I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

bunch of soft goals for the new year.
happy 2026 ✨
In: cosy crochet projects, dnd with friends, writing more stories, patience + trusting the process, gentle hikes and touching moss, staying in touch with my community. Out: pressure to work for the sake of work, ruminating about the past, overthinking progress and success, ignoring need for rest and recovery.

having feelings about my trans green knight sir alder thistleton ✨💚🌿⚔️

[ #art #DnD #thecuriosities ]
An illustration of my eladrin paladin Alder, he has pale green top surgery scars and looks down. It is an illustration based on John Singer Sargent's painting A Man Wearing Laurels. A digital illustration. Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers. It is an illustration based on Aubrey Beardsley's illustration Perseus.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

I cook as a hobby and have a metric boatload of recipes, found and invented, scattered across my kitchen/browser/bookmarks and I want to hire a bookbinder to create for me a recipe book I can stuff it all into.

Also I want to be able to refer to it like a wizard consulting a grimoire when I cook.

reminder that even if you work as a creative it is indeed healthy and needed to have crafty hobbies that are silly, playful and completely not monetised 😤✨
A close up photo of a fabric collage. Small pieces of fabric are pinned on a green gingham background. They are rough shapes creating vegetables: radish and garlic. String tassel is used as sticking out roots and a crochet chained yarn is used as spring onion.
