Fantastic worlds of artist Rob Kostelnik. Rob has been playing with clay and gaming most of his life. It took him until he was almost forty to realize he could combine them. Rob has been building a homebrew roleplaying and storytelling world since 2007 and has run adventures across many realms. Eventually he wants to release a system agnostic lore book to help new game masters run adventures.

Rob worked in multiple retail environments and became known for his book recommendations, causing him to start Book Gnome. Rob’s love of books was contagious, spreading stories to kids and adults with the hope of inspiring other readers to talk about their favorites. If you have been in a room with Rob longer than ten minutes you have most likely heard him talk about Name of the Wind, his go to favorite novel.

Loki’s Clayworks was a gallery Rob ran for over a year and is the ongoing name of his art business. His focus was in sculpture and ceramics, making many monsters. Ceramics have been a huge part of his art but now he dabbles in miniatures for gaming and display, modifying store bought figures and adding new bits and parts. Each project teaches him something new.
