The Skaploony Bin

Just your friendly neighborhood sci-fi / video game geek. I draw stuff, and stuff. I also go by "FountainKeeper" on YouTube, where I play piano by-ear. Don't hesitate to Ask Me Anything (movies, TV, games, anime, books, art, music, you name it!)

My current setup.

A quick sketch... I think some of us can agree on this.

Recently I had my first live stream in over three years! On top of that, I'm starting to record for YouTube again with plans to put albums up on Loudr! Now that I have my new piano, I'm glad things are finally coming back together after so long. I’ve really missed being in the game, and this time I intend to stay.

There will be plenty more streams to come, so in the meantime while new YouTube videos are waiting to come out, come follow me on Twitch!

Thank you all for all the new subscriptions and views that I’ve accumulated while I’ve been away, and to those who’ve stuck with me since as early as ‘09. The lot of you are AWESOME! :D

Fountainkeeper’s on Twitch!

After THREE YEARS of being MIA, I’m FINALLY coming back to doing piano on the internets! To get back on my feet, I’m going to be doing some live streaming on Twitch. Come check me out on October 2nd starting at 5PM PST! What’ll I be playing? Video game music, of course!

Gotta say, feels good to be back! :D

“Boos’ Booze” by skaploony

“Return to Zork” was one of the first PC adventure games I remember playing as a kid. So I went and designed a liquor label based on one of the game’s most memorable scenes.

Haven’t arted in a while. Warmed up with a selfie.

Blind Guardian with Grave Digger - Studio Seven - Seattle, WA - 11/17/2015

I waited in the hail to enter the building. My body was sore all over from the mosh pit, and it took a couple weeks for my back to recover...but I’d do it all again in a heartbeat!

Seeing Grave Digger was bloody amazing, and my second time seeing Blind Guardian in concert was nothing short of FREAKING MAGICAL! I don’t know how they did it, but they were EVEN BETTER than when they came in 2010. I already can’t wait for their return to Seattle, hopefully before the five or six years that Hansi teased about during the show :D

[skaploony]

Oh God, it’s November, I can’t wait!!

If you’re a follower of my YouTube piano persona Fountainkeeper, then you probably know that I’m pretty big on Blind Guardian. I’ll be seeing them for my second time along with Grave Digger in Seattle on the 17th. It’s been five long years since they were here, and I’ve been listening to their latest album on repeat, so I’m really excited for their triumphant return!

Perhaps I’ll see you there ;-)
