    How about some nice monsters and warriors for a Friday diversion? J.P.

    I usually don’t write about artists whose online work is watermarked, as it often makes the display of the work pointless, but if the watermarking doesn’t deface the art too dramatically, and the artist is interesting enough, I’ll make exceptions.
