Juuust saying…

everyone might want to give, “A Bookseller in Madrid”, by Mario Escobar a read.

Let’s just say it’s VERY relative… as history is absolutely repeating itself.

From, “A Bookseller in Madrid”.

No truer words have been written.

I’m still insanely proud with the light and shadow work on this one I did of Dr. Zayne from #loveanddeepspace.

So, because, not surprisingly, this book PISSES a certain FB CEO off, because it airs a certain social media giants dirty laundry out…

I highly highly HIGHLY recommend, “Careless People”, by Sarah Wynn-Williams.

OOOO!!!

Talk about a gift! 💜

I had COMPLETELY forgotten that I entered the giveaway for a copy of Mason Deavers’, “The Build-a-Boyfriend Project”, on Goodreads.

Went to grab my Dominos lunch delivery, turned back to the door to see a box leaning against the door frame, and saw my name on it.

This is the super cute one I actually stopped at today during the afternoon run. Going to give, “The Sparks: Book 1 of the Feud Trilogy”, by Kyle Prue a try!

A big thank you to the owner of this Little Library! 💜

Trying out a different technique for shading and highlights. A few other artists shade with greyscale, then change the layer properties to color burn. Then tweak as needed in another layer to add stronger reflective lighting as well as some complementary colors.

48 HOURS LONG?!

Yeah, there is NO way in hell I’m going to be able to finish the entire audiobook in two weeks before it gets returned to the library.

Stephen… dahling… I love your stories, but… holy hell, dude! 🤣

600 pages w/ Fairy Tale was long enough!

Ack!

The Storygraph app and website servers are down! 😭💔

I DO use Bookmory and Goodreads as well to log my books as I read or listen to them, but Storygraph is my most used and accurate account. I still have a LOT of work to do on my Bookmory account…

And even more awesome news? I decided to get my physical copy of my library card from the county library near work (I have a digital one through them & the QLL for access via Libby).

Going to enter their art contest, AND I’m re-starting Stephen King’s, “Fairy Tale”!

We have the mayoral elections going on here in Lake Wales. Not the bigger one (you know I’d be backing Gay Valimont if I were in one of the selected districts for the special elections…).

But even voting in the local mayoral elections is a step!

Just going to put this riiiiiight here…

from the banned book, “1984”, by George Orwell.

Sound familiar?
February 26, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Time for a third re-read!

And you better believe I’m making a LOT of annotations and such while re-reading.

“1984”, has yet AGAIN become insanely relavent.

How in the world could I forget about Zayne’s arm scars?! Painted them on just now.
February 12, 2025 at 10:57 AM
Doctor Zayne is all done!

I’m really pushing what the ipad and Procreate can handle with the detailing and amount of layers that said ipad can handle.. 🤣😈💜

The PRETTY arrived from Amazon today while I was at work!

Lookatit! LOOOOK! Clarion and Milori are BEAUTIFUL!

Treated myself to another new book. Not Lightlark, that I bought a few weeks ago.

The Invocations, by Krystal Sutherland.

And this time, it’s NOT a romantacy!

Has to deal with witches, witchcraft, and the strength of women. 💜

Zayne’s pretty eyes…

I’ve noticed that not only does he have red-brown flecks in the green of his eyes, he also has a splash of BLUE in them!

InFold going insane with the tiiiiniest of details. 💜

So, because THEY go all out, so must I when I paint them.
February 8, 2025 at 12:21 PM
Fellow ace, demi-ace, and aro’s (those of us under that ace umbrella)!

Came across these through the @queerliblib.bsky.social via the Libby app!

It looks like they only have 3 copies per book, but both are in HIGH demand, so you know I have both on hold for future reading!

In other news, it’s another Ninja Turtles binge day while I work on painting in Procreate.

The ONLY place you can stream the first movie currently here in the US is via Youtubes TV & Movies channel… it’s not even available on Amazon anymore! Something about the license not being renewed.
