn't forget this week to remind you! Next next Tuesday (April 9th) we are launching a new game on Kickstarter: Power Vacuum! It's a game where you have to outmaneuver other anthropomorphic appliances to obtain absolute power by using...well, by playing cards, of course. 

We worked a lot on this one, and if you like trick-taking games like Hearts or Spades or Bridge but wished the cards were illustrated with whimiscally dystopian art by yours truly, then heck yeah it's for you!

You can follow the link above (or click the image) to learn more and stay tuned for when the game launches.

Okay, Happy Easter!

Your pal
Mal

It wasn't the first time Poland was acting the mischievous scamp, and it wouldn't be the last 🇮🇹 😝 🇵🇱

🚨 New Thing Alert! 🚨




Hello beloved reader - I've got a new game coming soon!

It's called Power Vacuum, and it's a trick-taking game (in the genre of Spades or Hearts if you've played those) set in a dystopian world of anthropomorphic household appliances in which you build a statue to your own greatness. It's coming to Kickstarter next month - click the banner or here for more info.

The game was designed by my pal Kaleb Wentzel-Fisher, published by me under my Keen Bean Studio imprint, and all the illustration and art direction is also by me! It was a great fun challenge to draw appliance-people in a Cold War setting - not what I am used to, that is for sure. Here's a sample of some art that appears on a card:


We launch in April so I will be mentioning it in emails over the next couple weeks.

Cheerio!

Your pal,
Mal
