This picture is a gift for my Mom 24 years in the making. Let me tell you a story.
When I was 5 years old, it was the first Halloween where I got to choose what I wanted to be. My mom asked me what I wanted to choose.
I told her I wanted to be a bearsnake.
She told me bearsnakes didn't exist, to which I replied, "Well, it should. Let's make one then."
She spent days mapping out, sketching, and ultimating sewing the costume. And even with my silly small tweaks (such as when she gave it the body of a snake I told her it was imperative the bear was the body), she persisted.
It gave me my first ever Halloween costume: something I had brought to life from a vision I had. She spent days of time and effort bringing this thing to life. This tireless creative work is a trait I learned from her.
From there on, the Bearsnake became a thing between me and her. Kind of a symbol of my creativity and personality for me, and the hard work she always put in.
I didn't know how I could ever repay her for this.
Flash forward 25 years.
There's this Magic set I'm working on called Mystery Booster. It has these 121 playtest cards - cards that look like they're handdrawn cards, with wild abilities and names - and I'm leading the design of them.
It's a project that I poured many, many days of effort into. It took a ton of effort to get this thing made. It was a product I had a vision for, and worked to bring to life from start to finish.
My childhood imagination. My mother's work. In Magic card form.
And I put a little something in there that was personal. Something special. I created Magic's first, and only, Bear Snake. And to really make it more incredible... I got to draw the ridiculous sketch artwork too.
Truly an amalgamation of my life so far.
The set debuted back in November, but I didn't tell her about this piece at all. And for Christmas, I got her a display piece with the whole saga.
The card I designed and drew.
The original sketches and artwork for the card.
And, of course, a picture of me in the foundational bearsnake costume that started it all.
I love you, mom. Thanks for everything over the years and helping make me who I am today. Merry Christmas. ❤
Leavenworth is such a magical place. The fog, the mountains, the cute mock bavarian town - it gets me every time. This state is so wonderful!❤ . #leavenworth #seattle #washington #bavarian #outdoors #fog #mountains (at Leavenworth, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6MpJaznOzi/?igshid=mrl78nrurcgw

FUCKING EXCUSE ME WHAT ARE WE DOING
That moment when you show up as a meme in someone else's Tumblr post. :)
Okay, one more Tokyo post: during my layover, I visited @tokyomtg, a great Magic store in Japan that has an incredible collection of original artwork. As someone who works on making the game, it is so cool to see these excellent pieces up close and on display! . . #tokyo #japan #mtg #magic #travel #art #wotcstaff (at Tokyo MTG) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwLLKQSHFrG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fk1umlqgnx0k
Me and the Professor chat about Magic and answer some of the hard hitting questions. Check it out!
The salt ponds of Maras! (Which both sounds and looks like a Star Wars planet.) #peru #maras https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdbdfMnK6i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a6s4xc151n1m
I hiked to Machu Picchu! For the strenous, two-day hike that retraces the Inca's footsteps, my guide told me to bring only what was absolutely essential... butI couldn't help but make room for one tiny little exception.
5 ways #easterisland is like #breathofthewild: 1. Ruins of ancient, mysterious civilization EVERYWHERE. It's probably fine. 2. Lots of wild horses! Ridable? TBD. 3. You climb up high, then survey as far as you can see for where you want to go next. (Gliding not supported.) 4. Mean chickens. One stole my lunch! 5. Almost no online support. 🤐 #zelda #chile https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLfKLAnLog/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y1zs1z36zux8
Visited the Santiago Magic store Magic Sur yesterday! On top of a great playspace, nice decor, and knowledgeable staff, out of everything, the thing I most I just can't get over is how sweet this "Christmas Tree" is!
There are a lot of uses out there for the Magic card Assassin's Trophy, but this is perhaps the one that blew my mind the most.
That moment when you visit a store you said you'd come by to meet players and play, only to discover on the front door there's a poster advertising your appearance: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiDAS0BFmu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wdukfa5ce0x1
My latest surreal experience: working with @hitrecordjoe to create a video about Magic! It turns out he’s an old-school player… and has quite the collection. This is one of the best Magic videos we’ve ever made - JGL is amazing! Go watch: https://t.co/1lt3JboEQz
Came down to LA for just a day to help kick off a special Magic art exhibition at Galleries 1988! About 40 non-Magic artists interpreted Magic characters and story into their own style. And... IT'S SO COOL!
Stop by this weekend and check it out. Here's just a taste!
Is this... is this sign threatening me? 0_o #seattle #bothell https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwaM0dF5LL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fvarq7ob5ope
Played against @gavinverhey (Arcades) in round one and a guy named Sean (Raff). It was an intense match where Sean was at 1 life for a lot of it. Gavin and I threw some punches at each other before he knocked me out. Then Sean came out of nowhere with Lyra and Blackblade Reforged to win the round.
Check out one person's fun, short report of the Brawl Championship! :D
