Hello #portfolioday I do illustrations for weird fiction. I <3 illustrated books. Here is some art inspired by Arthur Machen.

repost for visbility.

For those of you already on the happy juice, if Anthony's graphs are too confusing, then the depths of Speers' scowl are an excellent indicator of how the count is going.

It's going well, and Speers is already surly.

Speers being talked over - always a good sign.

The dynamic between him and Tingle is well worth the cost of popcorn. Laura knows.

Another day, another render when I should be writing.

"Was this in your training, Clarice?"

#chthulhu, #fear, #Daz

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

How many days now have the spring rains brought this pleasing quiet? As always, I take up my writing brush and inkstone, and let my thoughts wander here and there. Living like a mountain rustic, what tales can I tell?

Roleplaying in the Cthuluscene

4 years in, and approaching final layout, I have finally realised what my 1920s CoC is about. Lovecraft's cosmicity *paralyses*. Sanity is only part of the equation. In the anthropocene, in a world of wicked problems, how might our tiny minds resist the Mythos?

1/3 So #TheCreator, now in cinemas. Pip and I saw it yesterday. Refreshingly different take from on increasingly exhausted subgenre. Terminator meets Apocalypse Now meets Kundun. China/Vietnam and the western taboo on communism slot in for fear of AI.

We use #tags, right? #cthulhu, #australia, #horror #art

Hello sky world. I have established a beachhead. Joy and wonder to all.
