I haven't seen your art in a while outside of taking my kid to the bookstore. I heard you were revisiting Planescape from somewhere on the internets and thought I'd stop by. Nice work! It's fun to see these reimaginings, especially since I remember the originals so vividly. I hope you do more "fan art" stuff! P.S. You remember a loooong time ago when you said I sounded like a "frustrated artist?" Well, about three years ago I left database programming to work on video games, and actuallly did some concept work for my most recent project! I've always remembered those two words; so thank you for that. Hey Tony! I haven’t seen your art in a while outside of taking my kid to the bookstore.

I dunno if it comes through in the kinda art I can produce now, but this stuff easily sets a mark to strive for, both in it's ability to perfectly capture the feel of a particular setting or story as well as set the artist apart in his own way--you look through fantasy artists and the majority is pretty much one after another Frazetta or Vallejo imitator and then DiTerlizzi pops up and it's like--whoa! Heh, and now I'm having to scour the web to see if I can buy those few Planescape books that I hadn't been able to acquire over the years. They're honest-to-god treasures so far as I'm concerned, and I still pull the setting out for D&D games now and then, and don't ever plan on stopping. So now, like, I don't suppose you, Mr. Tony, can now come out and say "Just kidding about that 'nostalgia' stuff--this is for Planescape-does-4th Edition, baby!", by any chance?
