Did you know Serpentus can be read as either a standalone/intro to my Relics of War series, OR as a supplement to it?

It's one of my favorite things I've ever written (despite its darkness.)

Only out two days, and "The Wild Hunt" is already a bestseller with a five star review! Maybe you should check out this Christmas horror story yourself and see if it's any good.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #rock. A Rock Wren on a rock seems fitting.

I enjoy an unhinged, disaster protagonist so this one is a bit of a challenge because I'm not sure I'd want to hang out with them in real life, so I'm gonna pick Eudora from Inheriting Her Ghosts by @pippinacious.bsky.social. She's a level-headed heroine and has 2 wonderful loyal canine companions!

Happy #WorldJellyfishDay!

I've drawn quite a few jellyfish in my time. Their relatively simple and distinctive shape make them an ideal subject for the beginner artist. As you improve, you can tackle the wider variety of color and form. Here is a fantastical one 🪼

Some bird species show up more in my art than others. Here is another collection of paintings I have made during the last few years, this time of the magnificent and mysteious raven. Paintings with this bird naver stay long on the shelf. 😊
These are made in watercolour and in acrylics.
