The Moons, and IV of Pentacles (from the Jovian Princess Tarot Deck 🌝💫)
The XVIII Moon(s) tarot card on top of a mauve background. A woman with porcelain skin dressed with an elbaorate crescent-shaped headpiece and jester-style outfit with patterned tights fusses with her cape while looking back at a pedastel with a globe of the planet Jupiter mounted ontop. 4 brightly colored circles orbit by the globe. The scene is tucked away under a hanging red curtain. The frame around the card is decorated with ornate abstract designs inspired by the characteristics of the four largest moons of Jupiter. The IV of Pentacles tarot card on top of a pink background. A white-haired brown woman in a colorful orange circus outfit with white ruffles and bow accents pets a resting sun bear with hypnotic eyes. The bear wears a gold pineapple crown from which a star radiates pink lights. The woman is bewitched by sparkles around her and is guarding a pentacle, while 3 more rest at her feet. The frame around the card is decorated with ornate abstract designs inspired by the characteristics of the four largest moons of Jupiter.

more from my sketchbook
A collection of watercolour and pencil sketches of foxes in different poses, as well as the wildflower fox and cubs, and a little border design incorporating the two together. A watercolour and pencil sketch of a fox escaping up a tree to avoid a pack of hunting dogs.

Some illustrations I worked on recently for carved in stone by @stoutstoat.co.uk. Loved working on this project!
A group of Picts travelling through the Scottish landscape, making use of dirt paths, old roman roads, bridges and ferries. A group of Picts travelling together (possibly a family? up to you!) including a young man with a spear, a woman dressed in furs, a young girl and a man who has been injured in battle or an accident and lost his right arm. The same group of Picts bartering with a settlement of charcoal burners for a place to stay overnight. Our Picts again, but this time they are camping with a tent. The young man stands watch while the woman cooks and the other two keep themselves entertained.

Carved in Stone is officially out!

In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

So sad to hear this, Quindrie had such a great impact on the Scottish comics scene and produced an incredible line-up of comics! Totally understandable though given how tough things are at the moment and how much work goes into keeping small publishers afloat. Will be missed and remembered fondly!💛

Big news! The Mind, Extended is out now!

Incredible cover artwork by @mortiscausa.bsky.social, who's captured the VR Combat bubble perfectly.

Near future speculative fiction about augmented reality that starts with the complete obliteration of capitalism in the UK...

Another piece of the puzzle has arrived! The enamel pins designed by Asia Kazub are here! Thanks to hitting our 8k stretch goal the pins are hard enamel! the colors look really stellar and there's lots of beautiful details!
a photo of the enamel pins designed for Glatisant, a ttrpg. The pins depict a knight (left) and the questing beast (right) and are designed as busts with a right angle on the outer edge, with the two characters facing each other, though on separate pins. The edges that face each other mirror shapes so that the beasts head looks as though it fits the curve of the knight's helm if they were put together like puzzle pieces.

Comics are things that anyone can and should make, just as much as writing or drawing are things that people can and should do if there's paper and pencils around. It's another way of expressing yourself and it should be fun. Just like writing and drawing.

Digital painting of a man kissing a merman on the cheek and they are surrounded by fish. The illustration is almost abstract, with a color palette of vibrant and dark blues, and pale grays.

Ooops the stars aligned (or misaligned) and I'm opening commissions for custom ceramics! Would you like a loaf tray of your pet? A babushcat? For me to remake a piece I made in the past that you missed out on? Or do you have a different idea? Email me and we can discuss it!
a bunch of ceramic plates on a dark green background - most are shaped like cats, curled up or loafing, but there's also a fox and an owl. they're all in tones of orange, brown and greens a bunch of ceramic plates on a light blue background. Most is shaped liek cats - loafing, curled up or cat faces but there's also a fox and a small dish with a tiger. They're all in tones of blue and white.
