I'm just your boring average ex-account who wasted a lot of his youth playing fantasy RPGs (Role-Playing Games), specifically Dungeons & Dragons and Stormbringer/Elric, originally for outside Philadelphia PA who turned to computer graphics as an artistic outlet. I spent 30 years from the mid 80's to late 2012 living in Palm Beach County FL (North Palm Beach to be specific), working for not-for-profits in the social service and health care arena, but suffered a health crisis due to undiagnosed diabetes which had me in the hospital for 5 months, cost me part of my left foot, and has taken several years to recover from. I now live in Milford DE to be near family. My diabetes has left me with advanced renal disease, forced me to start dialysis, which I can fortunately do at home, but has me locked up for an hour four times a day (which allows me plenty of time to keep up on my gallery comments), but I still have a fair amount of independence and my health issues aren't nearly as bad or inconvenient as many others are. Most of my work is inspired by those fantasy RPG campaigns I wasted a lot of my youth on. I tend to post series of images with rather lengthy narratives that add up to short stories, or chapters in on-going tales. Thank you for your interest and attention!
Update:
Due to a very seriously broken ankle and shin I've been stuck in a wheelchair for over a year with an external fixator on my right leg, but I'm still managing to get by on my own.

That looks like so much fun to wear. I hope it helps. Will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks for your kind thoughts! Yeah... Its a real ball... as in ball and chain! However, once my leg heals from the surgery, I can supposedly put weight on it so I can get up out of the wheelchair for short distances.

That does not look like any kind of fun at all! If I saw them attaching this to my leg, I'd be telling them where the troops are, how many airplanes we have, and all kinds of stuff. Yikes!
Thoughts and prayers for you, and your quick recovery, my friend!

Thanks for your kind thoughts! I guess that's why they knock you out for the surgery, so you can't stop them mid way and tell them you changed your mind.

Wow !! It is really impressive, I wish you good luck and a lot of patience, I send you positive waves.
I don't receive notifications of my favorite artists' publications anymore, I hope I don't forget anyone.

Ouch, that looks bad, I hope that the procedure will also be of some use, I broke my left ankle (shin and fibula) in 2013, everything had healed well so far (despite the four screws), but unfortunately I can't still walk properly! I wish you all the best!

Thanks for your kind thoughts! I've been told they will likely have to fuse my ankle in the future, but for now I just hope this contraption lets it heal. Its been three months already and there's still no significant improvement. I can supposedly but weight on it now, but it hunts like heck when I do... hopefully it will easy up once I heal a little from the surgery. But it's a 10" wide x 15" long anchor that makes it really hard to do anything.

Ouch...MAJOR Ouch !!! Man, I am going to send some major good thoughts your way. You take care and heal.

Thanks for your kind thoughts... I can use all I can get! As for the ouch... it only hurts when I put my full weight on it, but then it hurts like heck.
