I wear many masks. Writer, artist, goth, polytheist. Societal misfits of all kinds are my people, for we share the same enemies. I am author of the webcomic Alcatraz High School, with some more novels forthcoming.

You probably know by now that Harry doesn’t follow advice very well. But at least he’s not getting mixed up with Zeus and Hera.

The map of Oz in my upcoming novel “Zinnia’s Wish”, as drawn in-story by Woot the Wanderer himself. Based in the maps drawn by Dick Martin and James E. Haff for the International Wizard of Oz Club.

My wife sketched this drawing of the Egyptian Goddess Qedesh on paper, while I traced it, colored it and added shading/textures.

This is the scene in “Zinnia’s Wish”, my upcoming Oz novel, where Zinnia first puts on her gloves, gifted to her by Ozma so that she doesn’t accidentally кill anyone with her “Touch of Death” that she wished upon herself. #WizardofOz #illustration #ArtSky #Ozma

The latest illustration for my upcoming Oz novel “Zinnia’s Wish” is from the chapter where Zinnia is under house arrest in the palace after wishing for the power to bring death into Oz. The art on the wall is a redraw of a John R Neill illustration. #illustration #wizardofoz #ArtSky #Ozma

This is a scene in my novel where Zinnia and her friends stop to spend the night with a family of bee keepers, who’s problem is that when the spell that keeps people in Oz from aging took hold, it left their son a baby for over a century, not even old enough to safely eat honey. #WizardOfOz #ArtSky

An unfinished illustration for “Zinnia’s Wish”. This is Scraps the Patchwork Girl, a living dummy from L. Frank Baum’s “The Patchwork Girl of Oz”, and essentially my main character Zinnia’s complete opposite.

This is Lan and Zinnia, the first illustration for my upcoming Oz book Zinnia’s Wish. I was originally going to leave it as line art, but Zinnia just doesn’t look goth enough unless you shade her in. This is a rough draft. First illustration of many. #ArtSky #WizardOfOz #Illustration

Been a while since I shared some art, as I’ve been working on the illustrations for my upcoming novel. But I haven’t completely neglected my webcomic. Here’s a sneak peek at Medjed, a ghost-like ancient Egyptian deity only mentioned in the Book of the Dead. #ArtSky #AncientEgypt #Kemeticism

Here’s the cover art for my upcoming novel “Zinnia’s Wish” by Kamui Ayami. Set in Oz in the 2020s, and based heavily on the original book series, it tackles the issue of immortality in Oz and its many drawbacks.

I’ve updated my “The Decades in Music” mega-playlist, it goes back to 1970 now. These are my favorite songs of each year from 1970 to today. And yes, there’s still a lot of great music coming out in the 2020s. 🎧

In planning for illustrations for my upcoming book “Zinnia’s Wish” I dug up some drawings I did of Ms. Zinnia Gair from her appearance in my webcomic a couple years ago. I won’t copy them outright but they’re certainly helpful as concept art. #Art #ArtSky

Some honest early impressions I have on BlueSky, both good and bad. Don’t worry, though imperfect this place is still better than Facebook in my opinion, and definitely better than the dumpster fire that is Twitter.

One of my sketches from back in the day; it always bothered me in An American Tail: Fievel Goes West how Fievel could turn his hat inside out and it became a cowboy hat. So I drew what everyone else in the movie saw. #ArtSky #TraditionalArt #AnAmericanTail #Fievel
