Studio Space
Currently my studio space is the corner of my couch in my living room. I have a space in my garage, but I live in the Chicagoland area, so winters (9 months of the year) get awfully cold and that space is less than idea. At $150 an artwork, I can invest in building a climate controlled enclosure where I can have the space to create.
About
I am an artist that is consumed by a passion for crafting interesting things. Because I have had the privilege having my career path meander from print design to web design on to web development, which is by no means the stopping point, I get to craft both physical things and electronic things.

Hi, my name is Keith Senkowski and I am an illustrator, author, technologist and game designer. For over ten years I have been working on a project called Conspiracy of Shadows. It began as a tabletop role-playing game and eventually evolved into a multi-faceted art project.
The Plan
The intention of this Patreon is to support my continued work on this project. Your support helps me to purchase supplies, pay a few bills, and provide an incentive for me to maintain my level of productivity. The last item on that list is probably the most important to me as living a busy life with 3 kids makes scheduling time to work all the more important.
Posting Schedule
I am currently averaging around 4 works of art a month. This will fluctuate up and down as my other commitments (work, family, etc.) increase and decrease their demands on my time.
What to Expect
On a grand scale, Conspiracy of Shadows is about exploring the larger themes of truth, history and our perceptions of both. When the various works are combined, my goal is to have created physical artifacts that force you to question these things.
On the small scale, each individual component project is a distinct entity that stands on it's own (though it may serve many purposes). They vary in scope, from a singular work such as a family tree, to a series of works linked together to create a larger whole, such as the Tapestry Deck.
The Work
The following list of projects are what I am currently working on. Expect this list to grow over time.
The Tapestry Deck
The Tapestry Deck is a tarot deck designed to reflect the myths and cultures I have creates as a part of this project. It has 5 suits and a total of 70 cards. I will also write a hack for the solitaire RPG, Swords of the Skull-Takers specific to this tarot deck. $5+ supporters will receive physical cards in a unique wooden box hand decorated by me.
The Atlas
The Atlas is a series of maps and notations outlining the history of the world. The Atlas will appear in three volumes, one for each of the three ages of history. $5+ supporters will receive a poster print of the map.
