I draw fantasy #art (and occasionally write stories). Magic and nature show up a lot.

Writing Tip:
There's a reason why Sherlock Holmes explains his deductions to Watson. If he didn't, we might assume that the writer is just making up deductions out of thin air. If you plan on making a super smart character, you still have to show your work.

Started reading Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries last night and I’m getting a really good cozy, winter fantasy vibe so far.

Every reader needs a high tower, quiet grove, or hidden corner where the world falls away and stories come alive.

Can’t believe this is unpopular opinion, but the twist at the end shouldn’t be announced before you read it. A gut punch is more surprising and hits harder when you don’t announce it first. Let readers be blindsided by the plot twist—I beg you. #Booksky

Hang on as best you can.
Take care of yourself.
Take care of others if you're able.
Sharpen your antlers, put on your best traveling cloak, disappear into the forest, and find other creatures like yourself gathering together in the gloom.

You folks are so good to me
This book by @aimeecozza.com arrived yesterday afternoon. I finished it this morning. It was beautiful start to finish. Reminiscent of the loveliest parts of the Asimov robot novels I grew up adoring so much. Highly recommended.
The Warm Machine: A sci-fi novella about robot love
A brand new novella! When a laborbot first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto his worksite, it's love at first sight.

THE WITCHING TREE (2019)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 6" x 6"

An accidental shape on a scrap of illustration board evoked a sort of Lovecraftian tree. The board originally had a figure sketch on it from the work I did for Lucca Comics & Games. 1/2

Just finished Mistborn book 1. So many people raved about it that I worried it couldn’t possibly live up to the hype, but it did. It’s one of those rare books that makes you wonder why you waited so long to read it in the first place. 🪐📚💙
