    1. I have added you Micheal but I have put in a more vertical image than the ones you linked to as those wide horizontal images don't show up to best effect in the blogger format. I hope that's ok.

  18. I'm flattered to be part of your collection, thank you!

    You can put my surname Puerta if you want to, it has been made public several times and I think that eventually I'll add it to my blogs.

    About my recent involvement with OSR projects, I'm one of the illustrators of a thematic bestiary set in a world of floating islands called "Criaturas del Vacío Celeste" "Creatures of the Celestial Void"

    You can see more here, but it is only in Spanish.
